Nature's Powerful Anti-Inflammatory
Turmeric: Nature's Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Root

[Turmeric: Nature's Powerful Anti-Inflammatory Root]
Some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted was cooked in
London. I always knew that the British loved Indian cuisine and
that they once held governance over India. What I didn't know
was that curry was introduced to Indian cuisine by the Brits.
(Just a little fun fact to chew on.)

In countries like India where traditional cultures are thousands
of years old, there are deep traditions of cooking daily meals
with medicinal roots and herbs. These herbs act as preventive
measures for sustaining good health, and prevention is the
cornerstone of India's traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Turmeric is one such medicinal root that has made its way into a
vast number of Indian recipes. Aside from your standard chicken
or goat curries, there is a whole list of Indian dishes that
contain flavorful thermogenic ingredients like cardamom,
coriander, ginger, cloves, chili and turmeric. Not only are the
recipes tasty, the ones containing turmeric are especially
healthful.

Research by Sarker and his colleagues notes turmeric's
powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antioxidant
properties. Moreover, the United States National Library of
Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have
this to say: "Laboratory and animal research has demonstrated
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties of
turmeric and its constituent curcumin."

It is true that inflammation is a natural response your body has
to potentially damaging stimuli. Catch a cold or sprain an ankle
and the immune system kicks in and produces swelling to guard
while healing takes place. But often the body does not know how
or when to stop the inflammation and this causes too much fibrin
in the tissues that can lead to pain and stiffness. If left
untreated, it can become a chronic health issue.

Unlike aspirin or ibuprophen, turmeric's curcumin reduces
inflammation naturally, without damaging the liver or kidneys. It
has been found especially helpful in treating conditions like
arthritis, sports injuries, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's
disease, tendonitis and various autoimmune diseases. Some
research even suggests that curcumin may also help those
suffering asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and yes, even
cancer.

Since turmeric's curcumin component is an anti-inflammatory
as well as an antioxident agent, it has been used for treating
wounds, digestive disorders, liver issues, arthritis and in the
prevention of cancer. Statistics also show that Asian children
experience less incidence of leukemia than their Western
counterparts and it seems a diet rich in turmeric may be the
reason why.

Recent studies show that rats that were prone to multiple
sclerosis developed very few if any symptoms after being given
curcumin. The journal Science reported in their April 23, 2004,
issue that curcumin has countered the genetic damage that leads
to the lung disorder cystic fibrosis in mice test subjects. It
was also shown that curcumin protects against alcohol's
damaging affects on the liver as well as harmonizing the stomach
and digestion.

Thousands of scientific articles on the efficacy of curcumin are
found within the NIH and NLM's PubMed MEDLINE database. These
show curcumin to be effective in the treatment of inflammation,
wounds, cancer, heart disease and as a preventive measure against
arthritis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),
neurological diseases, Alzheimer's disease, multiple
sclerosis, type-2 diabetes, cataracts, cystic fibrosis,
scleroderma and many others.

As if that list were too small, as reported in the Journal of
Alternative & Complementary Therapies, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service lists nearly 80
biologic activities associated with curcumin, from anti-HIV to
anti-ulcerogenic actions.

My advice: Everyone enjoy Indian food containing turmeric at
least once a week as a symptomatic and preventive measure.
