While the focus of this blog is not on healing, mention must be made of the additional benefits that these seemingly simple gifts of nature bring and contribute to health and well-being. It should be noted that the spices over the years have been used for some benefit that it brought to human health. For example, the components of curry all contribute in some way to proper digestion; is it that spices were digestive aids primarily and taste and flavour were just collateral benefits?
Let's consider Turmeric. Much has been written in aurvedic aand natural medicines, and many publications as well as online resources. The Daily Meal recently carried an article written by Dr. Verma, touting Turmeric as the queen of spices and a powerful healer being used in both food and medicine for centuries.
