'Indian Customs' Vs 'Scientific Reason' -2
in The Lounge
Hai Friends...

Here is the second custom....


Custom: Woman are advised to apply turmeric powder paste to their legs. This had been a custom, and now in this fast century also we find ladies applying turmeric powder paste to their legs.

Question: What is the scientific reason behind this???


:) Common Friends... :)
Thanks 'n' Regards,

    That's because turmeric has been known to improve blood circulation, improve complexion and texture of the skin and also by long-term use, remove unwanted fine hairs from arms and legs!!

    Deepti,

    The topic you have started about customs and scientific reasons are good.

    Turmeric can be used to prevent cracks in the feet. Is this the reason,women are applying to their legs.

    It is a natural antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns.

    It Speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling of damaged skin.

    The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. Curcumin harbors antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, stomach-soothing, and liver-and heart-protecting effects.
