This article is the first known to this author to evaluate curcumin for PMS, which is surprising, given curcumin’s known effects on neurotransmitter levels and inflammation, both of which are involved in the pathophysiology of PMS. In their discussion, the authors do a nice job summarizing the pathophysiology of PMS related to neurotransmitter release and inflammation, and also the studies measuring curcumin’s effect on each.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disorder that can significantly affect patient quality of life. Previous studies have found that curcumin had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and clinical benefits in cancer and asthma.

Turmeric, a spice that has long been recognized for its medicinal properties, has received interest from both the medical/scientific world and from culinary enthusiasts, as it is the major source of the polyphenol curcumin.
