Turmeric has been used for millennia in Ayurveda and other traditional medical systems and is considered a stalwart in the treatment of disease.

Turmeric For Arthritis

Turmeric is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that has been very beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism and arthritis—

Osteoarthritis tends to be worse at night, or after a period of rest, whereas Rheumatoid arthritis is worse in the mornings. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. This is the form that usually comes with age, and it most often affects the fingers, knees, and hips.

In one study turmeric extracts, which contains curcumin, appeared to be effective at blocking rheumatoid arthritis in rats by preventing a protein (known as NF-KB) from being activated in the joints.

Turmeric Against Cancer/MS

Researchers have found in the lab that the active ingredient in turmeric, called curcumin, can enhance the cancer-fighting power of treatment with TRAIL, a naturally occurring molecule that helps kill cancer cells. TRAIL stands for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand.

Researchers at the University of Illinois have also found that it helps prevent plaque formation. Moreover, preliminary studies at Vanderbilt University suggest that curcumin may block the progression of multiple sclerosis.

Turmeric Fights Free Radicals

Much of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory potency can be attributed to curcumin which is both an effective COX-2 inhibitor as well as a strong antioxidant.

It is believed that the curcumin content in Turmeric apparently deactivates immune cells that may cause inflammation, without harming other parts of the immune system that are essential in fighting infection.

In fact turmeric is an antioxidant with a similar potency to that of Vitamin C and E. Antioxidants provide cell protection by ‘mopping up’ unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals that can otherwise cause cell damage which is associated with ageing and many diseases of older age.
