Tumeric and inflammation
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 3:16 pm
Hi I'm new here, so...hi all.
Dx'd in 2004, having my first major flare-up now, not sure how to handle it. I live in - and am from - a 3rd world country with very limited access to healthcare unless its private therefore its *really* expensive (especially in anything specialised like neurology).
I tend to do this thinking-out-aloud thing so pls forgive me if you dont like any of my posts.
Much has been speculated about the use of tumeric (in tablet form or in food) in helping calm inflammation in the body.
What I wonder is that, since there's no direct evidence that it helps in MS patients, but since its also a totally natural ingredient, there can't be any harm in taking it anyway.
Just a thought. You have any on this?
