31 Reasons Why You Should Use Turmeric

There are a few grand ingredients that I love and that I must never run out of. Coconut Oil, my essential oils, rose water, and turmeric! If you haven’t used this superfood miracle, I am sure that you have at least heard of it. Turmeric comes from the southeastern region of Asia and India in a beautiful flowering plant of the ginger family. Even though I love a good curry with lot of spice, there are so many other fantastic reasons and ways to incorporate Turmeric into your routine for healthy glowing skin and optimal health. I found about 120,000… but I decided to cut that down to 31 so that you would continue to read my blog. 😏*nervous laugh*
