1. IntroductionIn Vietnamese traditional medicine, the thermal processing of turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes as herbal materials might involve steaming before drying, or roasting after drying [1,2,3].

(Ironic, that this is the title of my first blog post ever and I'm not even a coder.)I always imagine the world to be somewhat like this. I mean if you really stop and think about it, how mystical is existence? The fact that we even exist is a complete miracle. It is not just limited to natural miracles; take a step back and look at human history. We have managed to harness the tides, fire, the earth itself and even the sky. Humanity has achieved some pretty amazing things.
