Historically, turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic medicine, primarily in South Asia, for many conditions, including breathing problems, rheumatism, serious pain, and fatigue. On my travels to Bali our guide told me that his family uses turmeric for so many aliments and has done so for many generations. We use it today as a dietary supplement for inflammation; arthritis; stomach, skin, liver, and gallbladder problems; cancer; and other conditions.
The health effects found in turmeric helps reduce inflammation and are supported by studies:

• Preliminary studies found that curcuminoids may reduce the number of heart attacks bypass patients had after surgery

• Control knee pain from osteoarthritis as well as ibuprofen did

• Reduce the skin irritation that often occurs after radiation treatments for breast cancer
. • Other preliminary studies in people have looked at curcumin, a type of curcuminoid, for different cancers, colitis, diabetes, surgical pain, and as an ingredient in mouthwash for reducing plaque
.
• The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has studied curcumin for Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and prostate and colon cancer.
