20 Health Benefits of Turmeric

I used it as a paste on an infected insect bite and it cleared it up in three days.

Thanks. And I will read your blog :-)

I use it as a substitute for saffron, great for Paella's- pickled cabbage- risotto- onion in mustard- etc..
I buy it fresh and fry it in oil together with ginger-onion and garlic a great start for a great dish.

Turmeric has been included as one of the primary ingredients in a new nutritional drink called Zrii. This is a great health product... plus you can get rewarded for spreading the news.
Email me at ZriiHealth4Life@gmail.com and I will get you the info you need. The product just launched in October 2007 - don't miss the opportunity...

I was diagnosed with a pretty severe inflammatory disease of the joints a year ago and was heavily medicated on various high-priced drugs that didn't help at all. By a stroke of luck I found turmeric root in my local supermarket and started chewing the root in one-inch pieces every day. Every single symptom I had simply VANISHED within two days. I keep eating it every day and haven't had any problems since, except for when I stop taking it. Then the symptoms come back within a few days. I try to make everyone I know aware of the health benefits of this amazing root.

I had a cyst on my wrist that popped out when I bent it and it hurt and you could see it as a lump. I started taking turmeric capsules for a week and it went away and has not come back a year later. What a preventative and cure for things like this.
I call it one of my quick fixes.
PS: Cordyceps is another.It's an ancient chinese longevity herb I heard about. I had vertigo one time so bad that I was falling over at work like a drunk and my vision was dissolving with squiggly lines. This stuff is scary.
I found cordyceps is an adaptogen (finds out what is wrong in your body and corrects it), that simple! and
I got rid of those problems in 1 day with 2 cordyceps tablets. If you want to buy it just punch cordyceps in a search engine and find a supplier.Hope some needy person reads these comments.

I have read enough about this root to know about its amazing effects on health. Dr. Mehmet Oz includes turmeric and cinnamon on his list of daily supplements (You Staying Young), I am creating a line of supplements that includes a concentrated of the active ingredient curcumin polhyphenol contained in turmeric, if you have use turmeric as a medicine please write to me and tell me your story velajorge@hotmail.com

I HAVE BEEN USING TURMERIC NOW FOR A MONTH. TAKING 2 PILLS 2X A DAY WITH A MEAL I AM SO HAPPY WITH WHAT TURMERIC AS DONE FOR MY PSORIASIS. AND AGE SPOTS MY SKIN FEELS SOFTER IT EVEN HELPED WITH POISON IVY REALLY CLEARS THE SKIN. AND ON TOP OF THAT I FEEL WONDERFUL. I HAVE TOLD EVERY ONE ABOUT THIS AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME HOW GREAT THEY FEEL.

Here's some more health research http://andrewwilmot.blogspot.com/search/label/curcumin ... best wishes, Andrew

I just watched a 2 minute video of a research lab ("that in MICE") showed the beneficial effects of tumeric (curcuma, curcumin) of 2 groups of mice overfed and obese. The control group without were obese and developed diabetes. The test group showed diabetes and the symptoms were diminished and eliminated by the use of tumeric (curcuma, curcumin). No trials yet on humans.

I'm 78--still work as a nurse which is a lot of walking.I have been taking Turmeric for 3 years---have NO PAIN- sleep like a baby--before that my arthritis made me stiff-I put a little in my pepper shaker besides the capsules-add it to most of my recipes. I have had people ask me --how do you do it? They guess my age as 60--Bonnie RN

How much should one consume daily if you are buying it in raw powder form as opposed to capsule form???
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

How long should I put tumeric paste on my scalp for help of my vertigo?

thanks!

1 tsp turmeric daily. If you are using it for inflammatory bowel issues, take as is and much of it will stay in your bowel. If you want better absorption into your body, add 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Why do we always say 'consult with your doctor first'? Doctors do not study nutrition. They only study symptoms and drugs. If anything we should be saying 'consult with your naturopath' or 'your health professional' instead of pandering to the wealthy medical profession that only promotes the latest drugs for the pharmaceutical giants. Many of those new drugs have not even been tested on humans yet, and if they have, it's only short term.

how much to take in powder form for joint pain or cancer prevention?

Thanks for advice. it will really helpful people.by http://walkingbenefits.blogspot.com/

If you need good quality turmeric powder, please email me; teekay4334@gmail.com

takes away eye infection if used in compress

Do not apply it to the scalp!!!
One of it's uses is to reduce hairgrowth, it's known as a good hair inhibitor if used daily on your face, arms and legs. That's why not a good idea to apply on the scalp.

I use it on my face, it looks a little yellow but clears out acne and makes the skin very soft and clear. You can mix it with yoghurt if you have dry skin like I do.

I'm 42,i use tumeric,because i have joint pain,seems to help me,i fill better.I really started to change my eating habits,taking supplements ,when i lost my mom to a stroke I also use a product called genesis,which has resveratrol,some people have gotten really excellent health benefits.

health and happiness to all

In India Turmeric which is known as Haldi is used as the main ingredient in cooking, never used as dye. If there is a strain of turmeric on your cloth, then just hang the cloth on sunlight. It will go away. I doubt it can ever be used as dye. Apart from that we use it all over our body before taking bath. As Lisa and Ron has mentioned, you can apply the paste on your face, and then let it dry for sometime, and then rub them a little..it will work as facial scrub...Anytime you can drink milk with pinch of Haldi in it. Its very very beneficial. In India,we might cook everything without oil, but without Haldi, life will stop.

I use a GC capsule that contains
aged garlic,turmeric,milk thistle,artichoke powder,and Yucca stalk for uric acid control.

GC is much better than any prescription drug for Gout control however most MD's do not prescribe it or even know about it.

I think that the side effects of this capsule promote health rather than damage it as the prescription drugs.

Just put half a teaspoon powder turmeric with some chili powder, fried onion and ginger, makes for a great rice recipe!!

This is where I found it...!! Fab food....

I USED TURMERIC POWER FOR MY THROAT. MY UVULA HAD DROPPED AND MY THROAT WAS VERRRRRRY SORE. I PUT SOME IN WATER AND ATE SOME IN 24 HRS I WAS FEELING BETTER

In India, Turmeric is not (and never been) used as a dye... It has been used for its medicinal values for ages and is metioned in Ayurveda(~5000 years or more)...

Turmeric is used in almost all Indian recipes... I apply turmeric powder topically (raw powder without making a paste) on fresh open wounds (Will heal small cuts / bruises almost instantly - I apply it immediately after I start to bleed after a cut)... Indian Women apply turmeric paste all over the body for removing unwanted hairs and preventing/curing pimples and scars... Also, it enhances beauty... Whenever I have cold / sore throat, a hot drink with Milk, Turmeric and freshly powdered Black Pepper (powdered using /in a small Iron container) gives immediate relief and gradually cures it... Also, a drink which is made from mixing crushed Ginger, Lemon, Honey and small quantities of turmeric in hot water would be taken in regular intervals in case of severe cold/sore throat... This drink tastes good too and I take it often - even if I am perfectly healthy - it is absolutely safe and in fact highly beneficial...

Apart from all these, turmeric is also used as Short term preservative....

my parents and my relatives use turmeric as a tea,isn't good for their health?

I take turmeric... its antioxidant benefits are compounded when you take it with green tea, or EGCG caplets... you can even sprinkle some in your green tea, it actually tastes pretty good. Remember that our bodies heal themselves, turmeric may help... but its silly to say things like i got the flu and took turmeric and it cleared it up in less than a week (usually it goes away by itself in this time) haha... happy Turmeric eating all

I had a stye on my eye, when I looked it up I found turmeric it sayd it also works for high coloesterol. Is this true?

I sprinkle a lot on my popcorn and then eat my popcorn with a spoon so my fingers don't get yellow!! Just a little salt and lots of turmeric - nothing else.Popcorn is popped inolive oil. Sooooo gooood!

I have been taking two capsules a day for a few months now and have noticed less inflammation and pain. After changing my diet and taking turmeric, I don't get sick anymore. I will try turmeric powder on wounds and infections as you suggested. Since turmeric is anti-bacterial, does it kill internal parasites too?

Being from India in origin, I have eaten turmeric all my life since birth. Turmeric is a big part of indian cooking. I have no complaints at all against turmeric.

Turmeric is one of the primary ingredients in nutmeric a nut based spread containing turmeric with black pepper and almonds and garlic. This product is very tasty and extremely healthy and delivers about 700 mg of turmeric per serving.

my mother plants it in the garden and a fresh harvest is grated and then chuck into d blender with ripe banana and ripe tomatoes so fantastic my uncle with prostate cancer ongoing was healed for good in few months time drinking this healing smoothie only

Turmeric has been great for pain and my general health. I would like to know that if you have pale skin and you apply the turmeric as a paste, does it stain your skin? My skin is quite dry.

Can turmeric be grown in Ontario, Canada? If so, where to get seeds?

Message to poori – where to get a nutmeric? Or can you please, provide a recipe?

I use Turmeric in everything I can think of - scrambled eggs, casseroles, crab cakes, soups, etc. I make homemade popcorn in a cast iron pot and put the turmeric in the oil with the corn kernels and then pop. It turns the popcorn into a beautiful yellow color almost like movie theatre popcorn, but healthier. Remember though, if you want it to be absorbed more readily into your body you must combine it with a little oil and black pepper.

I started using turmeric w/green tea for uveitis today. My eye looked and felt about 60% - 80% better after the first use ( less than a teaspoon). I didn't know about the antidepressive benefits, but noticed a difference for the better in my moods and anxiety levels today. I almost always have a headache/pressure, but that was not as bad today, either. Tha's surprising, because I am sensitive to pressure change this time of year. I also have IBS and other inflammatory problems, so I hope to start seeing some benefits for that soon, according to some things I've read recently. After today, I am going to keep this in my daily diet. I love the taste, & it's so easy to add it to food. Cow's milk is an inflammatory food for me - would it be good in rice milk? I'll have to check that out for myself soon. Thanx to everyone that posted here.

The article begins with a patently ludicrous reason to add turmeric to one's food. Why would anyone eat EAT a skin disinfectant?

The article fails to divulge that practically all scientific tests have been on animals. There are few clinical trials showing that turmeric or its constituents actually work on humans and whose therapeutic dosage is safe for humans. It does not mention how good the studies have been--whether they are methodologically sound, how large the trial sizes have been, whether there have been replications by independent groups, whether the studies have been peer reviewed, etc.

Saying that the Chinese have been using it for a gazillion years for whatever ailment does not tell us anything about turmeric's efficacy. Societies around the world have been using poultices, infusions, barks, herbs, chants, dances, etc for millennia and most of them are merely placebos.

The article is biased or incomplete. It fails to mention that one study did not find any support for turmeric being effective against Alzheimer's (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18204357?dopt=Citation). It also fails to mention that turmeric may adversely interact with certain chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer treatment (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12097302?dopt=Citation)

The article does not mention what the lower limit of turmeric intake is for it to be effective against any condition. Would "add[ing] a pinch of it to egg salad" everyday have any therapeutic effect at all? How much do we need to ingest per body weight per day before it actually has any health benefit? How much before it has adverse effects? We are simply not told.

Nice job faulting the article, but I guess you are mistaking this article with a medical study excerpt. Everything this article claims is based on some evidence, there are always exceptions. A normal pharmaceutical medicine such as Orlistat can be facing the same critcisms you mentioned here, with counter claiming studies, conflicting research.

Now take your critical analytical outlook to Wikipedia rather than to abuse an article which is meant to hold opinion by all means.

If you can find the natural root at your local market BUY IT!!

I had a bad sinus infection that had been with me for weeks and nothing seemed to help. A friend turned me on to this Tumeric smoothie.

aprox. 2, 2" pieces (yellow Tumeric)
1 lemon
1 tablespoon honey
Cayanne pepper
optional (banana)
mix with water.

Completely cured my infection within 3 days. I use it now whenever my sinus's act up. Always clears the problems right away. My friends use it for colds etc... their always amazed. I can't speak for the powder...I use the natural root

Turmeric is grown locally,as of now it turned to powder form and capsule.i take 2 capsules everyday to ward off my ulcerative colitis.i was also diagnosed with anal fistula.i am also drinking horse raddish tea(dried leavesder horse raddish) and guava leaves tea.
Horse raddish leaves has more vitamin c contains than than of any citrus fruits.just search horse raddish or Malunggay on Google.

I did use Turmeric powder as a daily drink over 6 years now.

My sea food allergic was gone, my arthritis pain is reduced to almost no pain at all, no skin spots at all ( I'm 65 year-old.

Turmeric, is truly a wonder herb. I have had so much success with incorporating this spice to my daily routine to fight inflammation. As i am a runner..

To your health - The Guru of Weight Loss

to et,please et,the number 3 killer in the us is medical drs.,there is third world country that have a higher life expectancy then us in the us.stop scaring people,just like vitamin c doesnt cure scurvy,lol,anyway how much is big pharma paying you to tarnish our image, dr. jones homeopathic medicine.

by the way,every time i get bronchitis,turmeric has alway's cured it.great decongestant,and that's a fact et.there goes 1 human study,lol.

KS: Your tu quoque argument is a logical fallacy: If as you claim Orlistat has the same problems then you are implying and admitting that the turmeric studies are also saddled with problems. Pot calling the kettle black.

You say everything in the article is based on evidence. Show us then. First off, show us that it's good to eat turmeric because it is a (good) disinfectant. Prove to us that this reasoning is sound.

Dr. Jones: Have you ever studied science-based medicine? Anecdotes are never taken as evidence. If we did then those who took arsenic and claimed to have felt better would be evidence that arsenic is therapeutic (http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/spotquack.html)

By the way homeopathy--if we're talking of 30C dilutions--is complete, unadulterated crap. The principle of infinitesimals completely contradicts what we know about dosage-potency of substances and the best clinical trials show that it simply is no more effective than placebos

I wonder why et is commenting on this site anyway? if you're so against natural cures and preventative nutrition, then how did you even find this article?

And personally.. I think if your condition NEEDS medicine, you should absolutely take it. I don't think that anyone here would disagree... but if my skin issue can be treated with turmeric instead of putting an Rx worth of chemicals in my body... i think i'd opt for that. ***THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS AN ANECDOTE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS MEDICAL ADVICE*** I had been having a nagging pain in both of my hips and down the back of my leg for about 18 months. I was taking around 8 advil a day to manage the pain. I came across an article that suggested a daily intake of turmeric and cayenne pepper to reduce inflamation and pain. I stopped taking advil and starting following the advice of the article and my pain is no longer there. It doesn't matter to us whether or not YOU believe it... we all have experienced it and know for ourselves. And truly..even if you continue to take medicine for every symptom- it's always good to spice up your food a little anyhow! :) So...you go ahead and take medicine for every single symptom and we'll try to source other cures and preventions :)

Russell, I am not against any cure. If in vitro studies, animal studies, and multiple randomized clinical trials (RCT) show that X has therapeutic properties then X is curative. Why do you distinguish between "natural" and ???. Medicine is medicine, regardless.

Someone forwarded me this webpage. I wouldn't have known of this site nor would I have commented otherwise. I'm into antiquackery. I'm into evidence-based medicine. I'm into critical thinking. This article simply does not provide enough unbiased information nor does it make good arguments. Read my analysis. You and the others have yet to tell and show me that the points I've raised are irrelevant, fallacious, or incorrect. Why are you so against someone raising awareness?

Most of the drugs made today are based on the chemical composition of natural herbs, trees, rocks, marine algae, whatever. I believe that for every existing illness there is a natural cure for it!! We just need to find it. God made nature to take care of nature. We are all interraleted(sp). Our bodies are composed of minerals, so why not supplement its deficiencies with natural items found in HIS creation?? Instead we bombard our bodies with all kinds of preservatives, junk foods and prescribed drugs which adversely affect other organs of our bodies. If people attest to its positive properties, why not give it a try??
My latest experience with a drug was Pristiq (antidepressant) have you seen its side effects??? And I had the worse of them. I rather live with my depression.
Yes, there have been and there is and there will be a lot of unscrupulous people that would take advatage of someone's misery to make money, but so are the pharmaceutical companies. All I would say, is research everything, use common sense and be cautious.

Luv your uses guys. et take a hike you are making me sick.
Like (44.oxanacanda,) 39.poori
were do you get NUTMERIC from.
Best wishes to all.

I was on the diet page of cidpusa org and came across turmeric and have used it for complete recovery from Cancer. Used this over a year they did guide me

Ok, I have just googled NUTMERIC, sounds wonderful available through www.spreadhealthfoods.com/ but don't know if available down here in Australia.

common sense, side effects are expected with treatments that actually work. A rule of thumb is: the more potent the drug the greater/more side effects you can expect. Something that has no potency almost certainly will have no side effect.

I don't understand why there is such a worship of "natural." Hemlock, ricin, arsenic, etc. are natural too. Moreover, what about standardization of the preparations? There have been studies which found that St John's Wort being sold may differ by a factor of ten in their active ingredients. How do you know you're having enough of the active ingredient? How do you know you've overdosed? How do you know the amount of active ingred in the next bottle or pill you're buying?

Given an X, if it's proved by unbiased, objective, blinded, controlled, replicated tests that it is effective against condition Y, then it doesn't matter whether X is "natural" or whatever (unnatural??).

I am underscoring the need for objective *evidence.* Tradition, anecdotes, subjective inclinations, --these don't count.

When I don't use my my daily two teaspoons of Turmeric, my pain and inflammation in my shoulders comes back due to bursitis. I am using it for 10 years already and don't want to live without it.
Besides that it boosts my immune system.

After reading all the articles on whether or not Turmeric works or not, I have decided to do my own study and simply try it. I have arthritis in my spine which makes life miserable at times. Celebrex helps but we know the possible side effects of too much of this. So, a friend sent me three bottles and said try it. I will report my results when I am finished.

Et,

I do agree about the further research needed to gain a deeper understanding of how it works. I will also add that just because we don't fully understand how it works, it's more important to know that it works. This concept is a little bit for a scientist to accept as the concept of objectivity is drilled pretty deep right from the get go. Let's not forget the sponsors of so called research, lobbyists with $, feeding governments and so called educational and research centers. Follow the money trail and you may come across your own double blind placebo surprise. Differentiate medicine as a science from the medical/pharma industry; it was sold a long time ago to people with MBAs, not PhDs and MDs. The scientists are left to be string puppets without realizing who's actually controlling things. Hippocrates and Ayuryeda did work hand in hand until it was realized that creating research that said X is great, control it's distribution network hence price control has a better financial benefit, not so much a therapeutic one. Keep drinking the Koolaid, read the skewed results and believe the so called research, it's more painless. Counter this by creating an independent study that compares conventional treatments with something like turmeric; maybe different bacteria or cancer cells with controlled quantities of various agents to see the effect of each with respect to time, concentration, environmental factors, etc. Then post the results here, send them somewhere else and risk your credibilty/career. A true scientist works for the truth and people, not big $. Good luck.

PS - Turmeric will surprise you a bit.

Et,

forgot one more thing...they can't get the patent for turmeric and then control it as a chemical/medical agent, therefore need to counter it's success with propaganda disguised as objective research and the other people involved with some kind of perks to keep the chain going. Keep in mind the people here don't have much to benefit from if you use something like turmeric but the medical/pharma industry has a lot to lose. You think they haven't cured cancer? How else to get all the research $ and sell the rx to go with it? This natural item will be considered uncontrolled until it's gene is slighly genetically altered enough to allow a patent, then control that supply. Get your untainted uncontrolled turmeric while u still can :)

Et,

Something for you to feast on while you do your own independent research:

Eating turmeric powder for the past one month lossen my weight by almost 8 pounds and it flaten my stomach....

I was reading about benefits of tumeric. I also read everyone's comment, but no one has mentioned how much tumeric powder to take everyday.

I was reading about benefits of tumeric. I also read everyone's comment, but no one has mentioned how much tumeric powder to take everyday.

Some interesting debate going on here, along with some good points. My two cents: I've had very good results with other select health supplements, and no, that has not been proven in a lab. And while I agree that "anecdotal evidence" has no place in the lab (except when forming your hypotheses, maybe), in the legal system, people are routinely incarcerated based (sometimes solely) upon little more than the testimony and whatnot of other individuals. If you really want to utilize some good "critical thinking," take into account all the information you can gather, anecdotal or otherwise, form what's hopefully a good hypothesis, then make your decision from there (and, yes, do be wary of the aforementioned "quackery"). Is the ultimate desision "guaranteed" to be the right one? Nope. But hopefully, with a little luck and cautiously optimistic critical decision-making, maybe it'll be close, at the very least. (Incidentally, as I seem to recall, isn't experimentation an important part of the whole scientific process? Just a thought.) And as for this self-proclaimed "debunker" obsession that some people seem to be so preoccupied with, maybe many years of intense scientific research will one day help to fully explain that to us, as well, though personally I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime, if you do decide as I have to try it (the turmeric, not the debunking), proceed with caution, and best of luck.

Having read each and very one of the previous comments I would like to put in my ten cents worth. I have had far more success with so-called "natural" remedies than with any pharmaceutical and with absolutely no adverse side effects. I was diagnosed with COPD, heart condition, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. All these are on record with my doctor and the hospital. Also various other things wrong with the endocrine and nervous system. I have been my own guinea pig, done my own research and taken my own medicine that I had purchased from different sources. I no longer have osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis, and the evidence of that is sitting in my doctors records. He can no longer "see right through my bones". I will go and see a Naturopath when I need to. One thing I notice is that non of you have mentioned the power of prayer and as some of you seem to need absolute proof of benefit then let us look at that. It has been proven by scientific means that food and water change their chemical profile from unhealthy to healthy when a blessing has been used. I admire you all for going in a different direction. It really is difficult to step outside the mainstream and go your own way. As to the turmeric, take it to the bowe l like Vitamin C. Back off it upsets you.

Gloria, if you go to www.google.com and type-in "alzheimers turmeric", there looks to be a lot of info out there regarding the relationship between the two (alzheimer's and turmeric). At the very least, I'm guessing that experimenting with some good-quality turmeric supplements wouldn't hurt, and might just prove to be a help, though I'd read up on the many different related sites first, then go from there. Best of luck!

I don't know if anyone reading this or posting is a scientist, but I think we are all submitting our personal experiences. In medical terms, that could be an individual case report. The accumulation of evidence in Individual case safety reports have put the brakes on pharmaceuticals such as Celebrex that found dangers that didn't come out in clinical trials.

Certainly more people in the world have and will consume turmeric than celebrex, and they will consume more turmeric in their food -- on an ongoing basis.

I don't see anything wrong with people exploring how a food could possibly be a medicine. Everyone is different -- everyone has their own truth(s) that may not be the same as the next person due to environment, genetics, occupation, age, lifestyle that make up our personal histories.

et --
you raise a good point about the need for standardized extracts for various compounds so that we can make useful comparisons. I know of a naturopath who says of St. John's Wort, that there are many different species in the Hypericum genus growing in her yard-- some of which she knows are more potent than others. She wonders whether the people who sell are even using the right part of the plant -- leaf, root, stem?

In the largely unregulated sphere of medical supplements, more attention should be paid to the preparation and consistency of what we use. It's often up to the consumer or motivated health practitioners to find the answers.

Do you think that turmeric has these issues, too? Or is it more likely to be consistently prepared given that it is a food -- and foods are more strictly regulated?

Dear ET,

Currently Turmeric is being researched at M.D. Anderson for its cancer curing abilities.

Smooches,
Steph

Nice list of benefits that we can get from Turmeric. Did you know that Turmeric is regarded as a “skin food” in the Indian culture.

Well, for the Doctor who does not believe that Turmeric has many health benefits;I am a 63 yr old lady who has had a very bad case of Rosacia. I have had a very red face, some red viens showing, the papsules on my face and even had a small growth on my nose. I tried Metrogel,still needed more help but couldn't afford treatment of other kinds, as I do not have insurance. I tries Turmeric, 1 tsp a day, sometimes in warm milk sometimes in hot water with lemon and Stevia. I noticed results in just a few days. In just a few weeks even more and now just a few months, 4 I think, you would never know that I have Rosacia at all.
I have been told 3 times this week that I have pretty skin. I never ever expected to hear such a compliment. The small growth on my nose is not red anymore and is not usually even noticed. Don't tell me that Turmeric does not work. I suffered for years with this disease before finding something that would work that I could actually afford.
Turmeric is a great health benefit and will treat many kinds of health problems but it is especially great for skin problems.

I'm an ultra-runner and my right knee was nearly crippled with inflamation. Tired of poisoning myself with Ibuprofen, I finally gave turmeric a try. After a about a week, I was running again with mild pain, and after a solid month of 300 MG capsules, three times per day, the pain is mostly gone, and I'm running my high miles again. A noticeable side effect is that I feel my mood has improved.

I just started taking turmeric, feeding it to DH too, I had already learned about the cancer cure/preventative part, I am happy to hear all of the other things it does too, especially the liver detox.

DH takes lots of OTC pain killers and worries about his liver, with the double whammy of turmeric being anti-inflammatory AND liver detox, I hope to get him off the painkillers and help heal any damage that might have been done to his liver to date.

Article on Turmeric

The best ever!!

I don't know for sure if it's true, but a guest on Art Bell's radio show said that big pharma lobbied the EPA hard to regulate turmeric so that drug companies/pharmacies could capitalize on it. The EPA refused due to the length of time it was used in India. Interesting, no?

is it OK to take Turmeric if you do not have a gallbladder anymore? I read that it is not recommended if you have gallstones or bile duct obstruction. But what if your gallbladder has been removed (because of gallstones or bile duct obstruction?

Turmeric is truly a wonder healer. I have been using it for 6 years - no sickness - no hip pains - no stomach pain - its un - real. I take 2- 300 mg pills a day as do all of my family - i'm 83 years old and feel like 50. I recommend it to everyone- you will live a lot longer and sickness free using it.

If you think the EPA or the FDA has your best intrest at heart... Well, guess what, there's no Santa either.....Zocor almost killed me just to lower my cholesteral a few points! That's just one instance of prescription drugs that are being heaped on the public by Big Pharma with the FDA looking the other way....

I have contracted Chicken pox, and could not sleep at all because of the burning feeling on my skin, scalp.

An Indian lady told my wife I should soak in Tumeric, I did this and found instant relief.
Slept like a baby.

I guess if you have found something natural working for you, its worth trying again.
Except for yellow skin today I feel much better.

Already had a teaspoon
in milk today.

The meds they gave me don't work at all.

Looks like the British are wiser than us Americans.

I made the decision to be in control of mine and my family's health 5 years ago by using natural wellness products to stay healthy. My family and I, we're extremely happy with this decision. We have not been ill in the past 5 years. Not even seasonal cold or flu even though our kids are in grade school. I got rid of my severe allergy of 8 years. Thank you, God! We only come in to see our family doctor once a year for the yearly exam.

Be strong! Don't allow pharmaceutical companies to be in control of your health! For over 5 years now, they have been putting out at least 1.2 Trillion dollars per year to train new and existing doctors to treat patients' symptom rather than to cure illnesses in order to secure their revenues each and every single quarter! Many doctors know this is unethical and they don't like it but their hands are tied.

Hopefully President Obama and his team will clean up this mess with the health care reform!

In the mean time, take charge of your health with natural wellness products! You will be glad you did!

Good health to everyone!

Dan F, agreed. I meant to say FDA. The guy who was talking about turmeric on the radio also said it's the only good thing the FDA ever did that he knows of! Another interesting article:

http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1910028,00.html

Here in Bali or Indonesia turmeric is a very common root used for natural health boosting drinks and turmeric has been used for as long as anyone can remember. My wife's grand mother and grand grand mother all used turmeric in their food and Bali with it's famous spice mixes are usually accompanied with turmeric. Ask anyone young as old and they will state the benefits of eating or drinking turmeric. None has ever said they had side-effects or any downsides to it. This is a remedy that has gone from generation to generation. There are many 'treasures' out there which has been proved over and over throughout the generations that it is beneficial to our health. That's a pretty good record no pharmaceutical company every will be able to copy.

As for the science of how turmeric works or if there are any diverse side-effects, well, let the scientists and pharmaceutical companies work that out. I put my faith in our parents, grandparents and grand grandparents who are all living proof of the benefits.

As for the drink, i extract about 3 dl of pure turmeric juice, mix it with 1 liter of water, press one small lime, put in a few tablespoons of honey. Put it in the fridge or drink straight away (always recommended not to drink cold beverages though).

As for comparing turmeric to arsenic or other natural poisons goes against the human sense of what's good and what's not. If turmeric would have diverse side-effects or be more dangerous than beneficial i'm certain this is something people would've figured out ages ago. Instead, the reality is that turmeric has helped us and keeps doing so.

And NO "Et"

"A rule of thumb is: the more potent the drug the greater/more side effects you can expect. Something that has no potency almost certainly will have no side effect."

.. this is certainly not always the case or for that matter a good rule of thumb.

I have read with great interest all of the comments. I am 41, diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago. Has anyone taken turmeric as an alternative to tamoxifen? I'm very hesitant about taking the tamoxifen...side effects sound awful, but turmeric sounds like a healthy alternative. Any thoughts/experiences would be appreciated. Thank you!

My doctor advised me to take Turmeric to help lower my cholesterol. I have had some bad side effects from statins and he wants me to try it AND vit D for a couple of months. I have read with interest all of the comments and I'm hoping for great things.

Anyone know a source for fresh roots in the US? I want to try growing it.

Now I've more reasons to eat Indian food ;)

When I was a young woman living in Kolkata, my cousin (sister) and I would make a paste of red lentils, orange peel, raw TURMERIC root and coconut oil and apply this every day instead of soap. Have known about a pinch of pure unadulterated turmeric in warm milk since childhood in India. Have just got back from there with a few bags of it.
LOWERING CHOLESTEROL -- I tested the following: grate ginger root (heaped teaspoon full) and put in cup and pour freshly boiled water to the top. Drink this and chew the ginger in the cup too. I told my doctor I was testing this as someone I know had lowered their cholesterol to a manageable level doing this and she'd heard from a friend who had also had the same result. So my GP (lovely lady doctor - this is in London UK, by the way) agreed to take a test for me after the trial period of 3 months. So though my cholesterol was high, in order to test the ginger tea remedy I continued having eggs chocolate wine cheese etc. while I had the two cups of ginger tea a day more or less regularly for three months. After which, i had the cholesterol test as agreed with my doctor. We found my cholesterol levels both good and bad cholesterol had dipped - there was a reduction of just over one point. So the conclusion we reached was I could carry on with the ginger tea and would get an even better result if I cut out or cut down on the chocolate etc. Apparently adding some lemon juice to the ginger also helps further and do chew the grated ginger in the cup as well.

tell me more useful herbs

plzzzzzz tell me good herbul treatment for infertility.

I take Turmeric after going to the gym.

It tastes horrible, however this also makes it an appetite suppressant.

At least it gives me this.

Also taking too much may colour your urine and stools and cause excessive bleeding.

Remember back in the day turmeric was used to produce the drug Wafarin, which causes your blood to thin.
Wafarin was also used as Rat poison.

So be careful.

Here is a report of a scientific study to show that turmeric reversed the effects of a heart attack on mice.

Super Spice Secrets: Can This Miracle Spice Stop Cancer, Alzheimer's and Arthritis?

By Dr. Mercola

For more than 5,000 years, turmeric has been an important part of Eastern cultural traditions, including traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. Valued for its medicinal properties and warm, peppery flavor, this yellow-orange spice has more recently earned a name for itself in Western medicine as well.

Turmeric comes from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, which is native to Indonesia and southern India, and is widely used as an ingredient in curry dishes and yellow mustard. As research into this powerful spice has increased, it has emerged as one of nature’s most powerful potential healers.

Said Dr. David Frawely, founder and director of the American Institute for Vedic Studies in Santa Fe, New Mexico:

“If I had only one single herb to depend upon for all possible health and dietary needs, I would without much hesitation choose the Indian spice Turmeric. There is little it cannot do in the realm of healing and much that no other herb is able to accomplish.

Turmeric has a broad spectrum of actions, mild but certain effects, and is beneficial for long term and daily usage. Though it is a common spice, few people, including herbalists know of its great value and are using it to the extent possible. It is an herb that one should get to know and live with.”

Turmeric’s Beneficial Effects in a Nutshell

Strengthens and improves digestion

Reduces gas and bloating
Assists in the digestion of protein and with rice and bean dishes
Improves your body's ability to digest fats
Promotes proper metabolism, correcting both excesses and deficiencies
Maintains and improves intestinal flora
Improves elimination of wastes and toxins

Supports healthy liver function and detox

Turmeric helps increase bile flow making it a liver cleanser that can rejuvenate your liver cells and recharge their capability to break down toxins
Helps to prevent alcohol and other toxins from being converted into compounds that may be harmful to your liver
Supports formation of healthy tissue

Purifies your blood

Stimulates formation of new blood tissue
Anti-inflammatory: Helps to reduce irritation to tissues characterized by pain, redness, swelling and heat

Contains curcuminoids that fight cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s

Curcuminoids are potent phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients) that contain powerful antioxidant properties
Counteract the damaging effects of free radicals in your body
Relieve arthritis pain and stiffness, anti-inflammatory agent
Anti-carcinogenic: “Curcumin has been shown to prevent a large of number of cancers in animal studies. Laboratory data indicate that curcumin can inhibit tumor initiation, promotion, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis.”[1]
Supports treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: “Because Alzheimer's disease is caused in part by amyloid-induced inflammation, curcumin has been shown to be effective against Alzheimer's. Clinical trials are in progress at UCLA with curcumin for Alzheimer's.”[2]

Curcumin: Turmeric’s Active Anti-Inflammatory “Ingredient”

Most notably turmeric is known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, which come from curcumin -- the pigment that gives turmeric its yellow-orange color, and which is thought to be responsible for many of its medicinal effects. There are an estimated three to five grams of curcumin in 100 grams of turmeric.

Curcumin has been shown to influence more than 700 genes, and it can inhibit both the activity and the synthesis of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX), as well as other enzymes that have been implicated in inflammation.[3]

Turmeric’s Cancer-Fighting Properties

In India where turmeric is widely used, the prevalence of four common U.S. cancers -- colon, breast, prostate and lung -- is 10 times lower. In fact, prostate cancer, which is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in U.S. men, is rare in India and this is attributed, in part, to turmeric.

Numerous studies have looked into this potential cancer-fighting link, with promising results. For instance, curcumin has been found to:

Inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells
Inhibit the transformation of cells from normal to tumor
Help your body destroy mutated cancer cells so they cannot spread throughout your body
Decrease inflammation
Enhance liver function
Inhibit the synthesis of a protein thought to be instrumental in tumor formation
Prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth

As for the results of research studies, a study in Biochemical Pharmacology found that curcumin can slow the spread of breast cancer cells to the lungs in mice.[4]

"Curcumin acts against transcription factors, which are like a master switch," said lead researcher, Bharat Aggarwal. "Transcription factors regulate all the genes needed for tumors to form. When we turn them off, we shut down some genes that are involved in the growth and invasion of cancer cells."

A second study in Biochemical Pharmacology also found that curcumin inhibits the activation of NF-kappaB, a regulatory molecule that signals genes to produce a slew of inflammatory molecules (including TNF, COX-2 and IL-6) that promote cancer cell growth.[5]

Turmeric’s Essential Role for Your Liver

Your liver’s primary role is to process and remove toxins carried in your bloodstream. When functioning at its peak, it can filter up to two liters of blood per minute and easily break apart toxic molecules to reduce their toxicity. Your liver is also a crucial part of vitamin, mineral, protein, fat, carbohydrate and hormonal metabolism.

However, poor diet, allergens, pollution and stress can cause your liver to become sluggish, and this can impair its vital functions. This is where turmeric can be a very useful part of your liver support system. Studies have shown that it:

May increase important detoxification enzymes in your liver
Induces the formation of a primary liver detoxification enzyme, glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes

Turmeric is also a natural cholagogue, a medicinal agent that promotes the discharge of bile from your system. Increased bile flow is important to help your liver detoxify and to help your body digest fats.

Turmeric for Your Heart, Brain and Overall Health

Turmeric inhibits free radical damage of fats, including cholesterol. When cholesterol is damaged in this way, or oxidized, it can then damage your blood vessels and lead to a heart attack or stroke. Therefore, research suggests that turmeric’s ability to prevent the oxidation of cholesterol may be beneficial for your heart. It’s also rich in vitamin B6, high intakes of which are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.

Meanwhile, turmeric appears to be highly protective against neurodegenerative diseases. In fact, in India levels of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s are very low, and studies have shown that curcumin can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s in mice. The compound has also proven capable of blocking the progression of multiple sclerosis.

Further, Professor Moolky Nagabhushan from the Loyola University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, who has been studying turmeric for the last 20 years, believes that turmeric can protect against harmful environmental chemicals, and in so doing protect against childhood leukemia. The research showed that curcumin in turmeric can:[7]

Inhibit the toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (cancer-causing chemicals in the environment)
Inhibit radiation-induced chromosome damage
Prevent the formation of harmful heterocyclic amines and nitroso compounds, which may result in the body when eating certain processed foods, such as processed meat products
Irreversibly inhibit the multiplication of leukemia cells in a cell culture

Turmeric's volatile oils also have external anti-bacterial action. As such, they may help prevent bacterial wound infections and accelerate wound healing. Johnson & Johnson even sells a curcumin-containing Band-Aid in India!

And the therapeutic potential of turmeric and curcumin do not end there. Evidence suggests the spice may also be beneficial for:

Cystic fibrosis
Type 2 diabetes
Crohn’s disease
Psoriasis
Rheumatoid arthritis

Cataracts
Gallstones
Muscle regeneration
Inflammatory bowel disease

Which Type of Turmeric is Best?

For use in cooking, choose a pure turmeric powder, rather than a curry powder. At least one study has found that curry powders tend to contain very little curcumin, compared to turmeric powder. Turmeric is also available in supplement form and for many this is a more convenient method to obtain these health benefits discussed above, especially if they are from a high-quality organic source and if one doesn’t particularly enjoy the taste of curry.

On my recent trip to India I was able to find a company called Organic India that produces probably some of the best Indian herbs on the planet.

My father's coworker told him about turmeric. This coworker is an elderly man with a severe arthritic condition of some sort.

He had taken steroids and other anti inflammatory drugs over the years but found it generally painful to walk and move around. It was obvious to those around him how much pain he was in.

According to my dad, this man started taking turmeric after a friend recommended it. He didn't notice any benefit at first (I think he initially only took small doses), but increased the dosage 2 or 3 times and he started feeling much better. His coworkers even noticed that he was moving around easier.

Long story short, my dad recommended I start taking it. I have some sort of autoimmune problem and deal with colitis due to food allergies and other things.

My dad bought me a bottle that he found in a local vitamin shop. I took one pill at each meal. I didn't notice anything until I took about 4 pills with lunch and or dinner.

The regular turmeric is too spicy for me. in fact it makes me sweat and upsets my stomach. However the brand that doesn't give me trouble is "Turmeric Force" by New Chapter. I've been taking it for about 7 months and it helps my stomach to a degree.

I was wondering if anyone here has had this happen to them after taking turmeric.

I take 1 500mg capsule a day with 1 capsule of 1000mg fish oil. over the past few weeks I have been developing a bright yellow (almost neon in color)stain on the palm of my right hand. It mostly washes off in water, so I don't think it's jaundice...I do drink to excess sometimes on the weekends, so I have been worried about my liver.
I read somewhere that it might be from the antioxidant effects of the turmeric, but am unsure what to think.

I have only been taking it for a month or so, but find it strange that it only shows up on my right palm.

Any ideas??

Nevermind the above post....

I figured it out. Every day I take out a capsule and drop it into my right hand. The oil on my skin must react with some residual on the capsule. It just takes awhile for it to show.

LOL...I feel like an idiot.

Turmeric is a truly beautiful spice...I grew up in South Africa and it is commonly used there. I spend most of my time in Italy now, but get my Turmeric shipped to me as I can't without it.

I am a allopathy doctor myself ; dont want to sound pedantic but in layman's terms all diseases especially as you grow older, are related to degeneration and inflammation along with diminished immunity. Name any disease cancer inclusive , it would be have a correlation with the above mechanisms. Turmeric or Curcumin ( the active product ) should I say, acts at a cellular level to cut down the above mechanisms and keep you healthy and disease free for a long period of time.
Just a word of caution, if it is not for local diseases as IBS ( ulcerative colitis etc)where we would like to have curcumin stay and work at a local level and less systemic absorption and hence the rationale of having it dissolved in water ; for diseases as cancer and other degenerative diseases we need it to go through either lymphatics or blood. Lymphatic absorption being a quicker process, it would be lot better if we dissolve curcumin powder in warm milk or coconut cream or any other fatty base with a dash of pepper.
One needs to experience the 'turmeric' magic by having it on a regular basis :))

Go turmeric !!!!!!!

I put turmeric on my penis and it grew!

turmeric does it all!

In Maldives turmeric is added in our dishes and in curry mixes. I am a regular reader of bbc and I remember one article saying that Western doctors found that certain types of stomach cancers very low in Asia than in Europe. They found that spices and herbs used in curries is playing the role.

I searched for this only after a local health worker told me to give turmeric drink to my son who is having digestive problems n skin problems. He advised me to dissolve half a teaspoon in water. It should be almost colorless.

I am definately going to try it as his earlier treatment for my elder son warded off tonsilitis. The doctors told me there was no way out but his medicine worked.

I am also going to start taking turmeric, will keep you posted about its effects.

I just read about Turmeric on a blog site and it was so interesting I wanted to research it more. Thanks for posting even more benefits of Turmeric and I am certainly going to give Turmeric a try!
