As we delve into our Calendula Solution series, let's spotlight a cherished and familiar ingredient: Turmeric. This tropical perennial, belonging to the Zingibercaceae family and similar to ginger, holds a special place in our formulary.

Turmeric is a treasure trove, with up to 7% essential oil composed mainly of the ketone tumerone and vibrant yellow/orange pigments called curcuminoids. Beyond its radiant hue, turmeric is renowned for its potent medicinal properties, boasting various pharmacologically active substances. It is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, beta-carotene, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, boron, calcium, cobalt, copper, manganese, and phosphorus, nourishing the body and mind.

In India, turmeric is a systemic cleanser and a trusted ally in aiding digestion, addressing ailments such as dysentery, fever, infections, jaundice, and liver-related concerns. Across the seas in Indonesia, a refreshing beverage called Jamu blends turmeric, ginger, and tamarind juice. I enjoy the zest of turmeric and ginger infused with citruses and a splash of pineapple. Having extensively explored these vibrant cultures, embracing the wonders of turmeric is a strategy well worth pursuing.

When it comes to skincare, turmeric imparts healing benefits through its antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It safeguards the skin by shielding against free radicals and reducing inflammation. In the case of Calendula Solution, turmeric, rich in beta-carotene, synergizes with calendula's anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing activities. This golden spice stands as a powerful ally against skin inflammation, eruptions, itching, and various skin disorders, displaying an extraordinary ability to tame and soothe inflammation.

Yet, turmeric's effects extend beyond the physical realm. Its psychospiritual and bioenergetic properties stem from one of its primary signatures: its radiant color.

Orange, as a hue, embodies the vital energy bestowed upon us by sunlight, infusing radiance and revitalizing the aura. This solar energy harmonizes with the spleen and kidneys, acting as a potent tonic that regulates and nourishes our vital life force, or chi. Invigorating the immune system and activating the lymphatic pathways, orange fosters a sense of well-being and sexual vitality. Its positive influence reverberates through the movement of vital bodily fluids, including blood and lymph, making it a key ally in treating venous debility and optimizing digestion and assimilation processes.

As the vibrant fusion of red and yellow, orange bridges the physical and mental realms, intertwining red's strength and dynamism with yellow's intellectual prowess. Thus, orange serves as a conduit, allowing us to stay connected with our bodies while supporting the practical sequencing of thoughts into actions. Mentally, orange nurtures visualization facilitates the assimilation of ideas, and fuels practical and creative expression. Emotionally, it liberates, instilling self-confidence, optimism, positive thinking, and the will to succeed. Orange offers solace from depression, creative stagnation, emotional repression (particularly tied to past relationships), and limited self-esteem.
