Turmeric a common household spice, which gives mustard its color has many healing properties. There has been some research reporting that turmeric (in combination with vitamin D) helps fight Alzheimer’s disease and obesity (by suppressing growth of fatty tissue) and is soothing to skin burned by radiation therapy.
Recently there has been reports of turmerics natural antibiotics properties in strenghtening digestion and intestinal flora. And more recenlty reports of turmeric as an alternative medicine for pain caused by inflammation. Here are some other benefits as well.
- Turmerics powerful bright yellow powder has anti-inflammatory components safely reduce the pain and swelling of arthritis,fibromyalgia , carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis and tendonitis.
- Anti-inflammatory benefits also extend to gastrointestinal (GI) problems, such as gastric ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Turmeric’s effectiveness against liver disease is being studied as well.
- It’s many potent antioxidants help squelch unstable oxygen molecules that can otherwise run amok, damaging cells and opening the door to dangerous diseases, such as cancer. Curcumin, an active compound of turmeric, has been shown to modify more than 250 oncogenes and processes that trigger cancer tumorigenesis, proliferation and metastasis.
- Turmeric can help curb excessive immune responses that characterize conditions such as allergies, asthma and possibly even multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Studies suggest a still wider range of healing benefits, such as lowering cholesterol, preventing atherosclerosis and protecting the liver against chemicals and viral damage.
- No significant toxicity has been reported following either acute or chronic administration of turmeric extracts at standard doses. The FDA classified turmeric among substances ‘generally recognized as safe’. Phase I clinical trials have shown that curcumin is safe even at high doses (12 g/day) for 3 months in humans but exhibit poor bioavailability. Major reasons contributing to the low plasma and tissue levels of curcumin appear to be due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination. Several commercially available supplements provide higher doses and bioavailability of purified curcumin.
