Nature's Miracle Healer: Fact or Fiction
Turmeric is a traditional herbal remedy that has been used for
centuries and in recent years has been hailed as a "miracle cure" for
a range of illnesses from arthritis to auto-immune disease. Penelope
Ody, one of Britain's leading herbalists, draws on the extensive
scientific studies that have appeared on curcuminoids (one of the many
chemical constituents of turmeric) in one of the most authoritative
book on turmeric currently available. In Turmeric Penelope Ody
provides a history of turmeric and its therapeutic role. From its
cultivation to its traditional use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine
to its centrality to the Asian diet (including some recipes, since
many will be familiar with turmeric as a culinary spice). Turmeric has
been used medicinally in South Asia for more than 4,000 years; today
its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are well established
and may be helpful for a host of illnesses, from arthritis and
diabetes to Alzheimer's and heart disease. Penelope Ody investigates
this ancient remedy's suitability for twenty- first century ailments
separating the hysteria about its benefits from a realistic evaluation
into how it can help to improve any reader's health.
