Turmeric (Haldi), a popular ingredient in Indian curries, may also be helpful in fighting drug-resistant tuberculosis. Researchers said that it has many health benefits as it contains anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and now even anti-cancer properties. The curcumin content present in the turmeric was found effective to remove Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria which causes TB. If this research is found to be successful, it would give us a new vital way to cure TB, which would be less prone to the development of drug resistance.
