Turmeric is highly effective in pacifying Kapha dosha, as recommended by Patanjali.

Turmeric is not just limited to the kitchen but is also renowned for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The active compound curcumin is responsible for its skin benefits, as it helps to neutralize free radicals that can cause premature ageing and dullness. Turmeric also plays a crucial role in enhancing collagen production, which is important for maintaining skin elasticity. By incorporating turmeric into your skincare routine, you can achieve a more even skin tone while reducing the appearance of dark spots and enhancing your skin's natural radiance. Its brightening effects make it an excellent choice for those looking to achieve a luminous complexion naturally.
