Radix Curcumae (Turmeric, Curcuma longa, Curcumino)
The root (radix) of this part
of the East Indian and Chinese Herb Curcuma or turmeric is related
to ginger, and used extensively as a flavoring herb in both
Indian and Chinese cooking. Radix Curcumae has a bright yellow
color and mustard like taste, and it is often used in the preparation
of various curries. Lately, Radix Curcumae has received a great
deal of scientific attention because of the many medicinal properties
it yields. Clinical studies demonstrate that Turmeric and the
curcuminoids it contains act as an antioxidant, anticarcinogenic
and antimutagenic, (inhibiting carcinogenesis and mutagenesis
in laboratory animals), antiinflammatory (comparable in strength
to steroidal drugs and nonsteroidal drugs such as idomethacin
and phenylbutazone), antimicrobial (inhibiting the growth of
numerous gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi and
the intestinal parasite entamoeba histolytica). Radix Curcumae
also shows potential for reducing the risk of heart disease
and slowing the degeneration often accompanying AIDS.
Curcumin, a curcuminoid, also exhibited antibacterial characteristics
by inhibiting production of aflatoxins, a toxin produced by
a mold of poorly preserved foods, which causes damage to the
liver and could result in liver cancer. Turmeric is thought
to be especially important in aiding the body's natural regenerative
and restorative processes (especially in the liver) having been
linked to protein production and metabolism recently by Asian
science. It is also thought useful in clearing the circulatory
system. The active agents, the curcuminoids, appear to preserve
the life of critical biomolecules within the body either by
shielding its activity, preventing their oxidation, or by the
elimination of wastes which could destroy them. The same chemical
process in which meat is preserved by Turmeric, preventing it
from going rancid, appears to work on the body's tissues as
well, preventing degradation of cellular tissues and systems.
