Turmeric (curcuma longa L.) is a plant well-recognized for its anti-inflammatory aspects due to its polyphenolic curcuminoids. In a scoping review of published papers, researchers determined that current evidence is great that suggests clinical benefit from taking turmeric for its anti-inflammatory benefits, particularly in inflammation-linked diseases like obesity-related metabolic disorders or musculoskeletal disorders (like back and neck pain).

In the meantime, we can chat about how turmeric’s addition to your nutrition plan may positively influence your pain relief and healing.
