The Benefits of Turmeric
The Benefits of Turmeric
Popularly associated with Indian cuisine, turmeric is a flowering plant that belongs to the ginger family. It has been a part of traditional medicine for thousands of years and has long been touted for its ability to rejuvenate both skin and hair. So are these claims actually true and what benefits does turmeric have for beauty care?
Turmeric has many active compounds with its main component being curcumin. Curcumin gives turmeric its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties making it a potent natural spice. It helps brighten skin, improves the complexion of skin, and rejuvenates dull-looking skin. It also has antiseptic properties which can help combat acne by preventing bacteria from spreading while anti-inflammatory properties reduce inflammation in the skin.
The healing properties of Turmeric
Turmeric also works against problems like hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. It helps reduce the production of excess melanin which helps even out skin tone and also reduces scars. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties also enable it to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It works by improving the function of the skin cell membranes which not only prevent but also lighten stretch marks.
If you suffer from dry skin or even conditions like eczema or psoriasis, turmeric can be the all-natural ingredient that can turn your condition around. It removes dead skin cells while deeply hydrating and nourishing the skin to keep it smooth, soft, and supple. It helps revitalize the skin and its anti-inflammatory properties also help soothe eczema and psoriasis. Turmeric reduces under-eye bags, dark circles, and puffiness as well restoring a healthy and rejuvenated look.
In addition to its many benefits for skin, turmeric has also been strongly linked with ensuring an extremely healthy scalp and hair as well. This is mostly due to curcumin which has anti-fungal, anti-allergic, and antibacterial properties in addition to those already mentioned. These properties ensure that the scalp remains healthy by powerfully combating conditions like dandruff, scalp dryness, itchiness, and flakiness.
Turmeric and Hair Loss
Turmeric can also be your best friend if you suffer from hair loss. It inhibits the overproduction of DTH which is a hormone that is majorly responsible for hair loss. In addition to this ability, its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can also help your body heal and recover from conditions that negatively impact hair follicles and scalp.
With many benefits for overall health as well, turmeric is a perfect botanical not just to add flavor to your food but to also give you the beautiful skin and hair that you crave.
