The Almighty Turmeric

Turmeric, also called “yellow ginger” is actually a part of the ginger family of plants and the part of the turmeric plant that we use for cooking or medicine is the rhizome of the plant, which is the fleshy root system. Turmeric is used in everything from the now trending ‘turmeric latte’, to teas, to curries, pastes, and poultices, as a digestive aid, for flaky skin, and for inflammatory conditions like psoriasis, dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disorders, to name a few.
