Turmeric

Curcumin is the main compound found in turmeric, a widely cultivated rhizome. Research suggests that this compound has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Studies [7] that were conducted using purified curcumin in mice and human cells suggest that the compound may help people with ulcerative colitis stay in remission.
