Turmeric is incredible! An Indian spice, it is attributed to fending off Alzheimer’s disease by many health experts because it is a brain-protecting agent. It is an anti-inflammatory and has success in treating menstrual difficulties, hemorrhage, toothache, chest pain, and flatulence. Breakdown of its components show that it can be as effective as ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory. It is also a very powerful antioxidant and protects healthy cells from free radicals. It can prevent certain cancers, and it can even destroy mutated cancer cells so they cannot spread throughout the body, preventing tumor growth. Turmeric also protects against heart disease!
