Does turmeric have anti-cancer properties?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

What are the symptoms of brain cancer and colorectal cancer? Also, if I eat turmeric every day, will the chances of cancer be reduced? Can cancer be cured with Ayurveda?

Please suggest.

Answered by Dr. Alka

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

There are a number of symptoms linked to both of these cancers. Moreover, in the initial stages, some patients might not experience any symptoms. As for turmeric, it has many properties, including anti-cancer properties. However, it cannot be guaranteed that consuming turmeric alone will prevent you from getting any disease in the future. Yes, Ayurveda does offer treatments for cancer, but it depends on the patient's condition.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
