Turmeric root is relative of ginger and is a medicinal master.

Curcumin, the active star compound in turmeric promotes healthy inflammatory responses and is fantastic for alleviating the symptoms of arthritis.

Turmeric helps:

• relieve joint pain and swelling
• clear congestion
• fire up fat metabolism
• reduce gas and bloating
• inhibit abnormal cell growth

Curcumin absorbs better when paired with the piperine black pepper, so sprinkle some of that into your dish and you use turmeric.
