Common Benefits

Good for arthritis – Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory. And this herb has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat arthritis. Curcumin was put to the test in a 2012 randomised study consisting of 45 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. One group received 500 mg of curcumin while another group received 50mg of diclofenac sodium (an anti-inflammatory drug). The results, which were published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal “Phytotherapy Research,” found the curcumin group had the highest percentage of improvement. The study also notes: “More importantly, curcumin treatment was found to be safe and did not relate with any adverse events.”

May help reduce depression – Studies show curcumin could be effective in treating depression. n 2014, researchers in India gave study participants Prozac, curcumin or a combination of the two. The result? Curcumin was just as effective as Prozac. Two other studies, one performed on men and women and another performed only on men, had similar results.

May help with PMS – If you suffer from menstrual cramps or other PMS symptoms such as back pain and headaches, turmeric may provide some much-needed relief! In a randomised, double-blind study, women who received two capsules of curcumin every day for seven days before their period and for three days after for three successive cycles had reduced PMS symptoms

Turmeric fights inflammation – Inflammation is the body’s response to injury and infection. It signals the immune system to respond by either treating or repairing the damage or to “prepare for battle” against invaders, such as bacteria or viruses. While some inflammation is necessary (and even vital), chronic inflammation can lead to many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and even cancer. Thanks to its curcumin compounds, turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory — and a strong one at that. One study found that turmeric (and curcumin) is comparable to anti-inflammatory medicines with the added bonus of no side effects. (As a side note, the study also found aspirin and ibuprofen were the least effective.)

Antioxidant effects – Curcumin is an antioxidant. Antioxidants help reduce levels of “free radicals” in your body. Free radicals are responsible for a process known as “oxidative stress,” which can damage your cells. This can lead to a range of effects, from signs of aging, like wrinkles, to a greater risk of serious diseases, including cancer.

Good for your skin – Turmeric may not be a beauty berry like acai, but it can still improve the health of your skin. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and it has the ability to block free radicals. And thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it may be beneficial in treating psoriasis. It’s also said the combination of antioxidants and anti-inflammatories helps bring out your skin’s natural glow.

Alzheimer’s disease – Inflammation and oxidative damage are two of the biggest contributors in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric to the rescue! In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, research also shows curcumin could prevent the formation, and even break up, of the amyloid-beta plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease. And while it may be anecdotal evidence, some believe India has the lowest rates of Alzheimer’s due to their turmeric consumption.

Good for your heart and overall vitality – Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the world, claiming the lives of over 15 million people — but turmeric may help! Curcumin has the ability to improve the endothelium — the thin layer of tissue that lines blood vessels. (Did you know? Endothelial cells, when laid end to end, could circle the Earth four times!) A 2012 study tracked the endothelial function in a small group of post-menopausal women and endothelial function. One group performed aerobic exercise, while another group ingested curcumin. After 8 weeks, those who took curcumin improved their endothelial cell function just as much as a group who exercised. Another study suggests curcumin works just as well as Atorvastatin, a drug often prescribed for heart-related issues.

Powerful cancer fighter – When it comes to certain types of cancer, it’s no match to curcumin’s anti-cancer properties! From inhibiting cancer cell death to reducing cancer growth and even preventing the spread of cancer, studies show that curcumin can do it all. According to Cancer Research UK, curcumin has the best effects on breast cancer, bowel cancer, stomach cancer and skin cancer cells. What’s more, less than ½ teaspoon of turmeric a day reduces the DNA mutating ability of cancer-causing substances. (This is one of many reasons why turmeric is on Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen list.)
