A recently published study showed that a natural compound in turmeric could be effective in treating indigestion.
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin that is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. In Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia, it is often used to alleviate symptoms of dyspepsia, or indigestion.
To test the efficacy of curcumin, researchers in Thailand carried out a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial using the compound and omeprazole, a drug that decreases stomach acid to treat indigestion and other conditions. About 150 people participated through the end of the trial. They got large capsules containing 250 mg of curcumin or placebo and small capsules containing 20 mg of omeprazole or placebo. They were instructed to take two of the large capsules four times each day and one small capsule once per day for 28 days, according to the study.
Their symptoms of indigestion were assessed after 28 and 56 days. By the end of the study, researchers found that “Patients with functional dyspepsia treated with curcumin, curcumin plus omeprazole and omeprazole had similar significant symptomatic improvement.” “In addition to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant purposes, curcumin/turmeric could be an option for treating dyspepsia with comparable efficacy to omeprazole,” said Dr.
