Turmeric Could Potentially Be Nature’s Gift Against Chronic Inflammation

(Newswire.net — May 26, 2017) Las Vegas, NV — Turmeric is a well-recognized ancient spice that is thought to offer a range of health benefits and may help to fight a myriad of diseases and disorders. Today, there are many individuals who suffer from inflammation-related conditions that resort to the use of this spice.

Turmeric offers the potential to be nature’s gift against chronic inflammation. Over the years, the spice has been gaining the interest and trust of many people from around the world, from consumers to scientists.

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family and has been used in India since 1900 BC, roughly 4000 years now. It has been used for a variety of ailments affecting the liver and stomach as well as aches, wounds, sprains, and pains.

This ancient spice has also been thought to help fight other conditions such as scabies, eczema, chicken pox, and shingles. Many of its potentially therapeutic effects are thought to come from its bioactive ingredient called curcumin.

Curcumin is a phytochemical that contains a variety of unique substances, some of which are believed to offer anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Curcumin has long been used by individuals who suffer from arthritis. It is believed to be a strong anti-inflammatory, and thus, may have the potential to help fight arthritis pain and inflammation. It may also be an excellent natural alternative for gout, which is a type of arthritis.

In a study in China published in 2009 called “Insights into the Inhibition of Xanthine Oxidase by Curcumin”, it was found that the phytochemical may potentially slow or cease chronic inflammation. It has the potential to reduce the activity of xanthine oxidase, which is an enzyme involved in uric acid production.

Its possible pain relieving-effects are thought to be beneficial as certain pharmaceutical drugs are formulated to reduce uric acid. In another study, it was found that turmeric has helped reduce pain in individuals with osteoarthritis, especially when climbing the stairs or walking.

There are medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which many utilize for arthritis pain and inflammation. However, these medications may lead to side effects. Individuals who frequently use these medications or use them on a long-term basis may be more susceptible to these side effects.

Curcumin has long been thought to be a safer alternative to these pharmaceutical drugs. It doesn’t cause any side effects such as those linked with the use of pain medications, and it also offers a range of potential health benefits.

There are even many individuals who suffer from chronic inflammation and pain that incorporate curcumin in their diet. Turmeric powder can be added in a wide variety of dishes and beverages. However, there are also curcumin supplements available in the market today.
