Turmeric Root: A natural powerful anti inflammatory. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or infection, often causing redness, swelling, pain or heat. It may also cause loss of function of the involved tissues. Acute inflammation is typically a protective response to infection or injury and is designed to heal the body and restore normal tissue function. Joint inflammation, including stiffness and swelling are common symptoms of arthritis. If inflammation persists for a prolonged period of time, it becomes chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation can be the result of an infection, autoimmune reaction or allergy.

Studies show that curcumin, a compound in turmeric, can reduce inflammation in the body. It also reduces the effects of oxidation, causes better cell signaling, stabilises blood sugar and fat levels and improves the levels of omega 3 fatty acids (DHA) in the brain. The anti inflammatory and antioxidant effects of curcumin have been associated with improved regulation of blood pressure and decreased risk of several types of cardiovascular disease. Turmeric also detoxifies the body, improvs cognitive function, blood sugar balance and kidney function as well as lessening the degree of severity associated with certain forms of arthritis and some digestive disorders.

Turmeric includes three curcuminoids: curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin and demethoxycurcumin. It also contains the oils tumerone, atlantone and zingiberone. Each of these compounds offer their own unique health benefit can benefit a wide variety of health conditions including: arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), joint pain, stomach pain, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, diarrhoea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gallbladder disorders, high cholesterol, fatigue and a skin condition called lichen planus. It is also beneficial for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, itchy skin and recovery after surgery.
