Benefits of Turmeric

Anti-inflammatory agents are used for the treatment of all types of inflammation.



They are also one of the most used and most prescribed type of drugs in the world.



A major drawback of these drugs is that they cause gastric irritation and should not be taken by patients suffering from peptic ulcers or acidity.





A powerful alternative to these anti-inflammatory is found in India in the form of Turmeric (Curcuma longa). Turmeric has long been used in traditional Indian medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent. Double blind control trials conducted recently have proved that anti-inflammatory effect of Turmeric is as good as that of prevalent allopathic drugs.



The active substance in Turmeric that promotes healing is called curcumin. The usage of the drug in hospitals should be encouraged as a paste or concoction made of Turmeric is relatively simple to make.

At the same time more stringent clinical trials should be carried out to detect any significant toxic side effects of curcumin. If the trials prove successful, then next logical step will be to create patented medicines based on Turmeric. This requires some meticulous research and development to be carried out and any organization which takes the lead in the synthesis of a Turmeric based medication will obviously have the advantage of being able to lay claim to a patent for its medication.
