Ginger and Turmeric for Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy affects 8% of the population. Tingling, numbness, burning in the feet and hands. Causes: diabetes, chemotherapy, alcohol, chronic inflammation.
Neuroprotective Mechanisms
- Neuronal Protection — curcumin protects peripheral nerves from degeneration
- Anti-neuroinflammation — NF-κB inhibition reduces nerve inflammation
- Myelin — curcumin supports remyelination (repair of the nerve sheath)
- BDNF — neurotrophic factor for nerve regeneration
- Circulation — vasodilation improves blood supply to peripheral nerves
- Neuropathic Pain — TRPV1 and substance P modulation
Diabetic Neuropathy
The #1 cause of neuropathy. Zero sugar is NON-NEGOTIABLE — glycemic spikes directly destroy peripheral nerves.
INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Protect your nerves.
