Turmeric longa (C. longa) or turmeric is a plant with a long history of use in traditional medicine, especially for the treatment of inflammatory conditions with microbial properties. In recent years, many detailed studies (in vito and in vivo tests) along with clinical trials have revealed its very valuable biological activity related to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and preventive properties, which are presented in numerous publications. At the molecular level, curcumin has been found to inhibit cell proliferation, metastasis formation, and apoptosis.
