Turmeric Root
Curcuma longa
This Indian culinary herb is also widely celebrated for its medicinal properties. Its strong anti-inflammatory action and its ability to increase peripheral circulation make it a valuable herb for skin disorders, arthritis, chronic pain, and more. It is a warming, bitter, slightly stimulating herb with an affinity for the liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract. It stimulates the production of digestive bile, purifies the blood, and cleanses and protects the liver. It is also antimicrobial, and can be used in combination with probiotics to balance intestinal flora. In Ayurveda it is considered an excellent cleansing herb that clears toxins, warms the blood and balances metabolism. It is also stimulating to the uterus, helping to move stagnation and clear congealed blood.

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
