Turmeric Joint Pain
On the relationship between turmeric and joint pain
Turmeric, many ancient herbal books have recorded its effect. Its nature is warm, the taste is hard, and it belongs to the liver and spleen meridians. In the way of healing and health, the power of turmeric is quite impressive.
Joint pain is the suffering of many patients. When people are old, or due to labor injury, or being attacked by wind cold and damp evil, the joints often feel sore, heavy, and even unfavorable. Turmeric has a unique effect on this disease.
The pharmacology of turmeric is rich in curcumin and other active ingredients. These ingredients have excellent anti-inflammatory power. Joint pain is mostly caused by inflammation. Curcumin can inhibit the generation and release of inflammatory mediators in the body, thereby slowing down the inflammatory response in the joints, and the pain is also relieved.
And turmeric has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When joint pain occurs, local qi and blood do not run smoothly, which is easy to cause blood stasis. Turmeric can dissipate qi stagnation and smooth blood vessels, so that blood stasis can be dissolved, and qi and blood can resume in the normal way. In this way, the pain and swelling of the joints gradually disappear, and the movement is gradually free.
Ancient physicians often used turmeric in combination with other medicines when they encountered joint pain. Or with Qianghuo and Duhuo to enhance the power of removing wind and dehumidification, clearing collaterals and relieving pain; or with Angelica and Chuanxiong to strengthen the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
People today are also important in health care. In daily diet, turmeric can be appropriately added. Or when cooking delicacies, sprinkle a little turmeric powder, which can not only increase the color and aroma of dishes, but also obtain the benefits of turmeric health. In this way, perseverance can protect the health of joints and relieve pain.
