Solid Gold- Medicinal values of Turmeric
The healing power of turmeric goes beyond its well-known compound- Curcumin. Ar- Tumerone, a lesser known component in this herb is known to help increase the number of neural stem cells (NSCs)- the brain cells capable of continuous self –renewal, a mandatory requirement for brain repair. The research, done on rats, also found that the newly formed NScs also increase the number of fully differentiated neuronal cells, showing that a healing effect was taking place.Turmeric has thus become a promising candidate to support cell regeneration in neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
