Turmeric is a flowering plant (Curcuma longa), of the ginger family. It is a common spice that comes from the root. It contains a chemical called curcumin, which might reduce swelling.

Turmeric has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavour or colour curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses. 

It has been used in India for thousands of years as both a spice and medicinal herb. Recently, science has started to back up traditional claims that turmeric contains compounds with medicinal properties.

These compounds are called curcuminoids. The most important one is curcumin, the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.

It is often used to treat conditions that involve pain and inflammation and decrease swelling. However, curcumin is poorly absorbed into your bloodstream. 

In order to experience the full effects of curcumin, its bioavailability (the rate at which your body absorbs a substance) needs to improve. Consume it with black pepper which contains Piperine. It is a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000%.
