Turmeric is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory herbs. It works by keeping naturally occurring levels of cortisone at higher blood levels, thus producing a systemic anti-inflammatory effect. This can help conditions ranging from all auto immune disorders (MS, lupus, psoriasis, asthma, and arthritis) to any condition where cortico-steroid drug use in indicated. This includes Crohn's disease, colitis, and bursitis.
