Besides those above mentioned benefits (refer to the site), I can tell some more benefits which I am getting by regularly using it.

1. Use turmeric paste with a little honey and and apply it on your face and skin. It will brighten your face if you use it regularly.

2. Make a paste of turmeric and neem leaves together and apply it if you have any skin infection. Your infection would vanish after applying 3-4 times.

3. Make a solution with water and turmeric powder and apply it if a corner of your house is attacked by black ants. They will vanish within a minute and not appear for a couple of week.

4. Use the same solution on the trees of your garden to prevent any insect.
