Historical uses. Compounds made by plants and microproducts or modified versions of these compounds have historically been used as a rich source of medicinal agents for aliments and diseases (1, 2). Oral administration of curcumin has known to treat the common cold, liver diseases, urinary tract infections, and cancer while topical treatment helps to heal wounds, parasitic skin infections, and acne. The origin of curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is from turmeric, a spice isolated is the Curcuma Longa plant that is native to India and also cultivated in south and southeast tropical Asia (3). Turmeric is comprised of three major curcuminoids, the major component being curcumin (4). Eastern cuisine, including curried food, is usually seasoned heavily with turmeric and gives it its spicy favors and color. The average intake of turmeric in India is approximately 2-2.5g daily based on normal diets (5). Epidemiological data shows lower cancer rates for people in these eastern regions possibly due to high curcumin- content diets (5, 6). To support this claim, the cancer rates have been shown to then become similar in second generation immigrants who have migrated to the west. Adaption of a more western lifestyle, lacking curcumin, by the same group of people is thought to contribute to this higher incidence of cancer (5).
