Curcumin or (turmeric) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for
centuries for the treatment of inflammation and has been shown to work
as a very effective antioxidant as well.
Doctors are now using curcumin "turmeric"
for inflammatory processes such as joint stress, acute infections, and
for health conditions caused by free radical damage: cardiovascular,
arterial and circulatory support.
Many studies have shown the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers
of curcuminoids in the herb turmeric. In a double-blind test,
people with rheumatoid arthritis who received curcumin extract
benefited greatly without side effects. In another study, 10 people
who received 500 mg of curcumin extract every day for a week had a
measurable lowering of free radicals in their body. Still other
medical studies have shown that curcumin, with its curcuminoids, can
help maintain normal cell growth.
