Abstract:

Curcuma longa commonly known as turmeric is a well herbal medicine traditionally used as a spice in Indian food. Turmeric is used in India for thousands of years as a major part of Ayurvedic medicine. It was first used as a dye and then later for its possible medicinal properties. Turmeric is traditionally used as a spice and colouring in foods due to curcuminoids curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, as important chemical constituents. Curcuma longa shows wide range of biological activities such as antiinflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective and digestive activities. This Review expresses the development of long from a traditional spice to a modern application in the present period.              

Keywords: Curcuma longa; Turmeric; Curcumin; Ayurvedic medicine; Anti-inflammatory, Antioxidants; Anticancer; Antimicrobial activity.
