Anecdotal evidence suggest that turmeric may have anti-inflammatory properties. Individuals have used it as an alternative to NSAIDs (ibuprofen) because it has fewer long term problems with the liver or kidney.
According to WebMD, there are some side effects to consider. Turmeric may cause excessive bleeding after a surgical procedure. It also should not be taken in medicinal amounts during or prior to pregnancy because it can stimulate a menstrual cycle. It can also make gallstones worse.
For those of you interested Dr Weil has an anti-inflammatory diet listed here. He suggests eating salmon and has several other helpful hints.
