Is Turmeric Effective In Treating Memory Issues?

I had heard that Turmeric helps with memory. I do have short term memory, (very short-term). I also have many neurological problems. I bought the turmeric Curcumin in standardized Extract (vitamin formula) I noticed from you site, it will help with many other things that I have, headaches, a lot of inflammation, etc.

General Surgeon, Dr. Shinas Hussain's Response

Hello,

The antioxidants contained in the turmeric can provide some symptomatic relief, however complete recovery is unlikely.

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. We have to rule out other possibilities like Alzheimer’s disease also.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
