Turmeric is one of Mother Nature's top healing compounds and studies have shown that curcumin, the
active ingredient in turmeric, can ameliorate certain autoimmune conditions by regulating
inflammatory signals.
During the 2008 relapse, the researchers found that immune cells in tissues with
active colitis produced large quantities of an
inflammatory signaling molecule named interluekin - 17 (IL - 17), but very little IL - 22, the latter of which has been linked to wound healing and mucus production.
