Health Benefits of Curcumin

Health Benefits of Curcumin

Complementary and alternative medicine and therapies
Alternative Medicine

With the increase in the incidence of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancers as one lives longer, healthy ageing has become a concern. Curcumin, derived from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, can combat oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune dysregulation, and help control age-related pathologies. The book Health Benefits of Curcumin describes the unique structural features of curcumin, which make it a promising antiviral agent for combating the COVID-19 pandemic, treating Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and potentially treating cancer patients using novel nano-curcumin delivery systems with multi-targeting capabilities. Finally, the book discusses how to break the immunosuppressive environment of the tumour microbiome, which the tumour uses to survive, by using curcumin-induced gut microbiota metabolites.
