(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 23, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- The different benefits of Turmeric Curcumin for depression have been exposed. Research studies have revealed that beating the blues is now made possible with the help of a natural treatment.
Depression is an extremely disabling condition that affects around 21% of the entire population of the world. While this affliction is very common, its symptoms are often undiagnosed. Various studies have already been conducted to determine the real cause of Depression, with chronic stress usually implicated. It was discovered that chronic stress is responsible for the helplessness behavior while decreasing the cell proliferation in the hippocampus. Even though investigations are still ongoing regarding the exact neutral substrates that cause the disorder, the hippocampus is in the spotlight of psychosocial research paradigms.
Asian yellow spice or simply turmeric contains curcumin as its active ingredient. Curcumin is known for different therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective and immunodulatory activities. turmeric is also a popular remedy in the Indian ayurvedic medicine. This is also the primary constituent of Jieyu-wan and Xiaoyao-san, traditional Chinese medicines that are being used for management of stress and other disorders related to depression. This is used for treating symptoms of mania, hypochondria pain and mental stress.
The anti-depressant activity of curcumin is attributed to the two main effects that it gives. This is responsible for the hippocampal neurogenesis and this is also the one that increase the level of particular neurotransmitters which are believed to be the cause of depression.
Curcumin's positive effects to neurogenesis are the same with the impact of environmental enrichment and exercise. The mechanism for the treatment using curcumin may involve battling the behavioral abnormalities caused by stress and neuronal damage in the hippocampus through increasing neuronal populations and cell proliferation. Curcumin also has the ability of improving the serotonin levels, the neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation, memory, sexual behavior, learning and sleep. It is understood that serotonin also has a role as far as depression is concerned because all of the said behaviors are affected to different degrees in the patients suffering from severe depression.
Turmeric Curcumin will still need to undergo different studies to fully establish itself as a depression treatment but there is no denying that this natural component can surely bring great benefits for addressing this condition.
