Turmeric

Turmeric has been used traditionally in India as a disinfectant and treatment for laryngitis, bronchitis, and diabetes. Some early research suggests that turmeric may have antifungal and antibacterial properties. Curcumin, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is the most active constituent of turmeric. Curcumin is known to supress microinflammation in the GI tract associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
