Turmeric May Be Nature’s Gift to Individuals with Tuberculosis

(Newswire.net — May 24, 2017) Orlando, FL — Turmeric is one of the most popular spices today. This spice is believed to offer a myriad of health benefits, and may help to fight a range of diseases and disorders.

Turmeric may be nature’s gift for individuals with tuberculosis. While this medical condition is usually addressed through the use of certain pharmaceutical drugs, individuals who suffer from it may also take into account the use of this ancient spice.

“Turmeric is popularized by the bioactive ingredient called curcumin it contains,” said Divine Bounty spokesperson, Melissa Scott.

Curcumin has a variety of potentially therapeutic agents and is believed to offer antibacterial, anti-carcinogenic, antibiotic, antiviral, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Clinical research reveals that turmeric, in combination with other herbs and conventional therapy, may be a natural alternative for TB. It may also potentially decrease the risk of side effects that harm the liver and that are caused by certain medications.

According to statistics, one-third of the world’s population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is a bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Infected individuals typically have a latent form of infection with inactive bacteria.

There are risk factors of tuberculosis and one is having a compromised immune system. Bacteria can easily become active when the immune system is weak, and eventually it results into a full-blown disease.

One of the things that people should know about the condition is that it can easily spread. Breathing enough Mycobacterium tuberculosis is enough to get the infection. When tuberculosis sufferers cough, sneeze, or talk, it makes the bacteria airborne and the disease can be easily spread.

Individuals with a compromised immune system should avoid crowded places and places with high infection rates, such as hospitals. Some of the symptoms of this condition are coughing up blood, exhaustion, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, chills, and fever.

According to the results of lab experiments, curcumin may have remarkable antibacterial properties that may be used against tuberculosis. Animal studies also reveal that turmeric compounds demonstrate higher success rates in fighting tuberculosis.

Turmeric has a curcuminoid compound known as desmethoxycurcumin, which have been found to have anti-tubercular activity. This ancient spice has also been believed to reduce the toxic side effects caused by common TB Treatment.

Turmeric can be taken through its powder form or through supplementation. Supplements are widely popular due to the fact that they often contain high levels of curcumin and its potentially therapeutic properties.

There are a variety of curcumin supplement brands available in the market today. The most popular of which contain black pepper extract, which is believed to increase curcumin absorption inside the body.
