People seem to be obsessed with painkillers, and they would rather swallow a pill instead of ‘dying’ in pains. But, are these pills that efficient, or is it just us being used to take a pill for everything?

According to a clinical study that was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, turmeric is a healthier and a lot more efficient alternative to ibuprofen, and it shows extraordinary results in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
The particular study involved 109 patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Part of the participants received 800mg of ibuprofen, while the others took 2,000mg of turmeric every day for a total of 6 weeks. Their pain was measured during the performance of physical activities like walking, stair climbing or other common activities.
The ‘turmeric group’ showed better results after 6 weeks. They were also more satisfied than patients who were given ibuprofen. Turmeric is natural, safe and powerful painkiller, and even science backs up this fact.
