Sciatica is a condition that results from a pinched nerve in
the lower back and people suffering from this condition say that the pain is
quite uncomfortable, sometimes even unbearable. The most common course of
treatment would be a chiropractic visit and some simple yoga postures, but
there is an even more effective way to eliminate the pain and feel much better.
Reverse Sciatica Pain With Turmeric
As we all know, turmeric is one of the most beneficial
spices with a potent anti-inflammatory effect, which is useful in the case of
sciatica because the condition is caused by an inflammation of the sciatic
nerve. Turmeric can reduce inflammation and help alleviate pain by reducing
your levels of inflammation-causing enzyme
If you want to relieve pain and reduce inflammation take
300mg of turmeric 3 times a day. It can be consumed as a tea, used in the
kitchen or applied topically as a paste.
In traditional Ayurvedic culture, turmeric has been used in
the treatment of arthritis for centuries and surprising results. According to a
study conducted by Malaysian scientists, turmeric extract can alleviate nerve
pain.
Safer turmeric and more effective than NSAIDs
One of the most unique anti-inflammatory properties of
turmeric is that it can selectively block "COX-2" (an enzyme
responsible for inflammation) without affecting COX-1, which is crucial to
maintaining the lining of the stomach. Unlike turmeric, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen do not
have this ability and inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes to stop
inflammation. And since they disrupt COX-1 too, using them in the long run can
lead to some digestive problems
Pharmaceutical companies have spent a fortune on research in
an effort to find a formula that could selectively inhibit COX-2 without
affecting COX-1, but so far they have not been successful in their efforts.
Natural remedies are a better choice however you look at it,
they are effective and they do not have side effects. Why spend money on
medicines when you can only include turmeric in your diet and take advantage of
all its benefits.
