Curcuma longa
Turmeric is valued for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties.
Historically, it's been used in traditional Himalayan practices for lunar rituals and purification rites, symbolizing the moon's transformative power and an ability to cleanse negative energies.
Physically, it may reduce arthritis pain and inflammation, help prevent age-related eye issues like macular degeneration and cataracts, and support brain health, including memory.
