About Simplisia Turmeric

What is Simplisia Turmeric?

The general meaning of the term “Simplisia” is natural materials, such as plants, animals, or minerals, which have been dried and used as raw materials for traditional or herbal medicines, but have not undergone further processing other than drying.

Simplisia turmeric refers to dried slices of turmeric rhizome (Curcuma longa), prepared as a raw material for herbal medicine, pharmaceutical extracts, or high-quality natural products. Unlike raw turmeric, simplisia is dried and processed under controlled conditions to ensure consistent quality, traceability, and compliance with international pharmacopoeial standards.
