Turmeric Could Potentially Fight Various Infections

(Newswire.net — December 15, 2017) Las Vegas, NV — Infections can be treated with various pharmaceutical drugs. There are safer options than these medications, and one is an ancient, medicinal spice.

Turmeric could potentially fight viral, bacterial and fungal infections. This spice contains a phytochemical called curcumin, which contains a variety of healing ingredients.

Curcumin is popularized by its antibacterial, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, antibiotic and antimicrobial properties.

Staph infections, such as MRSA, are resistant to pharmaceutical drugs. This means sufferers won’t be able to get remedied through the use of these medications.

There are more bacterial infections that have become multiple drug resistant (MDR). This is the reason why the healthcare community has been looking for new treatments, which include herbal options.

There are certain healing ingredients in curcumin that are believed to be responsible for the phytochemical’s ability to fight off infections. These are antiviral, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

It has also been believed that turmeric could block MDR-1. This is a gene responsible for the resistance against multiple antimicrobial drugs.

In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is an effective disinfectant and antiseptic solution. There are modern products that contain the antimicrobial properties of turmeric.

This includes antibacterial cloth, food packaging, pesticide sheets and film coatings for medical devices.

Turmeric compounds have been found to fight infections, such as common cold, eye infections, Avian bird flu, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV and Human papilloma virus (HPV).

This spice has been thought not just to stop but also prevent infections caused by insect bites and parasites.

The anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin are thought to be effective against toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and HPV. The anti-inflammatory properties are believed to suppress a potentially fatal response by the immune system, in cases of TSS infections.

According to experts, HPV triggers inflammation, which can result in cancerous changes in cervical cells. This powerful healing phytochemical moderates the body’s immune response to HPV. It also has the potential to reduce the risk of the inflammatory and carcinogenic activity of HPV.

This spice also has immune-boosting effects that can block opportunistic microbes. Individuals with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of developing a serious infection.

It is worth mentioning that individuals with healthy immune systems are less prone to getting ailments from microbes, which normally live on the human skin.

To get the best benefits from using turmeric, consumers may turn to supplementation. Supplements contain high levels of the therapeutic effects of curcumin. This means that they are more therapeutic.
