Many benefits, yes: Turmeric is among the healthiest of herbs. It & its constituent curcumin is an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, thins blood, supports liver detox, protects against cancer & kills cancer cells, protects against Alzheimer's, lowers cholesterol, protects against heart failure etc. I recommend Meriva, an extract that is very well absorbed.
