Is Turmeric Good For Arthritis?




Turmeric is a key ingredient in curry dishes and has been used for centuries in traditional Indian and Chinese medicines. Research has investigated the effects of turmeric in arthritis. 

A study has compared turmeric to ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drug, in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The participants received either 400 milligrams of ibuprofen per day or 2 grams of turmeric extract per day. All participants saw an improvement in pain on level walking and in pain on the stairs. This study showed that turmeric extract can treat osteoarthritis knee pain as well as ibuprofen without the side effects associated to NSAIDs.

Another study involved 820 patients suffering from various forms of painful osteoarthritis. They were treated with turmeric extract for more than 6 months. The data showed that within the first 6 weeks the participants experienced improved pain, articular mobility and quality of life. More than half of these patients were able to stop taking anti-inflammatory and pain medication.

A recent review of 29 randomized clinical trials has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of turmeric in treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis. The review concluded that these clinical trials provided scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of turmeric extract in the treatment of arthritis.

Turmeric is an effective natural alternative for the care of patients complaining of joint problems, with excellent tolerance and rapid benefits for articular mobility, pain, and quality of life.
