Turmeric for Inflammation http://www.guaranteedtosleep.com/blog/2009/12/turmeric-for-inflammation/ http://www.guaranteedtosleep.com/blog/2009/12/turmeric-for-inflammation/#comments Fri, 18 Dec 2009 03:15:10 +0000 admin http://guaranteedtosleep.com/blog/?p=102 There are many people who cannot us pharmaceutical anti inflammatory drugs because of gastrointestinal problem associated with them or because of elevated liver enzymes that anti inflammatory drugs can cause. These drugs include aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium.  Over the years I have found turmeric, also known as curcumin to be a very effective alternative to these pharmaceuticals.

Inflammation is one of the biggest factors in pain and illness today. The more we can control inflammation in our bodies the better of we will be. We will live longer and feel better. There is much current research pointing to the belief that generalized inflammation is one of the main reasons for general physical aging and ageing related conditions.

Turmeric needs to be used at least twice each day and sometimes 3 times each day to keep inflammation under control. It is not an immediate fix like an aspirin or ibuprofen, but if you use it regularly for a week or so you will begin feeling a lot less discomfort and pain. It is particularly effective for joint and arthritic type conditions.
