4000 years of use. That’s some history! Curcumin owns it. (Chiropractic enjoys its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern
countries like China and India offers much fodder
to researchers to investigate just what an influence
it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory
substance is gaining credit
for positive effect on neurological diseases, cell death, and
pain. Novelli Wellness Center continues to study curcumin’s positive role in potential inflammation
and Orchard Park, NY back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin possesses an expansive
history of usage going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter
history of use currently for its ability to modulate
levels of various neurotransmitters
in the brain along with stopping
cell death. Curcumin affects inflammatory cytokines, growth factors,
and enzymes. (2) Ten years ago researchers suggested
that curcumin may well be a “future drug of therapy for the
treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive
dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders.
They called for further clinical
studies back then to put curcumin into therapeutic use due
to its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia,
major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric
disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may contribute
to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to reduce or stop
reactive astrocyte expression and thereby preventing cell death is advantageous.

cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and appreciates
the potential curcumin possesses in addressing
cell death and reducing inflammation and thereby reducing
Orchard Park, NY back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to incorporate
curcumin for maximal benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A
curcumin rich diet is written to offset diseases
like cancer and diabetes as well as decrease inflammation. A new
paper on curcumin brings to light the role
curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular
atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple
sclerosis and more). In an effort to effect
more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors present
the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Novelli Wellness Center
realizes many Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients will go the supplementation
route as it’s easy and effective. Novelli Wellness Center will share
what’s right for you and your Orchard Park, NY chiropractic
