Nå ble jeg nysgjerrig. Hvilke positive egenskaper har gurkemeie? Annet enn at ordet er kult å skrive, og det faktisk gir litt god smak....
-Ler, var en tosiders artikkel i et Australsk eller Amerikansk blad (husker ikke helt hva det heter). Og det typiske er at jeg ikke husker hva som stod der heller
Annet at det skulle være bra for en hel del ting

Turmeric is a common ingredient of traditional oriental medicine for use as a stomach tonic and blood purifier, and was used for a variety of skin conditions and minor injuries. Today, turmeric is considered potentially beneficial for use in connection with symptoms associated with a variety of health conditions due to its purported antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.
The active constituent in turmeric is known as curcumin, which is believed to be responsible for the following medicinal and therapeutic properties:
* Acts as anti-inflammatory by lowering histamine levels
* Acts as anti-oxidant protecting against free radical damage
* Protects liver from certain toxins
* Improves circulation by inhibiting blood platelets from sticking together
Turmeric has been used in connection with the following conditions and symptoms:
* Digestive disorders - Curcumin, one of the active ingredients in turmeric, induces the flow of bile, which breaks down fats. Extracts of turmeric root inhibited gastric secretion and protected against injuries caused by medications such as indomethacin and reserpine in an animal study. Further studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans.
* Arthritis - Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory agent that relieves the aches and pains associated with arthritis.
* Cardiovascular conditions
* Cancer Turmeric has shown to decrease symptoms of skin cancers and reduced the incidence of chemically caused breast cancer in lab animals.Bra for meg, siden jeg har mye hudkreft i fam. (er iallefall en positiv ting å tilføre kosthold!!) * Bacterial infection - The herb's volatile oil functions as an external antibiotic, preventing bacterial infection in wounds.
Animal studies lead researchers to believe that ethanol extracts of turmeric may protect the gastric lining against injury caused by drugs such as indomethacin and reserpine. More research is required to substantiate all of turmeric's purported health benefits.
