Turmeric Root Powder - USDA Certified Organic
Turmeric is a powerful herb that reduces inflammation, fights infection and stops bleeding, while simultaneously strengthening and stimulating digestion. Closely related to Ginger, it is also made from the root of the plant and is used both fresh and dry for a wide variety of purposes. It is a warming herb that is both purifying and relaxing, and consequently has a whole range of applications from aiding in the practice of yoga to fighting serious chronic or acute conditions.
More than anything Turmeric is renowned for its powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It is perhaps one of the most effective anti-inflammatory agents in ayurvedic medicine. It is particularly helpful in treating and preventing ulcers because its anti-inflammatory effects calm erosive agents, while it also promotes mucous development, and stops bleeding. It has been used very effectively against stomach ulcers such gastritis, peptic ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome. However, it also has anti-cancer properties that render it quite effective against abnormal growths like breast and uterine cysts and tumors.
Turmeric is a powerful healing agent in the fight against all manners of pathogens. It is perhaps one of the best available natural antibiotics, as it is non-toxic, even in high doses. A further benefit is that it does not deplete the intestinal flora whose symbiotic relationship we depend upon for proper digestion and immune support, but it in fact stimulates and increases this flora as well as the internal digestive fire. This gives it a double punch against a variety of gastro-intestinal and respiratory problems, where its combination of anti-biotic and anti-bacterial properties and immune-supportive and nourishing effects kill pathogens without damaging the body as pharmaceutical antibiotics do.
Turmeric is a great tonic for the liver. It increases the flow and solubility of intestinal bile making it great for treating gall stones and all kinds of toxic liver conditions. It also balances cholesterol in the arteries and the liver, where it works both to prevent and break down cholesterol and plaque build-up. In combination with milk and licorice root its anti-oxidant properties come to the forefront to help revitalize the liver. However, it does not just clean the liver, it is also a powerful purifier of the blood and subtle channels, and even stimulates the production of new blood cells.
Turmeric is also great for the muscles, skin, and joints, for which it can be used externally in a paste in addition being taken internally. As a paste made with honey it is great for sprains, strains, bruises and itch, and is a general tonic to the skin. It joins well with the anti-pathogenic and progenerative properties of honey to sooth irritations and speed up the healing process. It also has natural UV protective properties that make it a great sunblock, which adds to its healing benefits when applied to wounds and rashes. Taken internally, it relaxes and stretches the muscles and helps the body to better adapt to the vicissitudes of life. It is great to take with honey for those who practice yoga, as the combination helps to loosen, tone, and lubricate the muscles and joints.
Turmeric is a versatile and powerful ayurvedic spice. It is brings balance and purity to the body in subtle and profound ways. It cleans the digestive and metabolic centers of the body as well as the mind and the srotas, or subtle channels of communication, helping the body to better operate in harmony with itself. It cleanses and opens the chakras, helping one to receive and express the cosmic energy which is the sources of all life. It gives the energy of the divine Mother and grants prosperity. It is a wonderful spice to get to know and include as a daily part of one’s life.

*************** About Gopala Ayurveda: The Hindi meaning Gopala is ‘The Nurturer of the Cow’. The cow is an auspicious blessing from Mother Earth for the good of all humankind. They who care for the blessings which our Mother has given us, care for the Mother herself. It is through this care that the bountiful provision which is our inheritance is enjoyed, preserved and multiplied for ourselves, our children and generations to come. This is our deepest desire and purpose: that all humanity may have life and have it more fully. Our name in every way reflects this desire and the means by which we propose to pursue it. It is for this reason that we use only 100% organically grown, harvested, and processed herbs in our products, support sustainable economics, and endeavor to continue the millennia old tradition of natural and holistic science. The roots of Gopala Ayurveda reach deep into the rich and ancient naturopathic tradition of Ayurveda. Utilizing the wisdom of this four thousand year old science with the technological potential of modern science we render these ancient formulations in a potent form, all the while maintaining faithful adherence to the formulae and therapies of the ancient texts. To this end, we have spearheaded research to develop Ayurveda’s vast herbal tradition into a comprehensive range of products to support healthiest and longest lives for our customers.

Gopala is a pioneer in purely organic ayurvedic supplements, herbs, and oils. We promote healthy foods and nutritional products, and despite utilizing the benefits of modern science and technology, we train a strict eye on all stages of development and processing to be sure that our products do not suffer contact with any toxic or synthetic chemicals. Since the birth of this project, we have focused on the development of safe and effective remedies that will help people lead richer and healthier lives.

Consequently, the consumer may know both exactly where and when each herb came from and the circumstances surrounding this journey to their hands. Gopala is unique in this regard.
