The dried powder of the root is also contained in traditional curry and gives it its attractive colour. But the best thing about turmeric is its broad spectrum of effects , which promotes health.
Turmeric fresh or dried

The anti-inflammatory properties are worth their weight in gold, as you can quickly help yourself with the root when things get serious with colds, minor injuries or joint pain. The root is effective against arthritis and arthrosis. It reduces high blood pressure and regulates the function of the liver and pancreas. In general, it can be said that the metabolism experiences a strong stimulation. Kidney function is promoted, the formation of kidney stones is prevented and existing ones are dissolved.
