Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Curcumen (often referring to Curcuma species such as Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. For external bleeding, turmeric powder has been traditionally applied to wounds and cuts to help stop bleeding and promote healing. This practice is based on observations of its astringent and purported antimicrobial properties, as well as its ability to support tissue repair. However, the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Curcuma species for stopping external bleeding is limited. Some laboratory studies suggest that certain constituents, like curcumin, may support wound healing and possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities, but there is little rigorous clinical research specifically demonstrating hemostatic (bleeding control) effects in humans. Therefore, the traditional use is recognized, but the evidence strength supporting its efficacy for bleeding control is weak.
