It is use for cooking because of its aroma. Curry leaf is rich in Vitamin A and calcium, it also contains good amounts of Amino acids, it is also good in quick digestion, it also prevents deposition of fat in various parts of the body and good thing is it controls blood sugar levels in a diabetic patient. Curry leaf is good for us because our blood line has diabetic illness.

Hi, We have curry powder, yellow in color used mostly to cook chicken meat, pork, or beef, mostly chicken. I don't have any information about its medical uses other than for seasoning as it is considered one of the food spices like onions or garlic. Garlic is believed to have antibacterial properties and can lower blood pressure like lemon grass, another aromatic herb. There are variations to recipes with curry leaves such as adding coconut milk and red hot peppers, it add more taste to chicken and other meat products.
