Spices are as popular today as they were some 7,000 years
ago—maybe even more popular. Throughout history, spices
have been used for everything from dyeing fabrics to making
perfume to crowning emperors.
Spices are among the most powerful healing remedies
in nature. Oregano, for example, is packed with antibacterial
and antifungal properties. Cilantro helps bind to heavy
metals and remove them from the body. Parsley helps
purify the blood, enhance detoxifi cation, and relieve water
retention. Cinnamon helps support healthy blood sugar
levels. And then there’s turmeric, arguably the most
popular spice in the supplement aisle today.
We cover turmeric quite a bit in the magazine because
it’s recommended for so many diff erent health issues. On the
research side, curcumin, the active compound in turmeric,
has been shown to help prevent and/or improve a range of
conditions, including Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and memory.
According to herbalist and Better Nutrition contributing
writer Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, RH, DC-N, turmeric is
fi rst and foremost an anti-infl ammatory remedy. In high
doses, it is excellent for acute infl ammation, he says. Khalsa
also uses turmeric to ease ulcers and digestive problems.
This month, turmeric is one of the “Top 10 Supplements
for Men” on p. 28. Among its numerous health benefi ts,
turmeric supports prostate health. And on p. 26, beauty
editor Sherrie Strausfogel uncovers the skin benefi ts of
turmeric. When applied topically, turmeric helps brighten
skin, reduce acne breakouts, and more.
For more on turmeric, go to betternutrition.com and
search for “10 Benefi ts of Turmeric and Curcumin”—this
is one of my all-time favorite articles on the topic.

The condition of your hair, skin, and nails depends on three
proteins, known as your three beauty proteins. Collagen reduces
fine lines and wrinkles. Elastin tightens your skin and gives it
“bounce back.” Keratin increases hair strength and thickness,
and strengthens nails. BioSil® increases all three – naturally.†
