From times immemorial, Turmeric, commonly known as 'haldi', has
been used by the Ayurvedic and the Unani practitioners in India
as a stomachie, tonic and a blood purifier. It is also used as
an antiperiodic and alterative. Turmeric mixed with warm milk is
a household remedy and is said to be beneficial in common cold.
The fresh juice from the rhizome, a paste prepared from it or a
decoction made from the plant, is often used as a local
application as well as internally in the treatment of leprosy,
snakebite, vomiting of pregnancy and affections of the liver.
Murray advocate its use in troublesome diarrhoeas.
Baden Powell found it to be effective in intermittent fevers and
dropsy. The fresh juice from the rhizomes is believed to have
antiparasitic property in many skin affections. Externally it is
used for indolent ulcers and a paste made from the powdered
rhizomes along with caustic lime forms a soothing remedy for
inflamed joints. A decoction made from the rhizome is said to
relieve pain of purulent opthalmia. It is still a common
practice in India to use a piece of cloth soaked in turmeric
solution for wiping away discharges of acute conjunctivitis and
ophthalmia. Finely powdered turmeric mixed with alum forms a
common household remedy for otorrhoea. A thick watery paste of
turmeric is used for sprinkling on many auspicious occasions
amongst the Hindus in this country in place of saffron because
of its colour. The smoke produced by sprinkling powdered
turmeric over glowing charcoal is said to relieve pain to
scorpion bite.
Turmeric is a wonderfully versatile root that has been in every
Indian household for centuries. Its amazing properties range
from flavouring curries, to sterilizing wounds, to grooming
women. From queens to commoners, turmeric has been indispensable
as a skin-care preparation and grooming aid for every woman.
This is because 63% of the body functions are said to be
controlled by the skin alone.
