The benefits of the spice turmeric, often termed the 'queen of spices', have been recorded as early as 1280AD by Marco Polo and have been used medicinally by China and India for thousands of years.
Turmeric is commonly used to boost flavour in culinary dishes and gives the yellow colour to curries--but it also has many medicinal benefits.
