New studies indicate that it may be effective in helping the recovery from chemotherapy and radiation treatment. In addition to its capacity to intervene in the initiation and growth of cancer cells and tumors-and to prevent their subsequent spread throughout the body by metastasis-curcumin also has been shown to increase cancer cells' sensitivity to certain drugs commonly used to combat cancer, rendering chemotherapy more effective in some cases. Much research has focused on curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties, and some new research suggests that curcumin may protect the heart and circulatory system, and prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

In combination with lime and salt pepper, turmeric has also been applied to bruises, sprains, wounds, infected wounds and inflammations. In pemphigus (an allergic and inflammatory skin condition) and shingles, after a thick coat of mustard oil is applied, turmeric powder is sprinkled to alleviate pain, inflammation and to promote healing. In small-pox and chicken pox a coat of turmeric is applied to facilitate the process of scabbing. Mixed with borax as a paste, turmeric is applied to reduce tissue swelling due to inflammation.
