Let's count down from number twelve) Your teeth will get whiter. If you've tried everything to get that whiter than white smile, give turmeric try. A 2013 study by researchers, at the department of oral pathology at India's Punjab University, prove that this spice can help whiten your teeth. Known as curcuma longa in the scientific community, turmeric has been used in traditional Indian medicine for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. All this makes it a miracle product in dental care. Simply dip your toothbrush in sunflower or olive oil and then in ground turmeric. Brush your teeth for 3 minutes and repeat this procedure two to three times a week. You'll see the first results in just one month.

Number eleven) You'll get control of your acne. Turmeric has been used in Ayurveda, or holistic medicine, for ages to treat skin conditions. Although it does not have the backing of modern science, its effectiveness for skin health was proven in a 2016 study by dermatologists from Drexel University and the University of California Sacramento. They analyzed 234 articles on skin conditions in their treatment and it turned out that in 10 out of 18 cases, turmeric was shown to be an effective anti-acne remedy. Acne is caused by an excess of the bacteria Pro prion. While the bacterium that causes acne is becoming more resistant to antibiotics, turmeric has proven to be a great natural alternative. Try it for yourself. Simply mix one tablespoon of aloe juice and 1/4 TSP of turmeric. Apply the paste to problem areas for 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it off. Repeat the process 3 times a week. You should experience clearer skin in about a month.

Number ten) It can help your hair to grow much faster and thicker. A number of different factors in our crazy fast-paced world can trigger hair loss like stress, a poor diet and hormonal imbalance just to name a few. A study by the Korean Bio-Spectrum Life Science Institute has shown that the curcumin in turmeric can prevent hair loss by strengthening the hair follicles. Stronger hair follicles mean faster growing and healthier hair. All you have to do is add 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder to 2 or 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to make a nutritious hair mask. Apply the paste to your roots for 30 minutes and then wash it off. Do this one to three times a month.

Number nine) It can strengthen your systems immunity. Turmeric can help boost your biological immunity by activating important immune cells like T cells, B cells, macrophages and neutrophils. According to researchers, at Ohio State University, taking turmeric with your food or in the form of supplements isn't the best for strengthening immunity since it mostly stays in the gastrointestinal tract and metabolize as quickly. To get the most out of it, mix 1/3 cup of turmeric with 2/3 cup of water. Heat the mixture in a saucepan for 10 minutes, transfer it to a sterilized jar and store it in the fridge. Once daily, dilute 1 to 2 teaspoons of the paste in a glass of warm water and add a little honey. The turmeric and its useful curcumin component will dissolve easily and enter the bloodstream. If you are feeling ill, increase this to every three to four hours until the symptoms subside.

Number eight) It will help cure a sore throat. Indian scientists, in the Department of Oral Pathology at Punjab University, concluded that due to its antimicrobial properties, turmeric extract can stop the growth of bacteria and parasites and reduce inflammation in the throat. So, use it to your advantage by mixing one-half teaspoon of turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of hot water use it as a gargle three times a day until your throat feels better.

Number seven) You'll say goodbye to your cold. Turmeric’s amazing antibiotic effects and anti-inflammatory properties also make it an excellent cure for the common cold.

That vitamin boost will combat the cold in no time and stop bacteria from spreading any further.

Number six) It will help heal broken skin and wounds. In 2007 researchers, at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda Maryland, studied turmeric properties as a cure for skin conditions such as scleroderma, psoriasis and even skin cancer. Once again, they proved that Indian medicine has been using it for centuries, for a reason, as it prevents free radicals from spreading and stops inflammation in wounds. This helps to heal them faster. Just mix 1/2 TSP of turmeric with 1/2 TSP of ground ginger with a little water spread the resulting paste on the affected area. Apply it once a day and you'll notice visible results very soon.

Number five) You'll feel less joint pain. In 2016, a study was conducted, in the Department of Pharmacology at Malaysia's Kabang Tseng University Medical Center, to find out the effect curcumin has on joint inflammation. Patients involved in the research took extracts of curcuma noise and enhanced curcumin. At the end of the trial they saw reduced pain, better physical function and an improved quality of life. The study also suggested that curcumin can be used for the prevention of joint diseases. If you want to try it for yourself, mix 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 to 3 crushed garlic cloths. Apply the paste to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes daily for two weeks.

Number four) It will improve your mood and stimulate brain function. Researchers at The University of California Los Angeles asked 40 adults, ages 51 to 84, to take curcumin twice a day. The scientists then monitored their cognition with the help of memory tests and noticed a visible improvement by the end of the trial. This makes turmeric an excellent agent for the prevention or treatment of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and stroke prevention. Be sure to drink one glass of cold water with ½ teaspoon of curcumin combined with ½ teaspoon of black pepper and a slice of lemon once a day. The effect is instantaneous.

All this is possible thanks to turmeric’s antioxidant neuro protective, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic powers. You can get maximum benefits from it by combining ¼ teaspoon of turmeric ½ teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of black pepper and add the mixture to your soups and salads.

Number two) Your skin will look younger. In 2014, scientists, at the Department of Zoology at The University of Delhi, tested the anti-aging properties of turmeric. They concluded that genes regulating metabolism, DNA repair and antioxidant systems actually control human life's chronic inflammation causes. So by the dysregulation of proteins cells and organs, this could be the potential cure for age-related processes. For youthful looking skin, mix one teaspoon of turmeric, 1 TSP of milk and one teaspoon of honey. Apply it to steamed treated skin on the face and neck for 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it off. Repeat the procedure every other day for a month. Then, take a two month break between courses.
