In a recent research
paper published in the official Journal of American Nutrition, the unique
benefits of turmeric, also known as curcuma longa, have been revealed.
Few natural products
have demonstrated the range of protective and therapeutic promise as have
turmeric and its principal bioactive components, the curcuminoids. Turmeric and
its main bioactive components – curcumin, desmethoxycurcumin and
bisdemethoxycurcumin – have many biological effects, including
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, antibacterial, and antiviral activities.
Besides its food
value, turmeric is also an old and effective herbal ingredient in oriental
beauty enhancing applications. Because of powerful healing and revitalizing properties,
it has been used in beauty products for thousands of years. The harsh
pharma-based formulations weaken the living tissue in the dermis (that is
beneath the epidermis). (Epidermis is
the upper layer, consisting of several rows of living cells, covered with a
horny layer of dead cells. These are constantly being shed and replaced by the
cells from the deeper layer, the dermis. Dermis is also called ‘true skin’ as
it is supplied with nutrients from the blood stream; it contains supporting
tissue, which gives the skin its tone and resilience.
Turmeric has amazing
curative properties that supports the dermis tissue; it creates epidermal
stimulation for new cell growth, its antioxidant properties are ideal for
cellular rejuvenation and repair. With
its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric eliminates
infection-causing bacteria without stripping away the skin’s natural oils and
water.
After having
experimented turmeric with different combinations of herbal ingredients,
Herbally Radiant launched a powerful skin-friendly face mask “Turmeric & ClayMask” in powder form. With kaolin and bentonite clay and mixing it with
Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin C Ester, this has become a very popular face mask formulation
for our customers. Priced at $ 23.90 (shipping free), this is the best natural
