Aromatherapy uses: The properties are aphrodisiac, analgesic, anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral, bactericidal, diuretic, hypotensive, insecticidal, laxative, rubefacient and digestive stimulant. Turmeric is seen as an excellent natural antibiotic, while at the same time it strengthens digestion and helps improve intestinal flora. It is a good anti-bacterial for chronically weak or ill.

It also is antiarthritic and acts as a natural anti-bacterial Pharmaceutical Uses: The most active component is curcumin, an orange-yellow volatile oil that includes three curcuminoids, atlantone and zingiberone. Research shows that turmeric and its curcuminoids have a number of beneficial properties: • It acts as a good antioxidant, comparing well with vitamin C, vitamin E and superoxide dismutase. • It is good anti-inflammatory that is comparable to steroidal and nonsteroidal drugs. • It has anticancerous properties affecting all the steps of cancer formation: initiation, promotion and progression. • It protects the cardiovascular system by lowering serum cholesterol and inhibiting platelet aggregation. • It protects the liver by several mechanisms thereby curing jaundice and other liver disorders. • It is helpful in vitro and in vivo studies which show that curcuminoids can help with HIV in a number of ways, including acting as biological response modifiers, resulting in significant increases in CD-4 and CD-8 counts. 85 J<strong>BNB</strong> (Vol. I ) Issue I January’2013
Industrial uses: It is one of the most important colouring materials of India. The leaf oil yield the orange-red dye. It is much used to impart a yellow colour to cloth.

Turmeric colour also serves as a chemical indicator since it changes its colour on adding acids or alkalies. Curcuma oil (obtained from turmeric) is an effective mosquito repellant and compares favorably with dimethyl phthalate in its repellant action against mosquitoes. Natural dyes derived from plant extracts are being used in hair colorant products; curcumin from turmeric also used in natural dye produces a range of color from yellow to deep orange. The oleoresin obtained by extraction of tubers of Curcuma longa with volatile solvents and chiefly contains resin and yellow colouring matter known as curcuminoids which is used extensively in fragrance creation in perfumery industry.
