Turmeric "Herbal Medicine for Stroke Patients"

Turmeric has been used for centuries in Indonesia and India as a traditional medicine. Lately, more and more scientific evidence about the benefits of turmeric. One of the most promising research is the efficacy of turmeric help stokes patient recovery.

Turmeric pamor will be more brilliant future. The increasingly intensive modern medicine in research for the effectiveness of the treatment of turmeric. The latest news of drugs derived from turmeric may help the body to repair the damage immediately after a stroke.

Researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, USA is currently preparing to conduct experiments on humans after receiving the results of saffron for the treatment of stroke research is promising. The result has been deployed in the international stroke conference "American Heart Association" recently.
Drugs derived from turmeric have accomplished brain cells and reduces muscle movements and problems of patients undergoing a stroke. This is the first major study shows benefits of turmeric for patients undergoing a stroke by encouraging the growth of new cells and prevent cell death in brain after a stroke, said Dr. Sharlin Ahmed from The Stroke Association, which leads the BBC site.

STOP BLEEDING

The results seemed promising, but Dr. Ahmed said that the result was still too early and have to be tested in humans for more convincing results. so far there is only one drug approved for the modification of the Curcumin with a new version of the CNB-001 can pass through obstacles in the brain. Laboratory tests with rabbits to open results of modified Curcumin may be effective up to three hours after stroke in humans.
Lead researcher Dr. Paul Lapchak, said the drug appeared to save brain cells after stroke survivors. Stroke kills brain cells, because the brain is deprived of his or her blood, which contains oxygen. This caused a chain reaction that would expand the area of brain damage. This will increase the disability incurred by patients undergoing a stroke.

Earlier in 2008 are also studies that prove that turmeric can shrink the size of hemorrhagic stroke. Jay McCracken, a medical student working with a neuroscientist from the Medical College of Georgia, Dr. Khrisnan Dhandapani studied animal model to see the effect of curcumin on intracerebral hemorrhage, bleeding in the brain caused by vessel rupture.
According to The American Stroke Association, about 17 percent of bleeding strokes occur in those who have high blood pressure. We found that curcumin significantly reduced the size of blood clots, but do not yet know why this is happening, said McCracken. He suspects it is because curcumin is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, but researchers believe that turmeric can prevent stroke.What God created for human beings will benefit, including plants.(from many sources)
