[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

From Blog Talk Radio March 6th 2014
Natural Health with Saul Marcus, ND and Claire Arcidiacono, ND
Summary of discussion

Our 3rd time talking about misconceptions in the world of natural health and supplements.

Echinacea — it’s traditional use as an “Alternative” for “bad blood,” snake bites and other signs of deep toxicity, compared to the modern fad of using it for acute colds.

Kava — Is it really toxic to the liver.

Red clover — Another herb that has been theorized as potentially dangerous because it has phytoestrogens. Discussion of traditional use and more recent biochemical theories about how it works.

Discussion of how herbs work: “Active ingredient” versus the whole herb
Are large doses of herbs necessary?

5-htp: It’s use in depression and fear of Serotonin Syndrome

Saul Marcus and Claire Arcidiacono are both naturopathic doctors practicing in New York.
