Nice harvest :)) and love the capture

In Ayurvedic practices, turmeric has many medicinal properties and use it as a readily available antiseptic for cuts, burns and bruises. It is also used as an antibacterial agent. It is taken as a dietary supplement, which allegedly helps with stomach problems and other ailments.


Indians, in addition to its Ayurvedic properties, use turmeric in a wide variety of skin creams that are also exported to neighboring countries.


Turmeric paste is applied to bride and groom before marriage in some places of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where it is believed turmeric gives glow to skin and keeps some harmful bacteria away from the body.

Turmeric can also be used to deter ants

I remember how much turmeric we used to load as cargo for Europe. Now-a-days of course only in containers. Quite an interesting photo, especially for those who have not seen turmeric in its original form before.
