The turmeric leaf is derived from a plant that grows extensively in India, other parts of Southern Asia and Africa. Turmeric is used as a fabric dye and is a common ingredient in Indian cooking. It is also purported to have some medicinal uses, but the University of Maryland Medical Centre urges caution, as there are no conclusive studies regarding its uses.
