(Newswire.net — March 3, 2017) Orlando, FL — Turmeric is an ancient spice that has been utilized for thousands of years. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, but it is gaining the interest of an increasing number of consumers, health enthusiasts, and scientists.
Turmeric is believed to have a potential for clinical medicine. Many consider this spice to be a super food, and it belongs to the ginger family. It has even been used since 1900 BD, around 4000 years now, to help aid liver ailments, stomach problems, sores, sprains, aches, wounds, and pains.
There are many herbs and spices nowadays that are thought to offer a myriad of health benefits, and one is turmeric. This spice is also a popular home alternative for skin conditions, such as scabies, eczema, chicken pox, and shingles.
Many of the potential benefits of turmeric are thought to come from its bioactive ingredient called curcumin. This phytochemical contains a variety of unique ingredients that are believed to offer antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antiseptic, antibacterial, antitumor, and anti-carcinogenic properties. These properties and many others are believed to make turmeric a potential option for a wide variety of diseases and disorders.
There have been quite a number of studies conducted by scientists to explore more of the possible effects of the spice. One is to discover if it has the ability to fight inflammation.
According to a 2009 study in China called “Insights into the Inhibition of Xanthine Oxidase by Curcumin”, curcumin has the potential to inhibit chronic inflammation. Researchers suggest that it may potentially aid gout sufferers due to the possible ability to decrease xanthine oxidase activity. This enzyme is linked with uric acid production. Curcumin is believed to help reduce the pain caused by gout and may have the ability to reduce uric acid as effectively as certain pharmaceutical drugs.
In another study involving 107 individuals with osteoarthritis, it was found that the curcumin-dosed group as well as the group that received a certain pharmaceutical drug, achieved pain relief, especially when climbing the stairs or walking.
One of the most notable qualities of using curcumin as a natural alternative is that it doesn’t cause the side effects that may be linked with the use of certain pharmaceutical drugs.
Curcumin is often used as a safer alternative to pain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), among individuals with arthritis. Curcumin supplements are widely available nowadays, some of the most popular of which contain black pepper extract.
Black pepper is believed to work by increasing curcumin absorption inside the body.
