Synopsis

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

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for various digestive disorders, including gastritis. More recently, scientific studies have explored the potential benefits of turmeric and its principal bioactive compound, curcumin, in supporting gastric health. Preclinical studies in animal models have shown that curcumin can reduce gastric mucosal damage, suppress inflammation, and decrease oxidative stress in the stomach lining. These effects are thought to be mediated through inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduction of gastric acid secretion, and enhancement of mucosal defense mechanisms.

However, human clinical evidence is limited. Some small-scale trials and open-label studies suggest curcumin supplementation may reduce gastritis symptoms and improve markers of gastric inflammation, but these studies often lack rigorous design, have small sample sizes, and are sometimes confounded by concurrent use of other therapies. Systematic reviews conclude that while the preclinical data are promising, high-quality, large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in humans are still lacking.

In summary, while turmeric’s use for gastritis is rooted in tradition, there is emerging scientific evidence—primarily from laboratory and animal studies—with preliminary but inconclusive human data. Thus, scientific support exists but is not yet strong, meriting a moderate-low rating for evidence.
