Q: I recently read an article in the newspaper about a combination of turmeric, boswellia and bromelain to control pain. Can you tell me more about this? - Noelle

A: This combination of herbs is available in one capsule so that you don't have to go to the expense of buying them separately. Look for Solaray Turmeris Special Formula at the Feel-Rite Fresh Market closest to you.

TURMERIC contains a compound called curcumin. This compound is an anti-oxidant that rids the body of free radicals. Free radicals can cause inflammation and joint pain. Research shows that this herb obstructs the Cox2 enzyme and normalizes the inflammatory response in our bodies.

BOSWELLA is an ayurvedic herb known for its anit-inflammatory effect. It is use for arthritis and bursitis.

BROMELAIN is a well known enzyme derived from the pineapple plant which also shows anti-inflammatory effects.

The combination of these three ingrediants has helped many people alleviate pain without the side effects of prescription pain pills. If you are taking any blood thinners or other prescriptions, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist about taking this herbal formula.
