I love this mask. Now if I could just find the guy who posed for it. getting down to the last few decorated rooms and then Halloween is truly gone for 2015. Worked yesterday–same today–check out my novel workings—am still in process of writing: https://www.pinterest.com/lindachase56829/my-novels/ you might actually like it. I also have a store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DragonLaire?ref=hdr_shop_menu lots of collectibles that would make great Christmas gifts. Again all pictures are from my Halloween extravaganza.

Clinical studies in humans with high doses (2–12 grams) of curcumin have shown few side-effects,[4] with some subjects reporting mild nausea or diarrhea.[5] More recently, curcumin was found to alter iron metabolism by chelating iron and suppressing the protein hepcidin, potentially causing iron deficiency in susceptible patients. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curcumin

To be honest this is not an herbal I know a lot about which is why I decided to add to my knowledge and yours by exploring it for my Blog today. I do know that Kyolic offers it in its line of products www.kyolic.com (as usual I am mentioning this for information only I am not recommending just letting you know they do have it in their product line).
Curcumin has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities and thus has a potential against various malignant diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses. These effects are mediated through the regulation of various transcription factors, growth factors, inflammatory cytokines, protein kinases, and other enzymes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17569205
In addition to being a possible inhibitor to the formation of tumors and its blocking of inflammation (Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD, University of Texas, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Texas) it is also thought to be helpful in preventing cataracts and has traditionally been used as an anti-wrinkle preparation.
Conclusions
Partial support is provided for the antidepressant effects of curcumin in people with major depressive disorder, evidenced by benefits occurring 4 to 8 weeks after treatment.
Limitations
Investigations with larger sample sizes, over extended treatment periods, and with varying curcumin dosages are required.

The herb turmeric (available in herbal section of the grocery store) is used in herbal medicine for inflammation (Healing Herbs/Michael Castlemen) 1 tsp. in a cup of warm milk up to 3x/day.
One of the most promising new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease may already be in your kitchen. Curcumin, a natural product found in the spice turmeric, has been used by many Asian cultures for centuries, and a new study indicates a close chemical analog of curcumin has properties that may make it useful as a treatment for the brain disease http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2015/01/curcumin%E2%80%99s-ability-to-fight-alzheimer-studied/
East Indian herbalists treat liver problems (which they believe is caused by irritability) with ground turmeric .
Adding spice – in the form of curcumin supplements – to the daily diets of people with risk factors for heart disease may lower inflammation, a new study suggests.
Tumeric is also used in a supplemental form to help prevent or combat migraines by treating associated inflammation.
Anecdotal and scientific evidence suggests curcumin promotes health because it lowers inflammation, but it is not absorbed well by the body. Most curcumin in food or supplements stays in the gastrointestinal tract, and any portion that’s absorbed is metabolized quickly.
Curcumin powder was mixed with castor oil and polyethylene glycol in a process called nano-emulsion (think vinaigrette salad dressing), creating fluid teeming with microvesicles that contain curcumin. This process allows the compound to dissolve and be more easily absorbed by the gut to enter the bloodstream and tissues. https://news.osu.edu/news/2014/11/06/new-research-adds-spice-to-curcumin%E2%80%99s-health-promoting-benefits/
Tumeric (mixed with other herbals) is also used topically to ease the pain of shingles. It is also taken orally to help treat the condition which is an inflammation. It is warned to not use Curcumin (or Tumeric) internally if you have gastritis, stomach ulcers, gall stones or bile duct obstruction.
Curcumin stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which some people think may help improve digestion.

Tumeric is also used as yellow coloring in curries, with rice and grains, in garam masala, and in lentil dishes.

A small study in 2012 indicated that BCM-95, a curcumin product, worked better at reducing joint pain and swelling for patients than a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID.
The University of Maryland Medical Center reported on a study that showed a reduction in pain and disability for people who took a formula of herbs and minerals, including turmeric, winter cherry, boswellia, and zinc, although it was not clear of turmeric’s effects on the improvement
