A recent Thai study found that the spice common in many Indian foods fights the pain of rheumatoid arthritis as effectively as ibuprofen. Turmeric also seems to inhibit the destruction of joints from arthritis, according to National Institutes of Health – supported research on rats at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Turmeric inhibits a protein called NF-kB; when turned on, this protein activates the body’s inflammatory response, leading to pain.

Note:  Turmeric will stain your fingers, so you may want to wear gloves while preparing.  While it may leave your hands tinted yellow, turmeric will not stain your teeth.  In fact, the spice is used as a whitening agent for teeth in some cultures!
