Would have rather posted this to a neutropic sub, but we don't have one on the Lemmyverse, but loosely related

There is no scientific evidence that curcumin reduces inflammation, as of 2020.[10][11][45] There is weak evidence that turmeric extracts may be beneficial for relieving symptoms of knee osteoarthritis,[46] as well as for reducing pain and muscle damage following physical exercise

That does work, but until the shoot comes up you don't have a good way to track the progress. Another way is to place the turmeric in a Ziploc bag surrounded wrapped with a moist paper towel or mixed with a bit of soil, and plant it once you can see the shoot and roots developing. I don't remember what I did, but I think that for my current plant I just placed the turmeric root directly into the soil.
