Benefits of Turmeric described by Pablo's:
The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin which helping arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis and gout, and with no side effects. It is also an antioxidant, reducing free radicals in the body, antibacterial and antiviral, a natural liver detoxifier, and a natural antiseptic – useful for disinfecting cuts and burns, speeds up wound healing and assists in the regeneration of damaged skin. It also halts the growth of new blood vessels in tumors, serves to boost the effects of chemotherapy drug Paclitaxel and reduces its harsh side effects.
All these health benefits apply to parrots too and a cockatiel keeper once explained how turmeric saved one of his birds when it developed a cancerous tumor. It was very old and the vet was afraid to use traditional vigorous treatments, so after removing as much of the tumour as he dare, (as part of it lay close to the spine), he prescribed curcumin powder, to be applied to the bird’s back. After a few months, the bird had completely recovered with no trace of the cancer or the tumor!
Put in foods such as homemade birdy bread, turmeric acts as a natural preservative, but is an anti-coagulant too, so as a precautionary measure should be avoided when a bird is molting or has a problem with a broken blood feather. It also helps prevent roundworm, boosts the immune system, is anti-fungal, helps alleviate nausea, aids digestion and can be a great aid to particularly young chicks suffering crop problems. Sprinkle on soft food or mix a little with live yoghurt to feed.
Turmeric root is an excellent source of iron, manganese, vitamin B6, potassium and dietary fiber and has five times more antioxidant power than vitamin E. Along with curcumin it contains many other phytochemicals, helping to regenerate liver cells, cleanse the liver of toxins, increase the production and levels of bile and two liver-supporting enzymes, glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and UDP glucuronyl transferase (UDPGT) and aids in fat metabolism.
