Turmeric may be as good for treating indigestion as medicine, a study suggests.
A natural compound found in the culinary spice may be as effective as omeprazole, a drug used to reduce excess stomach acid and treat indigestion, according to the first study of its kind. The findings were published in the journal BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.
Turmeric contains a naturally active compound called curcumin, thought to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has long been used as a medicinal remedy, including for the treatment of indigestion, in south-east Asia.
It’s not. Been told that before. Tried it many times at varying amounts. It always made things worse and then I had the taste of turmeric stuck in my mouth or when I’d burp. It was nasty and ineffective.
Also thins the fuck out of your blood iirc if you are taking it in large + regular quantities.
Geez, didn’t know that part. That’d be bad for anyone on thinners.
