According to a study published in the journal “Phytotherapy Research,” black turmeric may have potential anti-inflammatory properties that could be beneficial for people with joint pain. The study, which was conducted on rats, found that black turmeric extract was able to improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation in the rats’ joints.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Amalendu Biswas, said that the findings could have important implications for the treatment of joint pain in humans. “Currently, there are few natural treatments for joint pain, and many people resort to prescription drugs,” Biswas said. “Our findings suggest that black turmeric could be a valuable alternative for people who want to avoid drugs.”
The study’s other lead author, Dr. Sumeet Chaudhary, said that the findings suggest that black turmeric could be a promising treatment for joint pain. “We are currently working on a larger study to confirm these findings,” Chaudhary said.
The study’s results are preliminary, and the researchers are still working to understand the mechanism behind black turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties. However, the study’s authors say that the findings provide a compelling rationale for further research into black turmeric’s potential benefits for joint pain.
The study’s findings come as a surprise, given that black turmeric has long been known for its anti-inflammatory properties. In traditional Indian medicine, black turmeric is often used to treat conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, and inflammation.
The study was conducted on rats, and the researchers are still working to confirm the findings in human trials. However, if the findings from the study are confirmed, black turmeric could be a valuable treatment for people with joint pain.
