Abstract | The Curcuma longa, sometimes referred to as "holud" in West Bengal, is a traditional medicinal plant that can be consumed whenever necessary and also in daily cooking. The yellow colored rhizomes are the edible or consumable component. It has been discovered that the plant is a great source of anti-oxidants, vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Today's youth, however, are less fond of consuming raw turmeric than previous generations. The primary goal of the current study is to look into and gather data regarding the use of turmeric by locals in West Bengal, India's Purba Medinipur District. From January 2023 to March 2023, the study was carried out in 8 villages in the Purba Medinipur District. The methods used to acquire data are in-person interviews and surveys using questionnaires. In addition to using it medicinally, it has been discovered that the locals use this plant extensively in many other aspects of their lives. Boils, cuts, minor to major wounds, cognitive difficulties, problems with the nerves, bowel movements, and respiratory distress are all treated with this plant. It can be said that they live their daily lives around this plant. The people of West Bengal's Purba Medinipur District frequently use the turmeric both as paste and dust as traditional medicine. |
