Ansa, I am not sure if turmeric is the same as curcumin, but it used in traditional medicine, beauty preparations (said to be good for the skin) as well as home remedies (e.g., tumeric in hot milk is supposed to be good for colds) in India. It is anti-inflammatory. I began giving it to Prem after someone mentioned on this forum that he had found it beneficial. I did not know what to expect, but noticed the improvement in balance after a couple of months. I am thankful for that and hope it continues because Prem has had several falls and fractures.
