Turmeric's Potential in Treating Indigestion Revealed by Study
TL;DR Summary
A study published in the medical journal BMJ compared the effectiveness of omeprazole, turmeric (containing curcumin), or a combination of both in treating indigestion. The study found no significant differences in symptom improvement between the groups. Turmeric has been used for centuries in Southeast Asia to treat stomach discomfort, and its primary medicinal use in the US is as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant supplement. While more research is needed, experts suggest discussing the use of turmeric with a doctor, as it may interact with other medications and have potential side effects.
