Antibiotic Properties Of Turmeric Potentially Useful In Fighting Leprosy

June 09, 2016 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

Orlando, FL – For thousands of years, turmeric has been believed to be a powerful healing spice that has the ability to fight a range of conditions. Its healing ingredients are believed to be responsible for the therapeutic benefits it offers.

Neurologist Carly Fraser explains, "Turmeric guards your stomach by destroying fungus, viruses and bacteria that can cause food poisoning, diarrhea and other diseases." As a result turmeric can potentially help fight the symptoms of various skin conditions from cuts to leprosy. "Turmeric volatile oil is a powerful topical antibiotic that helps prevent infections and sepsis in wounds," Fraser explains in a recent article.

The antibiotic properties of turmeric are potentially useful in fighting leprosy. This infectious disease affects the peripheral nerves and skin as well as damages the progressive debilitation. It is caused by Mycobacterium lepromatosis and Mycobacterium leprae.

The two types of leprosy are Lepromatous leprosy and tuberculoid leprosy. Leprosy, as it is a granulomatous disease, causes the periphery nerves to be smashed. If left untreated on time, it can lead to damage in the bones, limbs, skin, eyes, and nerves.

Lesions are considered to be the most common symptom of leprosy. Lesions typically have a color that is lighter than the skin and they often lasts for more than a week. Individuals with leprosy may also suffer from weakness in the muscles and joints as well as paralysis in the muscles of the face, feet, and hands.

There are pharmaceutical drugs used to fight or treat the condition. However, there are also natural remedies that are believed to be effective in fighting its symptoms.

Nowadays, more and more people are resorting to natural remedies to increase their immunity against a range of conditions and to fight diseases. Turmeric is believed to be one of the most influential medicinal spices.

In Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, turmeric has long been believed to offer a range of health benefits. Today, it is widely used as a kitchen ingredient and for health purposes.

Turmeric has an active ingredient called curcumin, which is a phytochemical. This phytochemical is contains a variety of healing ingredients such as antibiotic, analgesic, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

This medicinal spice, through its antibiotic properties, is believed to help fight leprosy. There are actually many other health benefits associated with its use.

It is believed that the spice can protect the stomach by simply destroying viruses, fungus, and bacteria that could cause diarrhea, food poisoning, and certain types of diseases. It is even used to treat ulcers and wounds.

Turmeric is also a natural alternative to pain management drugs. Due to the widespread scare in the side effects associated with these medications, more and more people are resorted to turmeric supplementation. This is especially true to individuals who suffer from arthritis pain and immobility (http://amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Pepper-Extract/dp/B00VSVKJ8I/).
