ABSTRACT

For their countless therapeutic properties (anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and anti-infective, among others), herbal medicines have shown to be extremely effective in all civilizations. With the development of the current researches on this topic, there are in Cuba great possibilities of obtaining new herb medicines with low potential of adverse reactions. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out aimed at exposing the advances in the pharmacological and toxiciological characterization of the herbal medicine Curcuma longa Linn, so as to complete the available information in the national databases on this respect.
