(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 04, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Turmeric is an ancient, medicinal spice that has been used for thousands of years as a kitchen ingredient. It is also a popular natural remedy for fighting a range of medical conditions. However, it seems that this powerful healing spice is not only beneficial for humans, but also animals.
Experts reveal the health benefits of turmeric for dogs. Dogs with memory issues or joint inflammation may truly benefit from the spice. Turmeric contains a powerful healing phytochemical called curcumin, which contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. These properties are widely believed to offer a range of health benefits.
Turmeric is believed to help dogs with arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The spice is believed to help reduce the painful inflammation caused by arthritis. This natural spice is even on top of the list of natural remedies for dogs with arthritis.
In addition to being an arthritis natural remedy, turmeric is also believed to be effective for reducing the risk of blood clots as well as eliminating excess cholesterol inside the body. Cholesterol can also be detrimental to the health of dogs, and it can potentially cause a number of problems such as heart attacks and strokes.
According to experts, curcumin also aids in irritable bowel disease. It works by stimulating the production of bile in the liver, and this is believed to promote proper digestion by helping fat breakdown. Dogs that are active should have a diet that has a minimum of 20 percent fat. There have also been studies that suggest turmeric could potentially help fight cancer. Its antioxidants are believed to destroy the blood vessels that contribute to the development and growth of cancer cells.
While turmeric is an excellent natural remedy for dogs, pet owners are urged to speak to a veterinarian before using the spice. There are ways to properly use the spice and make it beneficial for the dog's health. The dosage, for instance, is one of the things that pet owners should know about. One quarter teaspoon of turmeric per 10 pounds of the dog's body weight is the recommended dose that pet owners should follow.
Turmeric is widely available nowadays in a form of powder or supplementation. There are curcumin supplements that can be purchased from local health stores or online. While curcumin is a highly therapeutic phytochemical, it has low bioavailability. This hinders the nutrients from being effectively delivered inside the body.
The good news is that there are already curcumin supplements available in the market that contain bioavailability enhancing ingredients such as BioPerine, which is a black pepper extract (http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Extract-Vegetarian/dp/B00VSVKJ8I/).
