Turmeric, especially the active ingredient curcumin in turmeric, has long been recognized by traditional medicine and modern science as a substance with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Many scientific studies have shown that using turmeric in the form of drinking water can support the detoxification and liver cleansing process - the most important organ in filtering blood, metabolizing and removing toxins from the body.
According to research, curcumin has the ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation - a process that damages liver cells caused by oxidative stress. This helps protect liver cells from harmful agents from the environment and food. At the same time, the study also shows that curcumin promotes bile production, supporting the liver to eliminate toxins and waste more effectively.
Curcumin can help reduce signs of inflammation in the liver, especially in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, thanks to its ability to reduce fat in the liver and improve liver enzyme function.
However, to be highly effective, the way to drink turmeric water is very important. According to the recommendation, you should mix 1/2 teaspoon of pure turmeric powder with warm water, about 200 ml. Drinking in the morning on an empty stomach is the optimal time for turmeric to maximize its effects. Absolutely do not take too much (over 23g of turmeric powder/day), because consuming too much can cause nausea, diarrhea or affect the stomach.
The World Health Organization recognizes turmeric as a safe medicinal herb if used in the right dosage and not a substitute for medical treatments. Combining turmeric water in a healthy lifestyle, less alcohol, more green vegetables and reasonable exercise will help the liver work more effectively in detoxification.
Turmeric water is a natural remedy to support liver detoxification if used properly, controlled and based on science.
