Black turmeric is a perennial herb of the ginger family with large leaves marked by a purple band and a rhizome that is bluish-black inside. It is native to northeast and central India and grows in moist forest areas.
Known in Sanskrit as Krishna haridra, the rhizome is used in tribal and folk traditions as a paste for joint comfort and skin care. Because wild stocks have declined, it is now mainly obtained from cultivation.
