Turmeric has very potent anti-microbial and anthelmintic properties making it an great treatment for mild food poisoning and support for those suffering from worms. Unlike anti-biotics, Turmeric kills harmful bacteria, worms, and protozoa while supporting the natural flora on which proper digestion depends. Turmeric also stimulates digestion by encouraging the liver towards a healthy level of bile production and purging accumulated toxins from the subtle vessels of the livers complex membranes. Through its support of healthy liver function, Turmeric also greatly benefits the skin and the blood. Turmeric quickens the healing of wounds and lesions and restores natural elasticity and vibrancy to the skin.
