How Well Are You Sleeping?
With the stress that comes with daily life and the hot summer nights it’s no surprise that some of us are not getting a proper nights rest.
Curcumin/turmeric has justifiably gained a lot of attention in the natural health world as a powerful anti-inflammatory. This amazing spice can benefit everyone in some capacity including its ability to improve sleep quality.
There’s no question that sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your body, but the reality is that few of us actually get what we need, both in terms of quality and quantity.
So, if you’re looking for a way to get the good night’s rest you deserve, look no further than the benefits of curcumin/turmeric. You will find it a welcome addition to your bedtime routine.
Turmeric has an extensive list of uses where its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may be beneficial, but what can it do for sleep?
Sleep is controlled by a complex mix of brain chemicals, as well as being influenced by various lifestyle and dietary factors. But what you may not know is that there is an intricate link between sleep, inflammation, and the immune system, and research suggests that cytokines may provide the answer to this link.
Cytokines are a type of regulatory glyco-protein that act as intercellular chemical messengers of the immune system. Some cytokines help promote sleep, while others can cause major disruptions to sleep patterns.
Specifically, curcumin acts as a powerful cytokine modulator that can down-regulate the expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, to modulate levels of cytokines and promote sleep!

Turmeric itself contains several bioactive compounds, including turmerin (a water-soluble peptide), essential oils (turmerones, atlantones, zingiberene), and several curcuminoids, including curcumin.
Curcuminoids, are phenolic compounds that possess strong anti-inflammatory properties, as well as act as powerful antioxidants to combat free radicals and prevent increasing levels of oxidative stress.
The cytokines, inflammatory markers, and hormones affected by sleep exhibit diurnal variation, which means that levels are impacted when we don’t sleep enough.
Herbal therapies targeting insomnia and sleep disorders generally involve a multi-faceted approach aimed at modulating cytokines, managing neurotransmitters, reducing inflammation, and re-regulating the immune system, which is why curcumin/turmeric often come into the picture.
Curcumin has a powerful indirect effect on combating many of the underlying imbalances that contribute to sleep disruption in the first place.
So maybe adding a warm turmeric drink to your bedtime routine could help to give you a good night’s restful sleep. See my Aunty Monas Golden Latte recipe >>
