Turmeric May Have the Potential to Reduce the Side Effects of Chemotherapy

Orlando, FL -- (SBWire) -- 07/05/2016 --Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that is powerful enough to eliminate growing cancer cells. While this pharmaceutical drug can be helpful, it can also harmful at the same time. This is due to chemotherapy harming perfectly healthy cells, which results in side effects throughout the body.

Turmeric has the potential to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. Turmeric is an ancient spice that is believed to offer a range of health benefits. It has the potential ability to reduce one's risk of certain ailments, may have a positive impact for sufferers of various diseases, and may reduce the negative impacts carried along in using certain types of pharmaceutical medications.

According to experts, cancer cells tend to divide more than healthy cells. Chemotherapy drugs are formulated to effectively target these cells. Unfortunately, the fast-growing healthy cells can also be damaged by the treatment.

Chemotherapy drug side effects may vary from one person to another. There are several factors believed to influence the side effects associated with chemotherapy. Among these factors are previous health issues, ongoing treatments, lifestyle, and age. There are sufferers who experience only a few and minor side effects. There are also those who become incredibly ill as a result of chemotherapy. Some only experience side effects after chemotherapy while others suffer on a long-term basis.

When the circulatory and immune systems are impacted by the treatment, sufferers often experience lightheadedness, difficulty thinking, pale skin, weakness, and feeling cold. Chemotherapy may also negatively affect the nervous and muscular systems, and this causes "chemo brain" or "chemo fog." There are certain chemo drugs that cause numbness, pain, motor skills impairment, and peripheral neuropathy.

Some of the most common adverse side effects of chemotherapy impact the digestive tract. These side effects include dry mouth, mouth sores, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. The integumentary system may also be impacted. When it does, it affects the health of the nails, skin, and hair. Sufferers often experience hair loss in the eyebrows, eyelashes, head, and body. There are also those who suffer from skin itchiness, dryness, and rash. Additional side effects may impact the sexual and reproductive system, excretory system, and skeletal system.

The good news is that turmeric is believed to help reduce the side effects of certain chemotherapy drugs. These chemotherapy drugs are typically used to slow tumor growth in the head and neck. It is thought to be particularly helpful when taken along with the chemotherapy medications. (http://amazon.com/curcumin-supplement/dp/B00JA4TLTI)
