Is Turmeric Advisable For Joints Pain, Inflammation And Intestinal Bloating?

Thank you. I d like to take Tumeric for joint pain, inflammation, intestinal bloating. This month will be 1 year from when I finished chemo for breast cancer, so for recovery for that as well. I have the powdered spice from the grocery store and thought if I take a teaspoon of it a day, that would be beneficial. I also thought to combine it with a teaspoon of ground ginger. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hello,

You may take turmeric and ginger without having any side effect. However, you may experience gastritis if you take two spices empty stomach.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
