Going back to our roots: The health benefits of Turmeric


Adding the golden tinge of Turmeric to your daily life can boost your health and happiness in many ways.


Did you know?


People in the Middle Ages called Turmeric the "Indian Saffron", a less expensive alternative to saffron?


India is the world's largest producer of turmeric powder as well as the world's largest consumer of it. This yellow-orange has always been an integral part of the Indian food and traditional medicine system. Very recently, when the COVID-19 infection was at its peak, medical practitioners and Ayurvedic experts, amongst other precautions, underlined the use of turmeric in daily life for better immunity. Sangsara's Turmeric Capsules are a great alternative for everyday use. The capsules have anti-inflammatory properties and natural antioxidants and work as excellent immunity boosters, and the best part- easy consumption!


So, what's so special about turmeric and how it is beneficial for our health, let's look into that in this blog.


  • Turmeric is a no side-effect pain reliever


Every time you bruise yourself while playing, you must have heard your mom saying "Have Haldi Milk for your wound to heal faster". Turmeric has promising abilities to not just heal external wounds, but also to ease joint pain in arthritis, stiffness of muscles, and inflammation. Turmeric has flavonoid curcumin, which when absorbed by your body, helps in relieving pain.


In fact, regular use of turmeric also helps in easing Premenstrual syndrome (also called PMS symptoms in medical terms) and brings great relief from menstrual cramps.


  • Turmeric helps with viral infections


When feeling under the weather, it is best to consume turmeric either in tea (Kadha in Indian culture) or as an ingredient in the food. Curcumin in Turmeric helps fight a variety of viruses including flu and acts as a natural immunity booster, preventing recurring viral infections. No wonder, Turmeric was and is considered a must during the pandemic also.


  • Turmeric reduces depression


Amongst the various benefits of turmeric, this one stands out the most as one could think how a spice can prevent and reduce depression?


Curcumin proactively helps in increasing levels of serotonin and dopamine, which regulate mood and other body functions. This way, regular intake of turmeric is very useful in healing from and preventing depression.

Not just that, turmeric is great for boosting brain function. The reduction of a protein called Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is observed in depression patients. Moreover, the hippocampus, responsible for good learning and memory function also shrinks. Studies show that curcumin available in turmeric can boost BDNF levels and help fight depression.


  • Turmeric for good heart health


Turmeric can lower the risk of heart disease. Whether it is regulating blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks, or, managing healthy cholesterol levels, regular use of turmeric helps with it all. If you find it hard to incorporate turmeric in raw or powdered form in your diet, it is always good to use Sangsara's Turmeric Capsules to maintain a healthy heart, body, and mind.


  • Turmeric helps prevent chronic like illnesses like Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease


The curcumin in Turmeric is a beneficial herb that slows down uncontrolled cell growth and hence the growth and development of cancer. In addition, studies show that inflammation and oxidative damage have a significant role in Alzheimer's disease, and turmeric can work magically to reduce their effect on the body. There's no cure found for Alzheimer's Disease yet, but Turmeric is an effective way of prevention.


Turmeric purified your blood enhances gut health, naturally brightens the skin, heals infections, cures indigestion, protects eyes, strengthens the heart and saves the liver…


And this list goes on.
