~The More You Know!~

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is native in southeast India, and needs temperatures between 20 and 30°C (68 and 86°F) and a considerable amount of annual rainfall to thrive.

The plant has culinary in uses in East Asia as well as serving as remedy for stomach and liver ailments.

However, as the card warns us, too much Turmeric can cause effects like slow blood clotting, lower testosterone levels, decreased sperm speed and (ironically) stomach aches. It can also worsen diabetes, iron deficiency and gallbladder problems.
