From Nature's Pharmacy: Curcuma - More Than Just A Spice

In Ayurvedic medicine, curcuma has been an essential remedy for many years. In Indian cuisine, this spice is used often and in larger quantities. It gives the dish its bright yellow colour and is said to aid digestion, as it helps the liver to metabolise fats.
At the moment, various scientific studies are carried out, to find out what else curcuma can do for us.
Apart from protecting and helping the liver to regenerate, curcuma also helps to detox the body from mercury and fluorides; it can protect the brain from damages caused by alcohol abuse.
Cooking with curcuma more often can also prevent gall stones and help with the symptoms of IBS.
