The use of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and dietary supplements, in general have gained significant popularity globally over the past few decades due to increased interest in natural products and their potential health benefits.
 
Turmeric is a plant related to ginger and it's active chemical ingredient Curcumin, has an incredibly long history in Ayurvedic medicine dating back nearly 4,000 years.
 
Modern medicine has begun to recognize the importance of Turmeric, as indicated by the over 3,000 publications that have been released within the last 25 years. ​

​The therapeutic use of Curcuma was recorded as early as 1748 and the first article referring to the use of Curcumin in human disease was published in 1937 and first shown to exhibit antibacterial activity in 1949.

​Since then, this polyphenol has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, wound-healing, and antimicrobial activities. Extensive preclinical studies over the past three decades have indicated Curcumin’s therapeutic potential against a wide range of human diseases.
Directly from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health on their 'Turmeric fact sheet:

    • Reduce the skin irritation that often occurs after radiation treatments for breast cancer.
  • Other preliminary studies in people have looked at curcumin, a type of curcuminoid, for different cancers, colitis, diabetes, surgical pain, and as an ingredient in mouthwash for reducing plaque.
  • The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has studied curcumin for Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and prostate and colon cancer."
