Circumin, the active compound in this spice is what makes it so powerful for healing and is a strong anti-inflammatory that helps fight viral infection, cancer, and arthritis. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with a long history of use both medicinally and in cuisine.

Considerations for use
Anyone taking prescription blood thinners, anti-coagulants, or has biliary tract obstruction should not take turmeric or curcumin because it stimulates bile secretion. If it is indicated for your condition, be sure to verify if you should use the powder, a tincture, or a poultice. Enhance absorp- tion by taking it with black pepper or bromelain/pineapple. Pineapple will also help with the stom- ach distress prolonged use of curcumin can cause. People with congestive heart disease and who don’t know the cause should also avoid curcumin, as should those who have trouble with blood clotting. It is also not recommended for people with painful gallstones, toxic liver disorders, bilious colic, or obstructive jaundice, according to Bach. If pregnant or trying to become pregnant, check with a qualified practitioner.
