How To Maximize The Potency Of Anti-Inflammation Plant – Turmeric And Inflammation
There is a strong, scientifically proven link between turmeric and inflammation. This natural plant, long used in cooking in India, is more than a nice taste and a distinctive orange-yellow color in a delicious curry. It will impact on free-radical damage, some cancer, hardening of your arteries and inflammation.
The strongest health component of this amazing plant is the polyphenol curcumin. It has a big potential for anti-inflammatory healing.
For thousands of years traditional Indian doctors and healers have know of this link between turmeric and inflammation. In the last 50 years or so Western doctors and scientists have been looking at the anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin in the turmeric and are now increasingly advocating products that include it.
For one thing the curcumin is harmless. It is a part of a natural plant and has no known side effects.
For another, it is effective in many cases. Rubbing turmeric on a wound or small burn does result in healing.
Research in the University of Arizona has shown that patients fed turmeric components prior to an arthritis flare-up, for example, have either less reaction or no attack at all. This is amazing. Especially since the turmeric plant is so inexpensive and natural.
It is curcumin that does much of the healing work in turmeric and so you need to make sure your supplements which contain turmeric hold high potency doses of curcumin in the turmeric. Scientists can now adjust the proportion and strength of curcumin in turmeric as they make it for supplements. So you need to look for 90 to 95 percent strength curcumin when you next buy turmeric or look around the a supplement that contains this wonderful plant.
Get high potency 95 percent curcumin in turmeric and any inflammation will be affected. That is a fact.
Here in New Zealand, in the city where I live, a small, experienced supplement maker is using turmeric treated so it includes high potency curcumin. It is exactly this type of supplement I would recommend. In fact you may like to look at the supplements he makes.
