Growing Turmeric has been a interesting experience. A good friend had me buy some from this yummy Asian store. Â She told me that is how her family grew it. We both bought some roots. Then I planted them into a pot not knowing what to expect. I knew nothing about growing this magical plant. Â The pot is a pretty big. I am still learning about turmeric and its growing needs.
We have been using turmeric root powder in some of our herbal tea blends. It is great for inflammation. Turmeric’s main active component is curcumin and that is what gives the spice its yellow color. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties. Making this spice a potential treatment for a number of health conditions. Such as for  pain, asthma and decreased movement in people with osteoarthritis. Â
Always check with your doctor before consuming.
