Benefits of Turmeric

Turmeric was not something that I had ever heard of until I started turning my kitchen around to include home remedies and recipes. Also known as Curcuma longa, it is an ancient healing spice that has been around for centuries, using the concept that food is also medicine. I have been using it for joint/muscle pains and headaches but didn't realize it had much more to offer the body. See all the health benefits of turmeric along with a smoothie recipe. :)
