Although turmeric is a spice, it has been used medicinally for more than 4,000 years, for a wide range of applications, from skin to respiratory and gastrointestinal problems.
Further, modern research has focused on the activity of phenolic compounds found in turmeric known as curcuminoids, which have demonstrated powerful antioxidant properties.
New research indicates that curcumin can help repair damaged nerve tissues.
Researchers examined the effects of three different dosages of curcumin on nerve crush injury in rats. The rats were subjected to nerve crush injury and given either curcumin or a placebo daily for four weeks. The effects on nerve regeneration were measured by morphometric analysis and behavioral tests.
In summary, it was found that rats given curcumin achieved better nerve regeneration and functional recovery compared to rats given a placebo, and rats given higher doses of curcumin showed better performance than those given lower doses. These findings suggest that curcumin might have the same neuroprotective effect on men that could benefit our brain and central nervous system function.
