Turmeric is a spice that has anti-inflammatory properties. Many people believe that it can relieve arthritis symptoms, especially when paired with other inflammation-fighting foods. This article looks at 10 ways to use turmeric in tasty, healthful recipes.

People have used turmeric for a variety of health conditions for thousands of years. One of its compounds, curcumin, may have anti-inflammatory properties. Because inflammation is one of the causes of arthritis symptoms, turmeric may help people with arthritis pain and stiffness.

The Arthritis Foundation recommend turmeric for some people with arthritis. A systematic review and meta-analysis from 2016 found that taking 1,000 milligrams (mg) of curcumin for up to 12 weeks helped relieve pain and inflammation from arthritis. However, the authors note that the study was not large enough to produce definitive results.

Because turmeric is a cooking spice, people can use it in a variety of ways to flavor foods and beverages. Using turmeric in recipes can add inflammation-fighting power to meals and drinks throughout the day.
