Question : What is the efficacy of turmuric spice and/or extract? The Uses & safety?
Brief Answer:
need details
Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your query and following is necessary guidelines
1. Due to presence of curcumin in turmeric it is widely used in medicine for three purposes (although google is flooded with many)
. as an anti inflammatory (arthritis,sport injuries)
. as an anti oxidant/ anti tumor (autoimmune disease) thus it is usually used as a preventive medicine rather than curative, so do let me know for which purpose you want to use the same.
. Also powder/spice and extract have different uses and dosage, since one person is comfortable with spice and not with other and vise versa so if possible do let me know to which part you are comfortable with.
