What is Curcumin?
Curcumin is one of the oldest, traditional spices. It is made up of three different curcuminoids that give curcumin its intense yellow color. Across Asia, people have consumed curcumin for thousands of years as a food product. It is also often used externally on wounds and for skin diseases.
Since 1949 when Nature published an article entitled “Antibacterial Action of curcumin…” conventional medicine has been intrigued with this substance. A myriad of scientific articles have been published attributing the anti-inflammatory properties to curcumin.
What Can Curcumin Treat?
Aside from treating inflammation it has been shown to be able to treat rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, cancer and dyslipidemia.
When it comes to cancer curcumin has been shown to block cell growth, trigger senescent cells to complete their cell cycle through all its phases, and triggers apoptosis resulting in cell death.
