It works for inflammation. But recentlyscientists are studying the idea that turmeric, (actually a chemical in turmeric called curcumin), may prevent Alzheimers. There is very little Alzheimers disease in India. It has also recently been found to be very effective against a type of cancer called multiple myeloma. A cancer that does not respond well to regular cancer chemotherapeutic agents.

what kind of oil? Tumeric is good for a lot of things. It helps the build up of plaque in your veins, it has anti-inflammatory properties, anti bacterial and anti-viral properties, and also helps with parasitic infections. It is good for jaundice, (liver) chest pain and gastritis.
