Curcumin
Curcumin, the main bioactive component of *Curcuma longa*, has long been recognised for its medicinal properties in traditional Asian medicine. In addition to its use as a spice, it is praised for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities.
Advantages of curcumin infusion therapy
In addition to its traditional effect on digestion and liver health, curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. These properties make it beneficial in the treatment and prevention of many diseases linked to inflammation and oxidative stress.
Indications:
- Digestive health: Stimulates the flow of bile, improving fat digestion and supporting liver metabolism.
- Anti-inflammatory action: Curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, useful in the treatment of diseases such as polyarthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
- Cancer: Numerous studies have highlighted its role in preventing cancer and supporting oncological treatments, thanks to its inhibitory properties on tumour growth.
- Neuroprotection: Curcumin also has neuroprotective effects, potentially acting against neurodegenerative diseases.
Therapy process
The bioavailability of curcumin when ingested is low due to reduced intestinal absorption and rapid elimination by the liver. Infusion of curcumin allows sufficient intra-tumour concentration to be achieved, bypassing the obstacles associated with oral administration. This method is therefore crucial for ensuring optimal therapeutic efficacy. Dosages generally range from 50mg to 2g, depending on the patient's tolerance and specific needs. It is essential to consult a doctor before starting this type of treatment to determine the most suitable protocol.
