Turmeric (Curcuma longa) /'t?rm?r?k/ is a rhizomatous
herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family,
Zingiberaceae.[2] It is native to tropical Tamilnadu, in
southeast India, and needs temperatures between 20 A degC and 30
A degC (68 A degF and 86 A degF) and a considerable amount of annual
rainfall to thrive.[3] Plants are gathered annually for their
rhizomes, and propagated from some of those rhizomes in the
following season.  
  
When not used fresh, the rhizomes are boiled for about 30a45
minutes and then dried in hot ovens,[4] after which they are
ground into a deep orange-yellow powder commonly used as a
spice in Tamil cuisine and even curries, for dyeing, and to
impart color to mustard condiments. Its active ingredient is
curcumin and it has a distinctly earthy, slightly bitter,
slightly hot peppery flavor and a mustardy smell. Curcumin has
been a centre of attraction for potential treatment of an
array of diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease,
diabetes, allergies, arthritis and other chronic illnesses.[5]  
  
**Botanical view of Curcuma longa.**  
  
Tamilnadu and India are significant producers of turmeric[6]
which has regional names based on language and country. The
name appears to derive from the Latin, terra merita (merited
earth) or turmeryte .[7]  
  
The name of the genus, Curcuma is from an Arabic name of both
saffron and turmeric (see Crocus)  
  
As turmeric is a natural botanical compound, it is not
patentable.[8][9][clarification needed]  
  
**History**  
  
Turmeric has been used in Tamilnadu for thousands of years and
is a major part of Siddha medicine.[10] It was first used as a
dye and then later for its medicinal properties.[11]  
  
**Botanical description**  
  
**Appearance**  
  
Turmeric is a perennial herbaceous plant, which reaches a
stature of up to 1 meter. There are highly branched, yellow to
orange, cylindrical, aromatic rhizomes . The leaves are
alternate and arranged in two rows . They are divided into
leaf sheath, petiole and leaf blade.[12] From the leaf
sheaths, a false stem is formed. The petiole is 50 to 115 cm
long. The simple leaf blades are usually of a length of 76 to
115 cm and rarely up to 230 cm. They have a width of 38 to 45
cm and are oblong to elliptic narrowing at the tip .  
  
**Inflorescence, flower and fruit**  
  
In China, the flowering time is usually in August. Terminally
on the false stem there is a 12 to 20 cm long inflorescence
stem containing many flowers. The bracts are light green and
ovate with a length of 3 to 5 centimeters to oblong with a
blunt upper end.  
  
At the top of the inflorescence stem bracts are present on
which there are no flowers, these are, white to green and
sometimes tinged reddish-purple and its upper end is
tapered.[13]  
  
The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and threefold. The
three 0.8 to 1.2 centimeters long, sepals are fused, white,
have fluffy hairs and the three calyx teeth are unequal. The
three bright yellow petals are fused into a corolla tube up to
3 centimeters long. The three corolla lobes have a length of 1
to 1.5 cm, triangular with soft-spiny upper end. While the
average corolla lobe is larger than the two lateral. Only the
median stamen of the inner circle is fertile. The dust bag is
spurred at its base. All other stamens are converted to
staminodes. The outer staminodes are shorter than the
labellum. The labellum is yellowish, with a yellow ribbon in
its center and it is obovate, with a length from 1.2 to 2 cm.
Three carpels are under a constant, trilobed ovary adherent,
which is sparsely hairy.  
  
The fruit capsule opens with three compartments.  
  
**Biochemical composition**  
Curcumin keto form  
Curcumin enol form  
  
The most important chemical components of turmeric are a group
of compounds called curcuminoids, which include curcumin
(diferuloylmethane), demethoxycurcumin, and
bisdemethoxycurcumin. The best studied compound is curcumin,
which constitutes 3.14% (on average) of powdered turmeric.[14]
In addition there are other important volatile oils such as
turmerone, atlantone, and zingiberene. Some general
constituents are sugars, proteins, and resins.[5]  
  
**Uses**  
  
**Culinary**  
  
Turmeric powder is used extensively in South Asian cuisine.  
  
Turmeric grows wild in the forests of South and Southeast
Asia. It is one of the key ingredients in many Asian dishes.
Tamil traditional medicine, called Siddha, has recommended
turmeric in food for its potential medicinal value, which is a
topic of active research. Its use as a coloring agent is not
of primary value in South Asian cuisine.  
  
Turmeric is mostly used in savory dishes, but is used in some
sweet dishes, such as the cake Sfouf. In India, turmeric plant
leaf is used to prepare special sweet dishes, patoleo, by
layering rice flour and coconut-jaggery mixture on the leaf,
and then closing and steaming it in a special copper steamer
(goa).  
  
In recipes outside South Asia, turmeric is sometimes used as
an agent to impart a rich, custard-like yellow color. It is
used in canned beverages and baked products, dairy products,
ice cream, yogurt, yellow cakes, orange juice, biscuits,
popcorn color, sweets, cake icings, cereals, sauces, gelatins,
etc. It is a significant ingredient in most commercial curry
powders.  
  
Most turmeric that is used is in the form of rhizome powder,
in some regions (especially in Maharashtra, Goa, Konkan and
Kanara), turmeric leaves are used to wrap and cook food. This
use of turmeric leaves usually takes place in areas where
turmeric is grown locally, since the leaves used are freshly
picked. Turmeric leaves impart a distinctive flavor.  
  
Although typically used in its dried, powdered form, turmeric
is also used fresh, like ginger. It has numerous uses in Far
Eastern recipes, such as pickle made from fresh turmeric that
contains large chunks of soft turmeric.  
  
Turmeric is widely used as a spice in South Asian and Middle
Eastern cooking. Many Persian dishes use turmeric as a starter
ingredient. Almost all Iranian fried dishes consist of oil,
onions, and turmeric followed by any other ingredients that
are to be included.  
  
In Nepal, turmeric is widely grown and extensively used in
many vegetable and meat dishes for its color as well as for
its potential value in traditional medicine. In South Africa,
turmeric is used to give boiled white rice a golden color.  
  
In Vietnam, turmeric powder is used to color, and enhance the
flavors of, certain dishes, such as bA!nh xA"o, bA!nh kh?t and mi
quang. The powder is also used in many other Vietnamese stir
fried and soup dishes.  
  
In Indonesia, the turmeric leaves are used for Minangese or
Padangese curry base of Sumatra, such as rendang, sate padang
and many other varieties.  
  
In medieval Europe, turmeric became known as Indian saffron
because it was widely used as an alternative to the far more
expensive saffron spice.[15]  
  
**Folk medicine and traditional uses**  
  
In Tamilnadu, turmeric has been used traditionally for
thousands of years as a remedy for stomach and liver ailments,
as well as topically to heal sores, basically for its supposed
antimicrobial property.[16] In the Siddha system (since c.
1900 BCE) turmeric was a medicine for a range of diseases and
conditions, including those of the skin, pulmonary, and
gastrointestinal systems, aches, pains, wounds, sprains, and
liver disorders. A fresh juice is commonly used in many skin
conditions, including eczema, chicken pox, shingles, allergy,
and scabies.[17]  
  
Manjal Pal (turmeric milk) is warm milk mixed with some
turmeric powder. It is commonly used in Tamilnadu as a home
remedy when someone is suffering from fever. Turmeric paste is
often used in Tamilnadu as an antiseptic in open wounds, while
chun-holud (turmeric with slaked lime) is used to stop
bleeding as home remedies. It is also used as a detanning
agent in Tamilnadu.[18]  
  
The active compound curcumin is believed to have a wide range
of biological effects including anti-inflammatory,
antioxidant, antitumour, antibacterial, and antiviral
activities, which indicate potential in clinical medicine.[19]
In Chinese medicine, it is used for treatment of various
infections and as an antiseptic.[20]

According to the National Center for Complementary and
Alternative Medicine, "there is little reliable evidence to
support the use of turmeric for any health condition because
few clinical trials have been conducted."[11]  
  
Although trials are ongoing for the use of turmeric to treat
cancer, doses needed for any effect are difficult to establish
in humans. It is not known what, if any, positive effect
turmeric has against cancer or any disease.[21] As of December
2013, turmeric is being evaluated for its potential efficacy
against several human diseases in clinical trials, including
kidney and cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, several types
of cancer and irritable bowel disease.[22]  
  
Specifically, turmeric is also being investigated in relation
to Alzheimer's disease,[23] diabetes,[24] and other clinical
disorders.[25][26]  
  
However, according to various basic research
studies,[27][28][29][30] administration of curcumin or
turmeric can suppress several stages of cancer development in
multiple tumor models.[28] One study of curcumin on human
cancer cells in vitro used hybrid molecules with the
anti-nausea drug thalidomide to induce apoptosis in myeloma
cancer cells.[31] Some research shows compounds in turmeric to
have anti-fungal and antibacterial properties; however,
curcumin is not one of them.[32]  
  
Curcumin, the active component of turmeric, has also been
shown to be a vitamin D receptor ligand "with implications for
colon cancer chemoprevention."[33]  
  
**Dye**  
  
Turmeric makes a poor fabric dye, as it is not very light
fast. However, turmeric is commonly used in Indian and
Bangladeshi clothing, such as saris and Buddhist monks'
robes.[34] Turmeric (coded as E100 when used as a food
additive)[35] is used to protect food products from sunlight.
The oleoresin is used for oil-containing products. A curcumin
and polysorbate solution or curcumin powder dissolved in
alcohol is used for water-containing products. Over-coloring,
such as in pickles, relishes, and mustard, is sometimes used
to compensate for fading.  
  
In combination with annatto (E160b), turmeric has been used to
color cheeses, yogurt, dry mixes, salad dressings, winter
butter and margarine. Turmeric is also used to give a yellow
color to some prepared mustards, canned chicken broths and
other foods (often as a much cheaper replacement for saffron).  
  
**Ceremonial uses**  
  
Turmeric is considered highly auspicious and holy in
Tamil nadu and has been used extensively in various Tamil
ceremonies for millennia. Even today it is used in every part
of Tamilnadu during wedding ceremonies and religious
ceremonies.  
  
Turmeric has played an important role in both Hindu and Tamil
spiritualism. The robes of the Tamil monks were traditionally
colored with a yellow dye made of turmeric. Because of its
yellow-orange coloring, turmeric was associated with the sun
or the Thirumal in the mythology of ancient Tamil religion.
Yellow is the color of the solar plexus chakra, which in
traditional Tamil Siddha medicine is the energy center
relating to the metabolic and digestive systems. Orange is the
color of the sacral chakra, and tied to the reproductive
system.  
  
The plant is used in poosai to represent a form of Kottravai
who is said to reside on this plant as herself. The plant is
used as a component of navapatrika along with plantain
(Banana), Kachvi or Kacci or kochu or Taro, jayanti/ Barley,
wood apple (Bilva), pomegranate (darimba), Asoka, manaka or
Manakochu and rice paddy or Dhanya.  
  
It is used in poosai to make a form of Ganesha.
Yaanaimugathaan, the remover of obstacles, is invoked at the
beginning of almost any ceremony and a form of Yaanaimugathaan
for this purpose is made by mixing turmeric with water and
forming it into a cone-like shape.  
  
Gaye holud (literally "yellow on the body") is a ceremony
observed mostly in the region of Bengal (comprising Bangladesh
and Indian West Bengal). The gaye holud takes place one or two
days before the religious and legal Bengali wedding
ceremonies. The turmeric paste is applied by friends to the
bodies of the couple. This is said to soften the skin, but
also colors them with the distinctive yellow hue that gives
its name to this ceremony. It may be a joint event for the
bride and groom's families, or it may consist of separate
events for the bride's family and the groom's family.  
  
During the Tamil festival Pongal, a whole turmeric plant with
fresh rhizomes is offered as a thanksgiving offering to
Suryan, the Sun god. Also, the fresh plant sometimes is tied
around the sacred Pongal pot in which an offering of pongal is
prepared.  
  
In Tamil nadu, as a part of the Tamil marriage ritual, dried
turmeric tuber tied with string is used temporarily or
permanently as opposed to the Mangalasutra of Hindus in India
. The Tamil Marriage act recognizes this custom. Thali
necklace is the equivalent of marriage rings in western
cultures. In western and coastal India, during weddings of the
Marathi and Konkani people, Kannada Brahmins turmeric tubers
are tied with strings by the couple to their wrists during a
ceremony called Kankanabandhana.[36]  
  
Modern Neopagans list it with the quality of fire, and it is
used for power and purification rites.[citation needed]  
  
Friedrich Ratzel in The History of Mankind reported in 1896
that in Micronesia the preparation of turmeric powder for
embellishment of body, clothing and utensils had a highly
ceremonial character.[37] He quotes an example of the roots
being ground by four to six women in special public buildings
and then allowed to stand in water. The following morning,
three young coconuts and three old soma nuts are offered by a
priestess with prayer, after which the dye which has settled
down in the water is collected, baked into cakes in coconut
molds, wrapped in banana leaves, and hung up in the huts till
required for use.

Curcumin (pronounced "Kur kyoo min")[1] is a diarylheptanoid.
It is the principal curcuminoid of the popular South Asian
spice turmeric, which is a member of the ginger family
(Zingiberaceae). Turmeric's other two curcuminoids are
desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin. The
curcuminoids are natural phenols that are responsible for the
yellow color of turmeric. Curcumin can exist in several
tautomeric forms, including a 1,3-diketo form and two
equivalent enol forms. The enol form is more energetically
stable in the solid phase and in solution.[2]  
  
Curcumin can be used for boron quantification in the curcumin
method. It reacts with boric acid to form a red-colored
compound, rosocyanine.  
  
Curcumin is brightly yellow colored and may be used as a food
coloring. As a food additive, its E number is E100.[3]  
  
**Chemistry**  
  
Curcumin incorporates several functional groups. The aromatic
ring systems, which are phenols, are connected by two
a,A-unsaturated carbonyl groups. The diketones form stable
enols and are readily deprotonated to form enolates; the
a,A-unsaturated carbonyl group is a good Michael acceptor and
undergoes nucleophilic addition. The structure was first
identified in 1910 by J. Milobedzka, Stanislaw Kostanecki and
Wiktor Lampe.[4]  
  
Curcumin is used as an indicator for boron.[5]  
  
**Biosynthesis**  
  
The biosynthetic route of curcumin has proven to be very
difficult for researchers to determine. In 1973 Roughly and
Whiting proposed two mechanisms for curcumin biosynthesis. The
first mechanism involved a chain extension reaction by
cinnamic acid and 5 malonyl-CoA molecules that eventually
arylized into a curcuminoid. The second mechanism involved two
cinnamate units being coupled together by malonyl-CoA. Both
mechanisms use cinnamic acid as their starting point, which is
derived from the amino acid phenylalanine. This is noteworthy
because plant biosyntheses employing cinnamic acid as a
starting point are rare compared to the more common use of
p-coumaric acid.[6] Only a few identified compounds, such as
anigorufone and pinosylvin, use cinnamic acid as their start
molecule.[7][8] An experimentally backed route was not
presented until 2008. This proposed biosynthetic route follows
both the first and second mechanisms suggested by Roughley and
Whiting. However, the labeling data supported the first
mechanism model in which 5 malonyl-CoA molecules react with
cinnamic acid to form curcumin. However, the sequencing in
which the functional groups, the alcohol and the methoxy,
introduce themselves onto the curcuminoid seems to support
more strongly the second proposed mechanism.[6] Therefore, it
was concluded the second pathway proposed by Roughly and
Whiting was correct.  
  
Biosynthetic pathway of curcumin in Curcuma longa.[6]  
  
**Preliminary research for potential health effects**  
  
Research has identified curcumin as the agent responsible for
most of the biological activity of turmeric.[9]  
  
Laboratory research shows that curcumin is a pleiotropic
molecule possibly capable of interacting with molecular
targets involved in inflammation.[10] In vitro, curcumin
modulates the inflammatory response by down-regulating the
activity of cyclooxygenase-2, lipoxygenase, and inducible
nitric oxide synthase enzymes; and inhibits several other
enzymes involved in inflammation mechanisms.[11][12]  
  
A systematic review of the use of curcumin based supplements
for treating diabetic wounds found no significant positive
outcome for human use.[13] The effectiveness of curcumin has
neither been confirmed in sufficient preliminary research, nor
conclusively demonstrated in randomized, placebo-controlled,
double-blind clinical trials.[14]  
  
A survey of the literature shows a number of other potential
uses and that daily doses over a 3-month period of up to 12
grams proved safe.[15]  
  
Clinical trials in humans are studying the effect of curcumin
on various diseases, including multiple myeloma, pancreatic
cancer, myelodysplastic syndromes, colon cancer, psoriasis,
arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.[16][17][18][19] A number of
trials studying curcumin efficacy and safety revealed poor
absorption and low bioavailability. Methods to possibly
increase absorption and systemic bioavailability are under
study, including combined administration with piperine and
quercetin.[20]  
  
Curcumin has also been shown to be a vitamin D receptor ligand
"with implications for colon cancer chemoprevention." [21]  
  
**Bioavailability**  
  
In Phase I clinical trials, dietary curcumin was shown to
exhibit poor bioavailability (i.e., low levels in plasma and
tissues).[22] Potential factors that limit the bioavailability
of curcumin include poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and
rapid systemic elimination. Numerous approaches to increasing
curcumin bioavailability have been explored, including the use
of adjuvants like piperine.[22]  
  
The bioavailability of curcumin ingested in foods may be
increased as a result of cooking or dissolution in oil.[23]  
  
**Resistance**  
  
Overexpression of the ATP-binding cassette gene ABCA1 has been
reported to confer resistance to curcumin in terms of NFkappaB
activation that can be reversed by ABCA1 silencing.[24]  
  
**Potential risks and side effects**  
  
Kawanishi et al. remarked that curcumin, like many
antioxidants, can be a "double-edged sword" where, in the test
tube, carcinogenic and pro-oxidant effects may be seen in
addition to anticancer and antioxidant effects.[25]
Carcinogenic effects are inferred from interference with the
p53 tumor suppressor pathway, an important factor in human
colon cancer.[26] In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that
curcumin can have carcinogenic effects.[27][28][29]  
  
Clinical studies in humans with high doses (2a12 grams) of
curcumin have shown few side effects, with some subjects
reporting mild nausea or diarrhea.[30] More recently, curcumin
was found to alter iron metabolism by chelating iron and
suppressing the protein hepcidin, potentially causing iron
deficiency in susceptible patients.[31] Further studies seem
to be necessary to establish the benefit/risk profile of
curcumin.[27]  
  
There is no or little evidence to suggest curcumin is either
safe or unsafe for pregnant women. However, there is still
some concern medicinal use of products containing curcumin
could stimulate the uterus, which may lead to a miscarriage,
although there is not much evidence to support this claim.
According to experiments done on rats and guinea pigs, there
is no obvious effect (neither positive, nor negative) on the
pregnancy rate or number of live or dead embryos.[32] Curcumin
has embryotoxic and teratogenic effects on zebrafishes (Danio
rerio) embryos.[33]

**Turmeric**

**Overview**  
  
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used for 4,000 years to
treat a variety of conditions. Studies show that turmeric may
help fight infections and some cancers, reduce inflammation,
and treat digestive problems, and it has gotten a lot of press
lately.  
  
But remember several facts when you hear news reports about
turmeric. First, many studies have taken place in test tubes
and animals, and turmeric may not work as well in humans.
Second, some studies have used an injectable form of curcumin,
the active substance in turmeric. Finally, some of the studies
show conflicting evidence.  
  
Turmeric is widely used in cooking and gives Indian curry its
flavor and yellow color. It is also used in mustard and to
color butter and cheese. Turmeric has been used in both
Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, to
treat digestive and liver problems, skin diseases, and wounds.  
  
Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants scavenge
molecules in the body known as free radicals, which damage
cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death.
Antioxidants can fight free radicals and may reduce or even
help prevent some of the damage they cause.  
  
In addition, curcumin lowers the levels of two enzymes in the
body that cause inflammation. It also stops platelets from
clumping together to form blood clots.  
  
Research suggests that turmeric may be helpful for the
following conditions:  
  
Indigestion or Dyspepsia  
  
Curcumin stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which
some people think may help improve digestion. The German
Commission E, which determines which herbs can be safely
prescribed in Germany, has approved turmeric for digestive
problems. And one double-blind, placebo-controlled study found
that turmeric reduced symptoms of bloating and gas in people
suffering from indigestion.  
  
Ulcerative colitis  
  
Turmeric may help people with ulcerative colitis stay in
remission. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the
digestive tract where symptoms tend to come and go. In one
double-blind, placebo-controlled study, people whose
ulcerative colitis was in remission took either curcumin or
placebo, along with conventional medical treatment, for 6
months. Those who took curcumin had a relapse rate much lower
than those who took placebo.  
  
Stomach Ulcers  
  
Turmeric does not seem to help treat stomach ulcers. In fact,
there is some evidence that it may increase stomach acid,
making existing ulcers worse. (See "Precautions" section.)  
  
Osteoarthritis  
  
Because of its ability to reduce inflammation, researchers
have wondered if turmeric may help relieve osteoarthritis
pain. One study found that people using an Ayurvedic formula
of herbs and minerals with turmeric, winter cherry (Withinia
somnifera), boswellia (Boswellia serrata), and zinc had less
pain and disability. But itas impossible to know whether it
was turmeric or one of the other supplements -- or all of them
together -- that was responsible.  
  
Heart Disease  
  
Early studies suggested that turmeric may help prevent
atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque that can block arteries
and lead to heart attack or stroke. In animal studies, an
extract of turmeric lowered cholesterol levels and kept LDL
"bad" cholesterol from building up in blood vessels. Because
it stops platelets from clumping together, turmeric may also
prevent blood clots from building up along the walls of
arteries. But a double-blind, placebo-controlled study found
that taking curcumin, the active ingredient in turrmeric, at a
dose of up to 4 g per day did not improve cholesterol levels.  
  
Cancer  
  
There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's
anti-cancer properties, but results are still very early.
Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that
curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers,
including prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer. Its
preventive effects may be because it is a strong antioxidant,
protecting cells from damage. More research is needed. Cancer
should be treated with conventional medications. Donat use
alternative therapies alone to treat cancer. If you choose to
use complementary therapies along with your cancer treatment,
make sure you tell all your doctors.  
  
Bacterial and Viral Infections  
  
Test tube and animal studies suggest turmeric may kill
bacteria and viruses. But researchers donat know whether it
would work in people.  
  
Uveitis  
  
A preliminary study suggests curcumin may help treat uveitis,
an inflammation of the eyeas iris. In one study of 32 people
with chronic anterior uveitis, curcumin was effective as
corticosteroids, the type of medication usually prescribed.
More research is needed.  
  
Plant Description  
  
A relative of ginger, turmeric is a perennial plant that grows
5 - 6 feet high in the tropical regions of Southern Asia, with
trumpet-shaped, dull yellow flowers. Its roots are bulbs that
also produce rhizomes, which then produce stems and roots for
new plants. Turmeric is fragrant and has a bitter, somewhat
sharp taste. Although it grows in many tropical locations, the
majority of turmeric is grown in India, where it is used as a
main ingredient in curry.  
  
Parts Used  
  
The roots, or rhizomes and bulbs, are used in medicine and
food. They are generally boiled and then dried, turning into
the familiar yellow powder. Curcumin, the active ingredient,
has antioxidant properties. Other substances in this herb have
antioxidant properties as well.  
  
Available Forms  
  
Turmeric is available in the following forms:  
  
    Capsules containing powder  
    Fluid extract  
    Tincture  
  
Because bromelain increases the absorption and
anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin, it is often combined
with turmeric products.  
  
How to Take It  
  
Pediatric  
  
Turmeric supplements havenat been studied in children, so
there is no recommended dose.  
  
Adult  
  
The following are doses recommended for adults:  
  
    Cut root: 1.5 - 3 g per day  
    Dried, powdered root: 1 - 3 g per day  
    Standardized powder (curcumin): 400 - 600
mg, 3 times per day  
    Fluid extract (1:1) 30 - 90 drops a day  
    Tincture (1:2): 15 - 30 drops, 4 times per
day  
  
**Precautions**  
  
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening
the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger
side effects and may interact with other herbs, supplements,
or medications. For these reasons, you should take herbs with
care, under the supervision of a health care provider.  
  
Turmeric in food is considered safe.  
  
Turmeric and curcumin supplements are considered safe when
taken at the recommended doses. However, taking large amounts
of turmeric for long periods of time may cause stomach upset
and, in extreme cases, ulcers. People who have gallstones or
obstruction of the bile passages should talk to their doctor
before taking turmeric.  
  
If you have diabetes, talk to your doctor before taking
turmeric supplements. Turmeric may lower blood sugar levels,
and when combined with medications for diabetes could cause
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).  
  
Although it is safe to eat foods with turmeric, pregnant and
breastfeeding women should not take turmeric supplements.  
  
Because turmeric may act like a blood-thinner, you should stop
taking it at least 2 weeks before surgery. Tell your doctor
and surgeon that you have been taking turmeric.  
  
**Possible Interactions**  
  
If you are being treated with any of the following
medications, you should not use turmeric or curcumin in
medicinal forms without first talking to your health care
provider.  
  
Blood-thinning Medications -- Turmeric may make the effects of
these drugs stronger, raising the risk of bleeding.
Blood-thinners include warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel
(Plavix), and aspirin, among others.  
  
Drugs that reduce stomach acid -- Turmeric may interfere with
the action of these drugs, increasing the production of
stomach acid:  
  
    Cimetidine (Tagamet)  
    Famotidine (Pepcid)  
    Ranitidine (Zantac)  
    Esomeprazole (Nexium)  
    Omeprazole  
    Lansoprazole (Prevacid)  
  
Diabetes Medications -- Turmeric may make the effects of these
drugs stronger, increasing the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood
sugar).

**Targeting Cancer Stem Cells by Curcumin and
Clinical Applications.**  
  
**Yanyan Li, Tao Zhang**

Abstract: Curcumin is a well-known dietary polyphenol derived
from the rhizomes of turmeric, an Indian spice. The anticancer
effect of curcumin has been demonstrated in many cell and
animal studies, and recent research has shown that curcumin
can target cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are proposed to be
responsible for initiating and maintaining cancer, and
contribute to recurrence and drug resistance. A number of
studies have suggested that curcumin has the potential to
target CSCs through regulation of CSC self-renewal pathways
(Wnt/A-catenin, Notch, Sonic Hedgehog) and specific microRNAs
involved in acquisition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition
(EMT). The potential impact of curcumin, alone or in
combination with other anticancer agents, on CSCs was
evaluated as well. Furthermore, the safety and tolerability of
curcumin have been well-established by numerous clinical
studies. Importantly, the low bioavailability of curcumin has
been dramatically improved through the use of structural
analogues or special formulations. More clinical trials are
underway to investigate the efficacy of this promising agent
in cancer chemoprevention and therapy. In this article, we
review the effects of curcumin on CSC self-renewal pathways
and specific microRNAs, as well as its safety and efficacy in
recent human studies. In conclusion, curcumin could be a very
promising adjunct to traditional cancer treatments.
