Curry is a very popular spice that’s found in many Asian dishes but that’s not the curry we’re talking about here. Curry leaf has been in use by practitioners of India’s Ayurveda medicine for a very long time. Only since the 1950’s have western researches begun to understand its healing properties. Curry leaf contains both Vitamin C and beta carotene which are both potent antioxidants. Curry is beneficial in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. It may also help with the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
