Curcumin in haldi has anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties. It works excellent to boost immunity, aids digestion, relieves arthritis pain, improves blood circulation and helps you detox.
The active ingredient in black pepper called piperine also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps boost the body's ability to absorb curcumin.
