Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice commonly used in Southeast Asia for over 4000 years and it has well known health benefits and strong anti-inflammatory effects. It acts to block the same anti-inflammatory pathways (COX-2) that NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, naproxen) do.
Some studies suggest that Turmeric has neuroprotective benefits by removing amyloid plaque formation and prevent their formation. Beta amyloid plaques are associated with Alzheimer’s Disease.
