There is an effective treatment that’s been in use for thousands of years. It comes from the roots of a tropical plant in the ginger family and is grown in China, Indonesia, and India. The roots look like small sweet potatoes.
The plant is turmeric and the active ingredient with the effective anti-inflammatory properties is curcumin.
It’s used as a spice in many Indian recipes, is the main ingredient in mustard, and gives a natural yellow-orange color to many foods, including cheese and butter.
But its greatest value is what it does for inflammation and pain when used at therapeutic dosages.
As is so common with natural remedies, its benefits have only recently been studied and documented in Western medicine.
Turmeric should be avoided in pregnancy due to the possibility of uterine stimulation and bleeding.
It should be used watchfully in people who are on blood pressure medications, as it could cause a decrease in blood pressure.
It can also cause a decrease in blood sugars in diabetics who are on hypoglycemic medications. Blood glucose levels should be monitored carefully, especially at the beginning of therapy with this herb.
As part of your supplement regimen, start low and gradually increase your dosage to 1,000 to 2,000 mg daily. If you go with pure curcumin instead of the turmeric, an approximate equivalent would be 8,000 mg to 60,000 mg daily.
As you can see, turmeric curcumin has many benefits as anti-inflammatory aids. The adverse effects of the NSAIDS are not an issue at all with turmeric. In fact, the many effects of turmeric and curcumin are healthy and even add to our longevity and sense of well-being.
