the marigold-coloured spice, known as turmeric, which is revered in india as ‘holy powder’, has been used for centuries to treat wounds, infections and other health problems. there has been increasing research into turmeric’s main ingredient, curcumin, and its astonishing array of antioxidant, anti-cancer, antibiotic, antiviral, and other, properties. researchers have discovered that curcumin acts by inserting itself into cell membranes, and making them more orderly, a move that improves the cells’ resistance to infection and malignancy. it appears that curcumin – the pigment that gives turmeric its yellow-orange colour, and which is thought to be responsible for many of its medicinal effects – is able to ‘discipline’ cells, and get them back into working order.
