Turmeric (Curcuma longa) does not require any introduction for its benefits because it is an extremely renowned spice and cooking material of Indian kitchens. It has a valuable place in Ayurveda for its crude medicinal values. In India, it also has a sacred position in festivals, worships, and wedding ceremonies. For a long time, it is being used as an important ingredient in different Asian dishes and has a significant position in the cooking spices. Except for its valuable uses as a spice, it is known for its role in wound treatment, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, pain relief, anti-cancer, and so on. It is being used for a long time with several expectations of its great health benefits, but there is still no concrete research that proves its heavy potency towards the treatment of any serious disease. Although it is not so potent individually for the treatment of any serious health issues, its supplemental values must be encouraged, and more research is essential to be done on it. This chapter concisely demonstrates the significance of turmeric in the treatment of various health issues and its role in food supplements.
