Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Highlights Curcumin's Benefit for Neurological Diseases
4000 years of consumption. That is quite a history! Curcumin has it. (Chiropractic delights in its 125-year history!) Curcumin’s history of dietary use in Eastern countries like China and India offers much data to researchers to examine just what an impact it makes on disease. And there’s a difference! Curcumin as an anti-inflammatory substance is gaining credit for positive influence on neurological diseases, cell death, and pain. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic continues to study curcumin’s positive role in potential inflammation and Fernandina Beach back pain reduction.
CURCUMIN HISTORY
Curcumin has an expansive history of use going back 4000 years (1) yet a shorter history of use in present day for its ability to modulate levels of various brain neurotransmitters along with stopping cell death. Curcumin influences inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and enzymes. (2) Ten years ago researchers posited that curcumin may well be a “future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders.” Diabetic neuropathy, tardive dyskinesia, and major depression are a few of those such orders. They requested additional clinical studies back then to put curcumin into therapeutic use due to its “neuroprotective action” in diseases like Alzheimer’s, tardive dyskinesia, major depression, epilepsy, and other such neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may contribute to its neuroprotectiveness. Curcumin’s ability to reduce or stop reactive astrocyte expression and thus preventing cell death is advantageous. (3) Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor understands the role of cell death in degenerative spinal conditions like disc disease and values the potential curcumin has in addressing cell death and decreasing inflammation and thereby decreasing Fernandina Beach back pain.
CURCUMIN DIET AND SUPPLEMENTATION
What is the optimal way to incorporate curcumin for greatest benefit? Diet and/or supplementation. A curcumin rich diet is written to counteract diseases like cancer and diabetes as well as reduce inflammation. A new paper on curcumin brings to light the role curcumin plays in treating neurological diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis and more). In order to effect more attention to curcumin’s benefits, the authors share the cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical trial outcomes of using curcumin in healthy people and people with such diseases. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic realizes many Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients would like the simpler supplementation route which is quite simple and effective. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic will share what is right for you and your Fernandina Beach chiropractic treatment plan.
