Turmeric is useful as an anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant. It's a root that is bright orange inside, like a carrot. If you chew it you'll have orange gums. Turmeric is used in curry for its yellow color. I've used it as a soap colorant.

Common dried turmeric from the spice rack is not especially concentrated. You can find fresh turmeric root now and then at ethnic markets, and it will keep in the freezer. You can also buy turmeric pills.

That toddy recipe looks like a good one. Good mix of ingredients.
