Turmeric, a bright golden spice, is a staple in many cuisines and traditional medicine systems around the world.<\/span><\/span> Whether consumed fresh or dried, turmeric has impressive health benefits thanks to its active curcumin.<\/span><\/span> Curcuma longa, a plant of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) from south-east Asia, has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties.<\/span><\/span> Its benefits are also supported by traditional medical systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and by modern scientific research.<\/span><\/span> It’s no secret that all unprocessed products have more nutrients.<\/span><\/span> Fresh turmeric contains more curcumin than powdered turmeric.<\/span><\/span> A certain amount of curcumin is lost in the processing stage.<\/span><\/span> Raw turmeric also contains more essential oils than processed turmeric, as some of its essential oil value is lost during drying and processing.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Health benefits of turmeric:<\/span><\/span> Compared to fresh turmeric, dried turmeric has a longer shelf life, making it convenient to store and use for a long time.<\/span><\/span> While fresh turmeric contains more curcumin, dried turmeric is more concentrated, making it an effective way to consume higher doses of curcumin.<\/span><\/span> Dried turmeric is ground into a powder and can be easily mixed into various recipes, teas and supplements.<\/span><\/span> Studies show that curcumin in dry turmeric can inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells, indicating its potential as a cancer prevention and complementary therapy.<\/span><\/span> The neuroprotective properties of curcumin in dried turmeric may help improve brain function and protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.<\/span><\/span> Curcumin also has a strong anti-inflammatory effect which can help with arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.<\/span><\/span> The antioxidant properties of curcumin in fresh cucumber help neutralise free radicals, protect cells from oxidative damage and reduce the risk of chronic disease.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric is the rRich in vitamins, minerals and essential oils, fresh turmeric strengthens the immune system and the body’s defences against infection and disease.<\/span><\/span> Fresh and dried turmeric stimulates the production of bile, promotes digestion and improves intestinal health.<\/span><\/span> Due to its anti-inflammatory nature, fresh and dried turmeric can provide natural pain relief for a variety of conditions such as joint pain and headaches.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The skin benefits of turmeric:<\/span><\/span> It should be mentioned that turmeric powder has been used for centuries not only in traditional medicine but also in beauty rituals.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric is rich in antioxidants that neutralise free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative damage, preventing premature ageing and promoting a youthful appearance.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric powder helps reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, promoting an even and radiant complexion.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric Powder’s slightly grainy texture acts as a natural exfoliator, removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores and revealing fresh, radiant skin.<\/span><\/span> Thanks to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, turmeric powder effectively fights acne-causing bacteria.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric powder helps to treat minor cuts thanks to its antimicrobial properties.<\/span><\/span> Regular use of turmeric powder can help reduce fine wrinkles and give a more youthful appearance.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric can help regulate oil production, making it suitable for both oily and combination skin.<\/span><\/span> The antioxidants in cucumber help to maintain skin elasticity, prevent loose skin and promote a firmer texture.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Use of fresh and dry turmeric in food:<\/span><\/span> Fresh turmeric – grate or chop fresh turmeric and add to curries, stews, soups, smoothies or teas.<\/span><\/span> Dried turmeric – add dry turmeric powder to soups, stews, rice dishes or lentil dishes, even sprinkle on salads for a warm and distinctive flavour.<\/span><\/span> Turmeric can also be used to make tea and golden milk by mixing it with a warm herbal drink and a little sweetener.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the curcumin in turmeric is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream.<\/span><\/span> This reduces its health benefits.<\/span><\/span> But adding black pepper can help.<\/span><\/span> Studies confirm that the combination of black pepper piperine and curcumin in turmeric increases the absorption of curcumin by up to 2000%.<\/span><\/span> As a result, combining turmeric with black pepper increases its potential health benefits.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


\n Use of turmeric powder on the skin:<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n Turmeric face mask – prepare a paste by mixing turmeric powder with warm water, apply to face and leave on for 10-15 minutes before washing off.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n Leave for 10-15 minutes before cleansing and leave for 10-15 minutes before use.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n Turmeric body scrub – mix turmeric powder with coconut oil and sugar, add a drop of your favourite essential oil and you have a gently exfoliating body scrub.<\/span>
\n<\/span> For acne – mix a pinch of turmeric powder with a few drops of water and apply directly to acne or dark spots. Hold for 5-10 minutes. Acne sufferers can benefit from using turmeric not only externally, but also with food or as a food supplement. Turmeric has digestive, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Attention! Turmeric can turn your skin slightly yellow, but only temporarily (if you use good quality turmeric). The next day, the colour should no longer be visible. Therefore, before using on a large area of skin, always do a test on an area of skin that is not normally visible under clothing. People with sensitive skin should be aware of possible allergic reactions. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Turmeric tea recipe: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients for 1 serving:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup of water <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 -1 teaspoon turmeric powder <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 – 1\/2 teaspoon black pepper <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Healthy sweetener to taste <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Boil the water and add the ingredients. Cook for 5-10 minutes. Sweeten to taste. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Side effects: Digestive problems – Both dry and fresh turmeric can cause digestive upset, especially when used in high doses. In some people it can cause bloating, gas and discomfort in the stomach. Turmeric should be avoided in cases of acute hepatitis, jaundice, gallstones, biliary tract diseases, ulcers and hyperacidity. Blood thinning – The blood thinning properties of turmeric may increase the risk of bleeding, especially when used with blood thinners. Conclusion Both fresh and dried turmeric have many health benefits due to its active compound curcumin. Whether you choose fresh turmeric for its intense flavour or dry turmeric for its convenience and concentrated curcumin content, adding this golden spice to your diet can contribute to overall wellbeing and a healthier life. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
