Let’s discuss the benefits of these two spices one by one: Curcumin: Aspice known for its medicinal properties has drawn the interest of people in medical and scientific fields.

It has the capacity to modulate the over-aggressive immune response. It can be used as a preventive therapy for Covid-19.

2. 3.Helps Enhancing Mood:“Curcumin seems to benefit mood by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor,” says Dr. Jampolis.

Piper Longum or Black Pepper: The word pepper is derived from the Sanskrit word for long pepper (pippali). Piper longum is also called Javanese, Indian, or Indonesian long pepper.
