Turmeric – The Golden Root with Great Potential

Guest article by Anette Moslehner, Viva la Vida 

This week, we’re excited to feature a special guest on our lifestyle blog: Heike Moslehner 

from Viva la Vida, known for her expertise in holistic health and natural remedies, shares her insights into one of nature’s most powerful plant-based substances: Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric. 

Used in traditional Asian medicine for over 3,000 years, turmeric is now gaining attention in modern science. Research confirms what natural healing has long known: curcumin has a wide range of benefits – from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to neuroprotective 

and immune-boosting properties. It may support the body in fighting inflammation, protecting brain cells, promoting healthy aging, and even alleviating skin issues. 

Curcumin also shows potential as a complementary agent in oncology and in managing 

neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. And the best part: even 

small amounts can be effective – especially when taken with a bit of fat and black pepper 

(which enhances its absorption dramatically). 

As a practical wellness tip, Heike recommends trying “Golden Milk” – a nourishing drink 

made with plant milk, turmeric, a pinch of black pepper, oil, and optional honey or ginger. 

We’d like to thank Anette Moslehner from Viva la Vida for sharing her valuable expertise 

and for helping us bring the power of natural healing to our readers.
