Prescription drugs are the first aid you reach for when dealing with headaches, back and joint pain.

Although some of the drugs can do the trick and help you, most of them come packed with a terrifying list of side-effects like stroke, heart attack, nausea, constipation, gastrointestinal problems, and others the like.

You may be well aware of the potential of turmeric, but do you know that science has proven it to be more powerful than numerous drugs when it comes to relieving pain?

Here is a brief list, and we can only imagine your surprise:

1. Lipitor / Astorvastatin (Cholesterol medication)

According to a survey from the R&D Journal for Drugs, turmeric is more effective than Lipitor when it comes to endothelial dysfunction, which is an underlying pathology of blood vessels that relieves inflammations and oxidative stress in individuals who deal with type 2 diabetes.

2. Corticosteroids (Steroid drugs)

Phytotherapy Research Journal published a study according to which curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, works better than steroids in cases of inflammatory eye disease. As you already know, corticosteroids come packed with some unpleasant side effects.

3. Prozac / Fluoxetine & Imipramine (Antidepressant)

A study from the Acta Pharmaceutica Polonie Journal showed that turmeric reduces depressive behavior in a much better way than these health-harming drugs.

4. Aspirin (Blood thinner)

Science has proven that turmeric can aid in the treatment of patients with vascular thrombosis and individuals who need anti-arthritis therapy.

5. Oxaliplatin (Chemo drug)

According to the International Cancer Journal, turmeric is as effective as oxaliplatin, and it can act as an anti-proliferative agent.

6. Anti-inflammatory drugs

Another study that was published in the Oncogene journal showed that turmeric is a more powerful anti-inflammatory than aspirin, ibuprofen, sulindac, phenylbutazone, Naproxen, Indomethacin, diclofenac, dexmethasone,  celecoxib, and Tamoxifen.

7. Metformin (Diabetes drug)

A study from the Biochemistry and Biophysical Journal confirmed that turmeric can help diabetics. The yellowish spice activates AMPK and stimulates the uptake of glucose.

It also suppresses glucose formation in hematoma cells. This research revealed that turmeric is 500-1,000 times more powerful than metformin when it comes to activating AMPK.

The FDA introduced some changes in their warnings about the potential risks of many drugs, and the possibility of heart attacks and strokes. Manufacturers of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are now required to provide more accurate information regarding any potential risks on their labels.

Pain will just take you to the nearest bottle of painkillers, but be aware of the risk you are exposing yourself to.

Turmeric has been used as natural painkiller for so long, and now it has confirmed its effectiveness and safety. Polyphenols in turmeric provide an endless list of health benefits.

Turmeric is natural, safe, powerful, cheap and available. Could you ask for more?

Curcumin gives turmeric its anti-inflammatory potential. It is also a mighty antioxidant that relieves inflammation, which is why turmeric is used in the treatment of arthritis, heartburn, stomach ache, diarrhea, liver malfunction, gallbladder problems and many more.

So, throw away your pills and switch to natural remedies. Also watch the video below and see how to use turmeric as a medicine:
