Turmeric for Cats

There are some wonderful natural herbal supplements that can help improve the overall health and vitality of your cat. One of these is Turmeric – a spice and a herb that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine (one of the world’s oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems).

Turmeric belongs to the ginger family and has a distinct yellow color. It is often considered to be a super food, and one that can be safely used for your cat. The active compound in turmeric is curcumin. Studies have shown turmeric to be an excellent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, anticoagulant, antiseptic, astringent, helps with liver function, bile production and externally for wound healing. See diagram below for some of the key benefits:

Turmeric is beneficial for arthritic conditions and even anticancer support in cats due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The healing properties of curcumin may also be beneficial for cat with autoimmune diseases, liver disorders  (increases detoxification of the liver) and heart and circulatory support.  Turmeric helps lower the bad cholesterol (LDL), which cats can have and also helps reduce the risk of blood clotting.
