The Healing Power of Turmeric: An Ancient Ayurvedic Medicinal Food [Solo Episode 6]

<p>Turmeric root in raw form has many culinary and medicinal uses. Turmeric root dates back nearly 4000 years to the Vedic culture in India. In Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric has been used to treat a variety of ailments and injuries both internally and topically. Nowadays, turmeric has become more mainstream as in popular drinks like golden milk lattes, and it's also found in many American supermarkets. This healing superfood is best used in its raw whole food form as a culinary root much like its sister root, ginger. I've personally found turmeric to be very effective as a headache remedy, and have successfully used turmeric to stop the onset of a migraine.
