NO: Tumeric is just a great flavor and color, the safron of the poor. Less expensive that the spanish safron and found all over the world. Curcuma in latin america. It may have some benefits like many spices, but should be just enjoyed. If it does someting good inside... Fine don't argue. In rice, soups, even desserts like rice pudding. Vegetarians all over the world use it in stews, with lentils, etc.

Tumeric: Tumeric contains curcumin which has anticoagulant effects. See: Anticoagulant activities of curcumin and its derivative. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22531131. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect. It would be best for her to discuss this with her doctor.
