Curcuma longa L. (Turmeric): A Literature Review on its Phytotherapeutic Effects and Therapeutic Potential
Armando Sérgio R Da Silva and Célia Cristina Carvalho Correia
Curcuma longa L., commonly known as turmeric, is a plant of the Zingiberaceae family widely used in traditional Asian and Indian medicine. Its main bioactive compound, curcumin, is responsible for several pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antitumor properties. This study aims to review recent scientific literature on the phytotherapeutic effects of turmeric, highlighting its mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications. Studies published between 2010 and 2025 were analyzed from the PubMed, Scielo, and ScienceDirect databases. The results indicate that turmeric exhibits high therapeutic potential and a broad spectrum of clinical applications, although challenges related to the bioavailability of curcumin still limit its efficacy in conventional pharmaceutical formulations.
