Turmeric And Honey To Reduce Joint Pain

In addition to helping us fight bone degeneration and reduce inflammation, both turmeric and honey help strengthen the immune system.

Natural medicine experts say that the simple combination of turmeric and honey is an invaluable remedy. Rich in  antioxidants, vitamins and enzymes, it acts as a powerful natural anti-inflammatory. 

If you often experience joint pain or bone degeneration throughout the day, add this effective remedy to your diet.

Unlike the pain relievers, anti-inflammatories or antibiotics we usually take to reduce pain and fight infections, taking turmeric and honey does not cause any side effects. The liver and intestinal flora will not be affected.

Today in our blog we want to tell you about the great benefits of these two natural ingredients that should never be missing at home.

Turmeric and honey: a millennial remedy

One tablespoon a day of turmeric and honey is enough to take care of your health. To notice improvements in case you suffer from osteoarthritis or arthritis, you have to be consistent. It will be necessary to follow the treatment  for  at least   two weeks in a row. 

Although turmeric has always been widely used in Asian countries, today we can find it everywhere. There are also numerous medical studies that endorse its medicinal properties, useful for treating various ailments.

• According to a study published in 2000 by the Department of Molecular Biology of the University of Granada, curcumin is a very effective natural agent against bacteria.

• Various studies are underway to verify the daily amount of turmeric needed to counteract the accumulation of beta-amyloid proteins. An abnormal production of these proteins is at the basis of the formation of amyloid plaques associated with some degenerative diseases.

• Thanks to its antioxidant power, turmeric is considered an extremely positive natural remedy  for inflammation and for preventing dementia such as Alzheimer’s. 

Let’s see now how it can be useful if we mix it with a little honey.

An anti-inflammatory remedy

• Curcumin together with honey prevents the release of eicosanoids; these are compounds that act as mediators of inflammation and at the same time promote the accumulation of prostaglandins.

• Both turmeric and honey are  effective in fighting bone degeneration. They help control the release of certain proteins that promote inflammation and the deterioration of bone and cartilage.

• Among the most important properties we remember that they have an action similar to that of steroid and non-steroidal drugs.

• Honey and turmeric reduce histamine in our body and increase the production of natural cortisone; they are therefore useful for fighting inflammatory processes without causing any side effects.

Strengthens the immune system

First of all, it must be remembered that to cope with these pains, which limit our daily activities so much, it is important to be able to count on strong and active defenses.

We must also consider that these diseases have no cure; a natural remedy serves, first of all, to have a better quality of life. A very simple thing, like taking honey and turmeric, can be incredibly helpful.

• Turmeric is particularly rich in antioxidant compounds, vitamin C and E which help improve our natural defenses.

• According to a study conducted by the University of Copenhagen, turmeric contains an antimicrobial peptide, known as CAMP; it would help the immune system fight different types of bacteria, viruses and fungi.

• Honey, on the other hand, is a natural antibiotic that has been widely used since ancient times and is equally capable of strengthening our defenses.

However, as we have already said at the beginning, this remedy will only be effective if we are constant in taking it.
