Turmeric: The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. This ingredient is so diverse and so deep in its antioxidant power that it’s been shown to protect and heal virtually every organ in the human body. Turmeric is a cornucopia of healing; it holds promise in about every area of disease prevention and healing imaginable. Turmeric protects against cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, eye diseases, depression, skin problems, and more. So amazing is this spice that research at Tufts University showed turmeric may prevent weight gain. Wow!

Curry: This is a standard spice used in India to control diabetes, prevent or treat heart disease, infection, age-related memory loss, and inflammation. Curry has powerful antioxidants called carbazole alkaloids that are abundant only in curry leaf and are responsible for preventing cell damage, which causes disease and premature aging.

Oregano: This herb is your natural protection against infection. The active compounds in oregano are carvacrol and thymol. These compounds have strong antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Oregano helps get rid of intestinal parasites, kills the bacteria that causes food poisoning, heals ulcers, calms intestinal irritation, and aids in digestion. It has a lot of minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Does it get any better?

Parsley: Parsley is the helping hand. It contains an antioxidant called apigenin, unique to parsley, which helps other antioxidants work better. Parsley has so many healing powers; it’s amazing. Parsley is used as a diuretic, can reduce high blood pressure, and is a natural agent to fight cancer, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes. As you can see, parsley is much more than a garnish!

Thyme: If you need an antiseptic, the healing oil in thyme called thymol is what you’re looking for. When applied to skin or the mucous membranes of the mouth, it kills germs. It’s great for calming coughs, helping to prevent teeth decay, and helping to prevent infection.

Peppermint: Peppermint relaxes your intestinal tract, which makes mint wonderful for intestinal discomfort, such as irritable bowel syndrome. It calms indigestion, and, because it’s rich in menthol, it eases nasal congestion and respiratory discomfort to help you breathe easier. It also kills the bacteria that cause tooth decay and plaque buildup.
