User Reviews for turmeric

I eat a heaping half teaspoon of it twice a day--in the morning on my egg and before I go to bed. In the evening I often stir it into hummus and put it on bread or use as a dip. I am markedly more able to move in the mornings because I eat the evening dose.I also feed it to my arthritic dog. She moves better too.

Was having bad side effects and massive pain in joints and ligaments after chemo. This worked amazingly well to soothe that constant pain. I only took one 500 mg pill and experienced overnight relief. Im a fan. Will continue to fine tune my dosage and routine with my oncologist but this has helped immeasurably.

turmeric has help with my pain in my knees and back

I am an Indian woman I din't know anything much about turmeric growing up but we use it in cooking all the time. Two teaspoon for the whole family in a day is not enough to say anything. When my husband had boils all over the body, my mother in law took a couple of tablespoon of turmeric warmed it up with little water put in a cloth bundle still very warm and gave compression all over the boils for several minutes for a few days. Every boil was cured. When anyone has a cold the remedy would be turmeric ginger and black pepper boiled strained and given to drink like tea. Read More Read Less

I have been taking Turmeric for about 6 months as I researched it's anti-inflammatory properties and found it may help with pain. I was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis last year and have been looking for ways to cope with the pain and avoiding strong narcotics. The Turmeric does seem to help and now I've been taking it long enough to see there is a noticeable difference. I do take 400mg's up to 5x a day, which definitely can be inconvenient, but I have no ill effects in either the gel caps or tablets. I think I will continue taking it because it has seemed to help and would recommend it although it may take several months to see any improvement. Read More Read Less

fibromyalgia on small doses of prednisone. read turmeric might be helpful . experimenting discovered pain almost gone , well feeling energy returned. so helpful it frightened me . tried without, symptoms returned , took it again,, again better, concerned about dosage. GNC has it in1050 mg . too much? every day?

I have been taking 500mg capsules for 2 weeks. No side effects. Waiting to see if it helps with the swelling in my hand after surgery for arthritis. Very easy to take . Will report back in a month

I have been using 500mg of Curcumin every other day for 2 months. I use it to help with depression and mood stabilization. Please do take it with food if you take it. I feel it works as a mild stimulant. I started with daily doses but it really made me feel almost high and goofy, so I cut the dose. The only negative side effect I have observed is mild to bad body odor.

i have knee pain mostly from long standing ang climbing stairs after taking Turmeric for over two weeks the pain was reduced and i can climb stairs wit less difficulty now.

When I experienced very painful hand pain I was told by my pharmacist about Mireva. I helped so much. I only take it now and then when I have inflammation in my hands.

I had been having various inflammatory problems, knees- could barely go down stairs, now I'm exercising on a stepper. I had Shoulder and chest cartilage inflammation which would leave me useless for 4-5 days with difficulty breathing and could be easily provoked by housework, bowling ect. Now I can do these things again. The effect is very fast if I forget to take it daily I can start to get joint pain in a couple days but as soon as I take it, it goes away by the next day.

I have ankylosing spondylitis and even with ibuprofen couldn't sleep longer than 2 or 3 hours. I would wake up unable to move and spend the first half hour of my day stretching in a hot shower. However, after my very first use of turmeric I slept and now, a week later, I wake up pain free and rested for the first time in a very long time.

I've used this product for interstitial cystitis bladder pain and have found it to be the most effective natural supplement I've found. I take 1000 mg of turmeric circumoids 2x a day along with 500 mg of maca ( seems to work synergistically together). The 1000 mg turmeric is a pretty big pill. if you have difficulty swallowing large pills, you may want to get the 500mg and double up. This has really helped me keep the inflammation / irritation down. Along with staying away from acidic drinks such as coffee, chocolate, caffeine in general, alcohol, and soda (an occasional non caffeinated carbonated beverage may be ok). I find that Puritan Pride has the best prices and value.Read More Read Less

I started taking turmeric for allergies and it worked wonderfully!

Helped with minor arthritis in my hands

I have pain in my ankle joint, primarily from inflammation, possible due to arthritis. So far, taking turmeric seems to be lessening the swelling and pain

There are interactions with other medications from turmeric. People need to know what they are and also to stop it 2 wks in advance if having surgery. It is also sold by a multi marketing agent and people that aren't familiar with your health history. Be careful!! Most studies have been done on mice or rats.

I was diagnosed with adult on-set asthma last year, it hasn't bothered me badly until this year, along with my allergies.I don't do well on steroids and hate using the inhaler unless necessary. Two weeks ago I started drinking turmeric tea and it worked. Decided to try turmeric capsules. The capsules take a little longer to kick in but seem to work a little longer than the tea and you don't have to gag it down. I'm able to breathe a lot better. In the past week I've used my inhaler once but I still carry it with me everywhere. Read More Read Less
