Traditional Information:
Turmeric essential oil has been used in Egyptian and Ayurvedic traditions for over 4,000 years and is valued for its antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, diuretic, and antispasmodic properties.
The oil is also a strong relaxant, metabolic and emotional balancer, providing psychological support by promoting relaxation and easing feelings of stress and anxiety.
Turmeric contains numerous naturally occurring compounds that have been studied for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, along with vitamins, phenols, and other beneficial plant constituents.
Curcumin and other curcuminoids (active chemical compounds in Turmeric), offer numerous health benefits; however, the bioavailability of the active ingredients in Turmeric is low, meaning that most curcumin that is ingested gets metabolized before it can be absorbed. Black Pepper enhances bioavailability of Turmeric: When Piperine (active ingredient in Black Pepper essential oil) is combined with Turmeric, the bioavailability is dramatically increased (2000%). Thus, when using Turmeric, most of it is unutilized unless supplemented by Black Pepper." - Dr. Axe 2017
