Curcuma Lunga
Curcuma longa L. (turmeric) belongs to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) and is one of the oldest cultivated spice plants in Southeast Asia. For many years, the rhizome of this plant has been utilised as a safe and effective treatment for a variety of chronic conditions, particularly diabetes mellitus (DM). Turmeric's key ingredient, curcumin (diferuloylmethane), has a wide range of medicinal effects. Many extensive studies (in vitro and in vivo) as well as clinical trials have revealed its extremely beneficial biological activities linked to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cancer-preventive characteristics in recent years.
