Synopsis

Turmeric (Curcuma (onja L) is a spice and a medicine. Research has revealed that curcumin has a wide range of beneficial properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, chemo-preventive and chemotherapeutic activity. It also serves as a multipurpose herbal remedy for practitioners of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and traditional Chinese medicine. Turmeric has recently been nominated by the National Cancer Institute for more in-depth studies in developing curcumin as a drug for the treatment of cancer with its proven safety to humans. Keeping this in mind this book has been edited with 13 chapters contributed by eminent scientists on all aspects covering history, botany, cultivation, secondary agriculture and nutraceuticals.
