Turmeric may be as good for treating indigestion as drug 1155 Sep 2023

Curcumin is effective in the treatment of gastric ulcers, erosions and dyspepsia, with ulcers and erosions reduced or even eradicated after administration of curcumin (3000 mg/day) for up to 12 weeks, while abdominal pain and discomfort were significantly reduced. This explains why in this study we compared curcumin with a PPI as a treatment for functional dyspepsia.
