Turmeric , like ginger, is a rhizome, which grows under the ground. Actually, in my maternal home, in the backyard, they used to grow like a forest, but at that time, people were not aware of this golden Turmeric's health benefits...
Turmeric is always called the "Queen of Spices" and its scientific name is Curcuma Longa.
*Turmeric is a common spice used in Asian, Indian and Central American Cuisine.
*This Golden Turmeric contains Curcumin which is highly anti oxidant.
*The Turmeric is dried, powdered, and  is used in tea, drink, and capsule forms. 
*You can say, in South Indian cuisine, rather most of the Indian cuisines, hardly you can find a recipe without the usage of turmeric.
*Promotes skin health, fights the development of skin tumors.
*Aids digestion, but people with gall bladder diseases should not take turmeric.
*Controls diabetes, improves glucose control.
*Provides a great relief for arthritis
*Heals wounds, because of its anti-septic and anti-bacterial properties.
*Controls weight
*Prevents Alzheimer's disease.
*Prevents periodontal diseases.
