Our turmeric comes from India, which is also evident from its name. Its name comes from the Latin name of the plant, curcuma longa and this in turn from Arabic. In Arabic, kurkum means saffron. The English prefer the word tumeric to "terra merita" which means praiseworthy land.
From the Indians to the Chinese and Tibetans, turmeric is a spice that plays a leading role in traditional medicine. It is used to treat the digestive and liver system, arthritis, fever and inflammation.
