“The yellow spice turmeric, a constituent of curry powder, contains high concentrations of the potent antioxidant curcumin (1).” “Turmeric has been used historically as a compound of Indian Ayurvedic medicine since 1,900 BCE to treat a wide variety of ailments (2).” It was not until “the latter half of the 20th century [that curcumin was identified]…as responsible for most of the biological activity of turmeric (3).”
According to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, “…evidence that curcumin may have anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities has renewed scientific interest in its potential to prevent and treat disease (4).”
In an article written by Kohli et al entitled, “Curcumin: A natural anti-inflammatory agent” it states that “…in instances of acute inflammation, oral administration of curcumin was found to be as effective as cortisone or phenylbutazone, whereas in chronic inflammation it was only half as effective (5).” But, the article indicated that “Deodhar et al have studied the anti-inflammatory action of curcumin in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The study demonstrated a significant improvement in the duration of morning stiffness, walking time and joint swelling (6).” In addition, this article also discusses the concept that “curcumin reduces the neutrophil infiltration in inflammatory conditions and inhibit platelet aggregation….The oxygen radical scavenging activity of curcumin has also been implicated in its anti-inflammatory effects (7).”
In addition to the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin, it was also “found to be a very potent antioxidant (8). It is also written that “a large number of studies have revealed that curcumin has wide therapeutic actions such as anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, anticancer, hepatoprotection and neuroprotection, etc….Thus, curcumin may prove as useful for treatment of diseases such as arthritis, cancer, HIV, etc (9).”
Further research is continuing on this topic. “As of 2008, numerous clinical trials in humans were underway, studying the effect of curcumin on numerous diseases including multiple myeloma, pancreatic cancer, myelodysplastic syndromes, colon cancer, psoriasis, and Alzheimer’s disease (10).”
