| New Chapter has been in love with turmeric for decades. We grow it on our biodynamic farm in Costa Rica, which is nestled in the volcanic mountains adjoining the Children's International Rainforest. Turmeric has long been revered as the foundation of an herbal program for health. In India's system of Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric for thousands of years has been recognized as a key balancing and detoxifying herb. In Indonesia's traditional medical system known as Jamu, turmeric is considered the "Queen" of all herbs, and is the featured daily herb for tens of millions of Indonesians. In Japan and China, people embrace turmeric for its powerful yet safe liver detoxification, and there are societies in Japan where turmeric juice is consumed daily. In the western medical and herbal traditions, turmeric is considered by many leading scholars to be the most important healing herb on earth. |
