<div>Turmeric (Curcuma longa) does not require any introduction for its benefits</div><div>because it is an extremely renowned spice and cooking material of Indian kitchens. It</div><div>has a valuable place in Ayurveda for its crude medicinal values. In India, it also has a</div><div>sacred position in festivals, worships, and wedding ceremonies. For a long time, it is</div><div>being used as an important ingredient in different Asian dishes and has a significant</div><div>position in the cooking spices. Except for its valuable uses as a spice, it is known for its</div><div>role in wound treatment, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, pain relief, anti-cancer,</div><div>and so on. It is being used for a long time with several expectations of its great health</div><div>benefits, but there is still no concrete research that proves its heavy potency towards the</div><div>treatment of any serious disease. Although it is not so potent individually for the</div><div>treatment of any serious health issues, its supplemental values must be encouraged, and</div><div>more research is essential to be done on it. This chapter concisely demonstrates the</div><div>significance of turmeric in the treatment of various health issues and its role in food</div><div>supplements.</div>
