Turmeric (Curcuma Longa L.)
Turmeric Benefits at a Glance:
- One of the strongest natural anti-inflammatory herbs
- Promotes cellular health and healthy aging
- May help alleviate symptoms linked to inflammation (such as headaches and skin conditions)
- Supports hormonal balance and fertility by supporting healthy inflammation levels
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is responsible for most of turmeric’s health benefits. It acts as a potent natural anti-inflammatory and may help reduce the severity of symptoms related to ongoing inflammation, including migraines, joint pain, menstrual cramps, and skin breakouts.
Studies show curcumin has significant antioxidant activity and helps reduce oxidative stress: a primary factor in premature aging. Curcumin may improve energy production, longevity, and healthy aging by supporting overall cellular health.
Why It’s Included
Chronic inflammation is one of the root causes of hormone imbalances because it interferes with hormone production and signaling.
Curcumin’s natural anti-inflammatory properties and high antioxidant content support each hormone-producing gland and may contribute to overall female hormone balance and production – especially during and after the use of hormonal birth control. Its anti-inflammatory properties can also help reduce the severity of symptoms during hormonal fluctuations, including menstrual cramps, headaches, bloating, and acne.
