Research shows that turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant properties. Unlike aspirin or ibuprofen, turmeric's curcumin reduces inflammation naturally, without damaging the liver or kidneys.
Many patients turn to non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and analgesics, like Tylenol, for pain relief... but the chronic use of these types of medications is associated with very serious side effects such as cardiovascular problems, gastrointestinal harm and kidney and/or liver damage. Curcumin may be able to provide safe, natural pain relief, provided it is absorbed (more on this later).
India has long revered turmeric as "holy powder," and has used it for centuries to treat wounds, infections, and other health problems. Modern research is now confirming many of its folklore claims, finding an astonishing array of antioxidant, anti-cancer, antibiotic, antiviral, and other properties.
A general immune system booster due to its high antioxidant capacity, turmeric is five to eight times stronger than vitamins C and E, and even strong enough to scavenge the hydroxyl radical, which is considered by some to be the most reactive of all oxidants.
Recent research has discovered that curcumin acts by inserting itself into your cells' membranes where it changes the physical properties of the membrane itself.
