Curcumin Is A Potentially Effective Remedy For Fighting PTSD Symptoms
(firmenpresse) - Orlando, FL–– Curcumin is a powerful healing phytochemical found in turmeric, which is an ancient, medicinal spice. Its use is associated with a myriad of therapeutic effects, and many people today are reaping the benefits believed to be offered by the natural ingredient. Individuals who are struggling to let go of bad memories may also consider finding help through the use of the phytochemical.
Curcumin is a potentially effective remedy for fighting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. These symptoms include reliving a certain traumatic event and avoiding the reminders of the undesirable memory. Individuals who suffer from PTSD may also experience increased anxiety as well as emotional arousal.
“One of the best benefits of using curcumin is that patients get to have not one, but multiple health benefits,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
Glenn Schafe, PhD, a psychology professor at Hunter College in New York, co-authored a study that involved rats as subjects. The study tried to determine whether turmeric offered some positive effects on the rats that were conditioned to fear. The researchers aimed at measuring the efficacy of curcumin for impairing the reconsolidation of a Pavlovian fear memory. This fear memory is an animal-based model of the formation of traumatic memory in PTSD.
According to Schafe, the subject rats fed with curcumin-rich diet experienced impairment in the encoding of fear memories. The researchers also found that the impairment lasted for a long time. They believe curcumin helped with blocking the bad memories from reappearing.
The authors collectively concluded that a diet rich in curcumin has the potential to impair reconsolidation or fear memory. They believed that the findings of the study could play an important role in future clinical trials for PTSD treatment.
Curcumin has long been used to fight a range of conditions such as stomach issues, arthritis, diarrhea, heartburn, and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers believe that curcumin could also be a potential treatment in disorders that involve fear memories such as PTSD.
In a new study, Schafe also suggests that curcumin could impair the formation of fear memories among individuals who have just suffered from a traumatic experience. Curcumin supplements are widely available in the market today, and have been gaining the trust of many scientists as well as individuals who want to improve their overall health condition.
Curcumin supplements with a bioavailability enhancing ingredient such as BioPerine are highly recommended by experts. They are believed to be more effective since the black pepper extract BioPerine can increase curcumin absorption inside the human body (amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
