A lot of the recipes in Penang Nyonya food uses turmeric or 'kunyit' in Malay. There was an article in our local daily a few months ago which spoke on the benefits of turmeric. I took this from a Malay site and am translating it into English.
Turmeric reduces gas in your stomach.
It aids in the digestion of food.
It increases red blood cells.
It helps to ease discomfort during menstruation.
When turmeric is mixed into a paste with water, it helps in treating eczema, skin allergies, muscular aches, heat rash.
