Searching the spice rack could reveal a remedy for those tummy troubles. Fresh insights from a BMJ-published study reveal that turmeric, loaded with the compound curcumin, might just be the answer to indigestion woes.
More than 150 indigestion sufferers took part in this research, where they were handed either a dose of the common drug omeprazole, turmeric, or a mix of both.
After being assessed on days 28 and 56 using a standard questionnaire, researchers were intrigued by the results. It turns out, turmeric held its ground pretty well against the drug.
For centuries, folks in Southeast Asia have sworn by turmeric’s soothing powers, especially for an upset stomach. While the U.S. has been harnessing its anti-inflammatory abilities mainly for osteoarthritis and IBS, this study is the pioneer in pitting turmeric directly against omeprazole in the indigestion arena.
