Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties are known for curing inflammation by penetrating deep into the molecules. The curcumin IV therapy is an extremely popular practice in alternative medicine.
It is crucial to note that Curcumin prevents the multiplication of carcinogens by reducing the effects of certain cytochrome P450 isozymes and bestirs phase II carcinogen-detoxifying enzymes. This inhibition made by curcumin hinders cell proliferation gravely. Curcumi as an angiogenesis inhibitor successfully stops the formation of new blood vessels that nourishes tumours.
Therefore, curcumin hinders metastasis and thus helps in preventing cancer from moving to the next stage. It also results in killing the cancerous cells by upregulating the p21 gene called CDKN1A (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A) and is known for being anti-mutagenic, which means it obstructs cell mutation that leads to the fatal disease. Curcumin inhibits the kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) that halts the proliferation of cancer cells.
