Better Than Big Pharma – 5 Herbs You Can’t Do Without

Turmeric Root – Powerful Anti-Inflammatory & More
I’m sure you’re familiar with turmeric. It has a mild fragrance and slightly bitter flavor, and is best known as that distinctive flavor you enjoy when eating curry. It also gives mustard it’s bright yellow color.
Turmeric is another herb – well, a spice technically – that acts like one-stop shopping. What doesn’t turmeric do? This curry ingredient is used for everything from eczema to Alzheimer’s. It helps with heart health, digestion, liver function, and more. You can find many resources on turmeric online, from a scientific analysis to sites telling how to use it as everything from a natural dye to a tooth whitener.
One word of caution about using turmeric: some sources say that the active ingredient is fat soluble (meaning you have to consume it with some fat in order to get its benefits) and works best when combined with a small amount of black pepper. In other words, maybe consuming turmeric in a curry is a good idea!
