Tips for Health: TURMERIC

TIP #1:  Turmeric is one the most thoroughly researched plants in existence today. Its medicinal properties and components (primarily curcumin) have been the subject of over 5600 peer-reviewed and published biomedical studies.


In fact, a five-year long research project on this sacred plant has revealed over 600 potential preventive and therapeutic applications, as well as 175 distinct beneficial physiological effects.

Science Confirms Turmeric As Effective As 14 DrugsThe NCBI has over  1,585  turmeric abstracts covering research on this plant. 
Given the sheer density of research performed on this remarkable spice, it is no wonder that a growing number of studies have concluded that it compares favorably to a variety of conventional medications, including:


  • Lipitor/Atorvastatin(cholesterol medication);
  • Corticosteroids (steroid medications);
  • Prozac/Fluoxetine & Imipramine (antidepressants);
  • Aspirin (blood thinner);
  • Anti-inflammatory Drugs; like aspirin, ibuprofen, sulindac, phenylbutazone, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, dexamethasone, celecoxib, and tamoxifen;
  • Oxaliplatin (chemotherapy drug);
  • Metformin (diabetes drug); and more.

Another way in which turmeric and its components reveal their remarkable therapeutic properties is in research on drug resistant- and multi-drug resistant cancers. TIP #2: Watch the video of Dr. Ajay Goel (click link here) for lab interview.  While there are dozens of substances with demonstrable efficacy against these chemotherapy- and radiation-resistant cancers, curcumin tops both lists.
