In most classic Indian movies, when the hero was hurt or wounded after a brawl with the baddies, he was offered a haldi (turmeric) based home remedy by his weeping maa ji.
Although Bollywood movies are infamous for showing inaccurate medicine (think of Amitabh Bachchan managing to stay alive to kill the villain despite being shot several times), the turmeric remedies are bona fide and grounded in the ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda.
