Naturopathy With turmeric for liver disease

Scientists are currently in animal studies have demonstrated the medicinal effectiveness of turmeric (turmeric) on liver disease. According to a British journal, turmeric was mixed in feed for four weeks in some mice suffering from chronic liver inflammation (hepatitis). Compared to the control group, the animals treated in this way should have exhibited a significant reduction in liver damage and biliary congestion. For clinical medicine, this provides a promising perspective for new therapeutic concepts against chronic inflammatory liver diseases.

Turmeric as a plant antibiotic.
In China and India, people have long known about the medicinal properties of turmeric, the Latin name Curcuma longa carries, in China Jiang Huang is called and whose Sanskrit designation Haridra is. In Ayurveda, Indian traditional medicine, turmeric is especially recommended for chronic diseases. The root is considered a natural antibiotic, which balances the intestinal flora, also cleanses the blood and stimulates the formation of blood. Indications include indigestion, anemia and circulatory disorders as well as cough, pharyngitis and arthritis. Due to the metabolism-regulating effect, it should also help against skin diseases and diabetes. In the case of strains, sprains, wounds and itching, the plant is used in ayurveda - together with honey - externally.

Complex mode of action not always detectable.
Bit by bit, modern medical scientific research is deciphering the building blocks of traditional healing systems of different cultures. All too often, however, the healing properties of medicinal plants, which in experience have shown good results in natural medicine, can not be scientifically proven. As a rule, individual active substances are extracted from the medicinal plants for research purposes and used in isolated animal experiments. So the effect should be predictable and reproducible at all times. Unfortunately, the synergetic (i.e., mutually reinforcing) effect of the numerous ingredients of a plant is lost in which its healing power is likely to be due to the again complex human organism. After all, in the case of turmeric proof of effect, at least in terms of chronic liver inflammation, initially succeeded.
