Turmeric Could Be Beneficial Against the Human Papillomavirus

(Newswire.net — August 9, 2017) Orlando, FL — There are natural remedies available nowadays, such as turmeric, that are thought to offer a range of health benefits. This ancient healing spice is even thought to fight various diseases and disorders.

Turmeric is believed to be beneficial against human papillomavirus (HPV). According to statistics, this condition infects 50 percent of the sexually-active population. A majority of infected individuals does not experience symptoms. The good news is that HPV can also disappear quietly.

There are over 100 strains that cause cancer of the anus, penis, or cervical cancer. There are also some HPV types that result in the development of genital warts, which is called papilloma. Genital skin contact can spread this sexually-transmitted infection. It can also be spread by body fluids during oral sex or intercourse.

The risk of HPV is thought to be higher in individuals who have sex early in life or have sex with multiple partners. The main symptom of HPV is genital warts. Healthcare providers often conduct tests like PAP smear for HPV that’s suspected to be cancerous.

According to experts, HPV infections usually go away on their own unless they develop due to cancerous HPV 16 or 18 strains. While there are medications available, there are also natural remedies available such as turmeric.

This ancient, medicinal spice has long been used as a remedy for a range of diseases and disorders. It is made popular by the powerful healing bioactive ingredient it contains called curcumin.

Curcumin contains a variety of therapeutic agents, which include antibiotic, antibacterial, antiseptic, anticarcinogenic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties.

According to studies, there could be a possible link in between the frequent consumption of turmeric and lower rates of certain cancers, such as those affecting the lungs, colon, breasts, and prostate.

Laboratory experiments even find that curcumin has the potential to inhibit the growth of transcription factors, which regulate the genes that play a role in the formation of tumors. Switching off these transcription factors is believed to shut down cancer-causing genes. It could also reduce the risk of certain types of cancers.

Further studies are still underway to investigate the chemopreventive properties of turmeric against other cancers. However today, many people are turning to the use of curcumin supplements.

Supplements are formulated to contain high levels of curcumin. Thus, it is easy to assume more of curcumin’s therapeutic properties can be delivered. To enhance the delivery of curcumin’s therapeutic properties, it is best to combine it with black pepper.

Black pepper is believed to help significantly increase curcumin absorption inside the body.
