Turmeric Better Than Prozac for Depression

Turmeric Better Than Prozac for Depression

Turmeric has been found to contain some of the best medicinal properties that can deliver an all-in-one solution for your health. This root has some very powerful anti-inflammatory properties. As a matter of fact, it helps in preventing further growth of cancerous cells. Turmeric is also well known to treat depression and lowers cholesterol. The list is long, but it is worth mentioning other benefits like its ability to treat skin cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and conditions like arthritis, heartburn, jaundice, diarrhea, gallbladder and stomach pain.

Turmeric For Depression

There are many different ways to treat depression and a very common treatment is Prozac. The sad thing about using any type of drug for depression is the side effects that they come with it like having a hard time breathing, bleeding in the stomach, or worse – suicidal thoughts.

Research has proven that turmeric can help a person with depression without having to deal with any side effects. Turmeric treats depression with its special component called curcumin, which gives turmeric its yellow color. It is more effective than the fluoxetine that Prozac contains.

You can take turmeric daily in Garden’s Best Genesis Superfood Juice Powder.
