Summary

For the previous 6000 years, turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to alleviate pain, balance digestion, purify body and mind, clear skin diseases, expel phlegm and invigorate the blood. Nowadays, this plant has acquired great importance as an anti-aging, anti-cancer, anti-Alzheimer, and antioxidant agent, as well as having a variety of other medicinal properties. The need of the hour is to verify and validate the traditional uses by subjecting them to proper experimental studies. To do this effectively, scientists and researchers need a single comprehensive source of the knowledge to date.
