Turmeric is a perennial plant within the ginger family with long strappy, tropical leaves growing to 1 meter with attractive, creamy white flowers. The chunky, knot-like rhizomes are orange inside, with smaller side shoots called ‘fingers’. Turmeric has a mild, spicy aroma and is known to many people only as a culinary spice. Turmeric has been used extensively by Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine practitioners to treat liver and digestive problems, skin diseases and wounds and as an anti-inflammatory. Turmeric contains powerful antioxidants and many anti-inflammatory compounds.
