Although best known as a spice that gives a distinctive flavour and yellow colour to curry powder and mustard, Turmeric is a member of the ginger family and has long been used for healing.
Clinical studies have substantiated that curcumin, the active ingredient exerts very powerful antioxidant effects. This is important in many diseases, such as arthritis, where free radicals are responsible for the painful joint inflammation and eventual damage to the joints.
Turmeric's combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatry effects explains why many people with joint disease find relief when they use the spice regularly. In a recent study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, curcumin produced improvements in shortened duration of morning stiffness, lengthened walking time, and reduced joint swelling.
