Read on to find out more about the role of KBM Turmeric Spice in fighting diseases and keeping them at bay.

 

• A staple of every Indian kitchen, turmeric helps in fighting Alzheimer’s Disease. The thing that helps with this disease is called cur cumin whose presence is also responsible for giving turmeric its distinctive yellow color. Due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, this spice has been used since time immemorial to enhance digestion and prevent a cold or a flu. 

  

• Years of research on turmeric has also found it has rich storage of antioxidants. These antioxidants are useful in ridding the body of unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals that, if left unattended in the body, can cause deadly diseases including cancer. 

 

• Studies conducted in test-tubes back in the 90s show evidence that cur cumin is a powerful antioxidant in the same league as Vitamins C and Vitamin E and even Beta-Carotene. Another reason why turmeric has been used since ages to keep food fresh by sprinkling it on top is because these antioxidants also act as powerful preservatives. 

 

• Some of the other lesser known miracles of turmeric include 

Helps Immensely with Joint Pain and Arthritis 

The anti-inflammatory compounds found in turmeric are proven to ease inflammation around the joints. This is the reason doctors and health experts recommend turmeric to treat any inflammation in the joints around the hands and wrists which is associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Here in India, turmeric is widely considered as a standard anti-inflammatory medication. Often you will see people treating wounds and cuts by applying a little turmeric on it as it is the most effective. In a study published in the 1980s, a group of rheumatoid arthritis patients who took 1,200 mg of turmeric a day experience the same amount of reduction in pain, stiffness, and swelling as compared to those who took the prescription drug for anti-inflammation Phenylbutazone, which was known to induce terrifying side effects.  

Eases A Variety of Stomach Problems 

Problems with digestion? Pass excessive gas all day long? Feel bloated even on an empty stomach? All these problems have their cure found in turmeric. Health authorities in Germany have even declared turmeric tea the go-to remedy for an upset stomach with lab research and study backing their claims. The bacteria that is responsible for causing an upset stomach that leads to infectious diarrhea is treated with cur cumin that is found in turmeric. There have been many clinical trials to test this claim with turmeric passing with flying colors.  

Thanks to a group of Thai researchers who in a 1989 study found that patients who were given 500 mg capsules of cur cumin four times a day faced no problems with indigestion when compared to those who were given placebo pills. The study involved more than a hundred adults at six Thai hospitals across the country with the entire thing being double-blind. Which means that neither the patients nor the researchers conducting the study were aware of what each patient was taking during the trial. 

90% of the patients who took cur cumin pills experienced full of partial pain relief just after seven days.
