User Reviews for turmeric

Haven't noticed any relief

I have been using doTerra Essential Oils. 2 drops of turmeric & 2 drops of Copaiba in a veggie capsule twice a day. I never thought I would be almost pain free again. I can live with the pain i currently have. I do have some stomach upset and diarrhea so will most likely back off to one drop of turmeric. The Copaiba is a magnifying oil so hope to get the same pain relief benefit with lowering amt of turmeric. This should be required prescription by physicians before other medications with far worse side effects.Read More Read Less

Severe symmetrical inflammatory arthritis that effects almost all my joints and have bad muscle pain in legs and arms. It was making me suicidal from the limits the pain put on my life. I take 1000 mg morning and 1000 in evening. Had to quit injections after tree fell on me and broke 40 bones. Bones do not properly heal with steroids. Took about a month to help but works much better than ibuprofen which I have completely quit. I do not need to resume most of my steroid injections and methotrexate. Started this after reading Webmd and reviews. My doctor was not aware of Turmeric Curcumin Complex. He was getting ready to start me on Lyrica which pharmacist says is scary and to stay away from. I'm one satisfied guy.Read More Read Less

I have arthritis throughout my body and both knees are bone-on-bone. I also have a lot of tendon pain from various heavy jobs I've done. And I'm getting old so I have less stamina. I'm very sensitive to prescription drugs so finding a pain reliever was very difficult. My doctor recommended turmeric. After 3 weeks of taking the spice from my spice cabinet my pain was substantially diminished. Very impressive. I have a sensitivity to capsules so I mix a half teaspoon with a couple of teaspoons of applesauce twice daily. I switched to a Sam's Club brand and believe it is not as effective as my 30 year old Schilling spice. I plan to continue testing with a product from a health food store until I decide what is best for me. I put a little extra pepper on my food to help the turmeric enter my body. Taking it once daily didn't seem to work as well as taking it twice daily in smaller amounts. I have noticed other areas of physical improvement that I might attribute to the turmeric but can't be sure. Plus, I am a born skeptic so this product has truly surprised me. Read More Read Less

Chronic low back pain after 2 surgeries. Took 800mg Ibuprofen till it put erosions in my stomach. Now with 2700mg turmeric with black pepper extract (Bioperine) taken 2x daily, the relief is BETTER than the ibuprofen ever gave!! I take the 900mg caps, 3 in the morning and 3 at night.

I have low back and neck pain. I am a pain specialist and recommend this for patients with kidney disease who can't take motrin or other nsaids. recommend 2000 mg per day. I have no side effects.

I took one capsule morning and evening for 2 months. I had great results and the problem went away

I’m a weightlifter, and my Dad told me about Tumeric after a bad lifting injury ruptured a few disks in my spine, and snapped a few of my ribs in half. I took curcumin capsules with bioperine, and added turmeric to my diet. I felt like it helped a bit with inflammation, but it wasnâ??t much and Iâ??m honestly not sure it really helped. Didnâ??t do anything for pain. On the plus side, I now enjoy the taste enough to include it in my cooking and itâ??s supposed to prevent cancer. Even if I donâ??t think it helps, it probably wonâ??t hurt.Read More Read Less

middle muscle back pain

Took FutureYou 500mg 100mg Curcumin per day for arthritis pain. For a month I noticed not change but after 6 weeks I had hardly any pain at all and could move freely. However, after 6 weeks also I have developed almost psychotic rages, which appear to come out of nowhere. I can find nothing on the web which indicates psychosis as a side-effect of Turmeric use, but, as the chemical has an effect on the brain, wonder if this is a side-effect. I would hate to go back to the arthritis pain but will lose my friends, family and job if I continue like this.Read More Read Less

Turmeric with Meriva controls about 95% of my hip pain. Turmeric or curcumin without Meriva does not do very much for me.

took it and my inr went up to 4.9

I originally started drinking 1 cup of soy milk with one teaspoon of turmeric (powder). As far as is it working, my lab report from my kidney doctor me my report looked very good. Have not had my lab done by my primary doctor so as far as is it working I really don't. I feel better so I have to wait and see if it has helped with my diabetes.

I sincerely do not think that it was a coincidennce as the first two days I took a pill of curcuma lunga for pain in my right shoulder joint, I ended up with pain all along my sciatic nerve down my right leg, something which never happens to me! The next day, it happened in my two legs. I did not take a third pill as I was unable to sleep both nights. I was pain free during the night following not taking my third pill. Could I perhaps be allergic to turmeric? My right arm is not totally pain free but not as bad as it was. MRead More Read Less

I install tile for a living. The pain in my shoulders was so severe, I thought I was going to require surgery.tried everything I thought would work with NO results. Work was painful, golf and bowling, torture. My father had mentioned tumeric for joint pain and I scoffed. Voodoo medicine, I thought. Bought the powder online and within 1 week I believe I was damn near pain free. Sounds crazy. I've NEVER recommended anything before. I was born a skeptic. Just last week I turned my buddy, a stonemason, on to it. And, within a week his shoulders we're pain free. Fish oil?, didn't help. Glucosamine Chondroitin?, Nothing. Wasn't about to stroke out eating Ibuprofen all day. I would never have believed it. At first I took 1 tsp. in a warm glass of milk 4-6 oz. with a little black pepper. 1 in the morning and 1 at night. Now it's maintenance. 1 every other day or sometimes longer depending on what my body tells me. Pain free for 2 years now. That's a gift. I buy Starwest Botanicals Tumeric.Read More Read Less

For me it helps comparitavily to naproxen otc.

I took Turmeric with black pepper for about a year for shoulder pain. Although it took a while for me to feel improvement it did ease the pain and eventually totally relieved the pain. The pain came back somewhat when I stopped taking it but after another 3-4 months of taking it again I do not feel any significant pain. I have been pain free for about 6 months. I can't remember the brand name but I got it at my local health food store.
