Important Note

This drink may be soothing and flavorful, but there isn’t good evidence that it can treat or cure chronic pain. Turmeric/curcumin has been studied for some pain conditions, but results vary, and ordinary kitchen amounts shouldn’t be considered a medical treatment.

If pain is persistent, worsening, unexplained, or accompanied by swelling, weakness, numbness, fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, seek medical care.
