Studies have shown that turmeric may help to reduce inflammation in the upper and lower back which in turn will help to reduce back pain; however, Turmeric will not help to fix herniated discs or sciatica. Turmeric helps to reduce inflammation because it reduces the body’s natural inflammatory response. Turmeric also helps to improve your immune system.
