Good morning~It's Miko!
I had a stomach ache because I drank too much alcohol, but for some reason the pain went away when I inject turmeric into my stomach.
Today, let's take a look at turmeric, which has a lot of amazing powers!
What is Turmeric?
Turmeric is a perennial plant of the ginger family, known as "turmeric" in English. It is famous as a curry spice, but it is actually a versatile herb that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda for a long time.
There are currently over 50 identified types of turmeric, but in Japan the most commonly sold are the highly nutritious "spring turmeric," "autumn turmeric," "purple turmeric," and "white turmeric."
The taste and uses of turmeric
The taste of turmeric varies depending on the type. Spring turmeric has a strong bitter taste, while autumn turmeric is not so bitter. It is often used as a spice in dishes such as curry and paella, but it seems to be popular overseas to add it to lattes. In healthy cafes in Australia, "turmeric latte" made by mixing turmeric and honey with frothed soy milk is said to be one of the standard menu items.
The amazing benefits of turmeric
Turmeric not only breaks down alcohol , but also has antibacterial and anti-arteriosclerosis effects , as well as beauty benefits . Curcumin , a type of polyphenol contained in turmeric, helps improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels , and is also effective for dieting .
Curcumin also has an antioxidant effect . This effect acts on skin cells, preventing skin problems such as age spots, wrinkles, sagging skin, and dullness . It is truly an herb with outstanding skin-beautifying effects.
The spring turmeric in the spotlight
Recently, spring turmeric has also been attracting attention. It contains six times as many essential oil components as autumn turmeric , and there are more than 100 types . Azulene, one of the essential oil components, has the effect of curing inflammation and ulcers, and has long been used as an ingredient in ointments to relieve pain.
It has also been found that spring turmeric has a stronger antibacterial effect than autumn turmeric. It has been reported to be effective against several bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella . Furthermore, research results have been published showing that it is also effective in suppressing cancer , and it is attracting more and more attention.
How to Choose a Turmeric Supplement
However, you need to be careful when choosing a turmeric supplement. There are countless products on the market, but there is a big difference in quality. To choose a decent product, check three things: " What type of turmeric is included, and what percentage?", "Where is it produced?", and "Is the cultivation method reliable?"

How to take turmeric and precautions
Turmeric is a natural food that has been loved as a wisdom of our ancestors. Incorporating it into your daily life will help you maintain your beauty and health. However, be careful as excessive intake can put a strain on your liver function. If you take a large amount at once, it will not be absorbed and will be excreted, so we recommend putting one teaspoon in a cup, dissolving it in hot or cold water, and drinking it after or during meals, 2 to 3 times a day.
