In Thailand, on the other hand, people enjoy cooking with freshly grated turmeric and particularly appreciate the pleasant heat of this ginger relative. The popular Thai dish "Pad Thai," for example, is prepared with freshly grated turmeric.

In the West, however, the medical potential of turmeric was long ignored, and the tuber was used as a cheap saffron substitute, as a component for curry spices or as a yellow dye for food coloring. In the meantime, the medicinal and healing effects as well as the palatability of turmeric have also gained recognition in Western countries.

Countless scientific studies have now studied the medical mechanisms and the positive effects of turmeric on our health. This is due in no small part to the ancient use of turmeric in Asian countries, which are already ahead of Western countries in this regard.

For a long time, the use of turmeric as a pain reliever was ridiculed by Western medicine or dismissed as an inferior component of natural healing – this scientific study was able to take the wind out of the skeptics' sails and clearly establish turmeric as an effective natural painkiller. This is particularly significant for individuals affected by inflammatory processes in the body or those suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis who are looking for natural remedies.

A significant portion of our visible aging is caused by so-called TelomeresTelomeres are, in a sense, the fountain of youth when looking at the natural aging process in humans. Telomeres consist of proteins and repetitive DNA, representing the ends of our linear chromosomes. You can think of a telomere as a protective cap at the end of the chromosomes that shields our genes and the information they contain from damage and decay.

However, the reality is that a telomere becomes slightly shorter with every cell division. Eventually, when the telomere has become significantly short, the protected gene can be compromised – we age – visually, physically, and mentally. We therefore want to keep our telomeres long and the Telomerase, support the natural process that rebuilds telomeres. Turmeric naturally stimulates telomerase, which rehabilitates our telomeres and thus keeps our cells young.
