Curcumin and Olive oil as a joint rub

Posted by redletterday @sfe431, Mar 18 3:08pm

Could curcumin and olive oil combined and rubbed on aching joints possibly, scientifically help or is it more of a placebo affect ? I have a family member who uses turmeric and olive oil topically and swears it helps but wouldn't the turmeric have to contain a high percentage of curcumin ?

Whom ever would be better served by taking the turmeric orally and using OTC Curcumin gel. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and provides a better benefit overall.

How about turmeric taken internally as in drinking golden milk?
