'''Curcurmin''' is the bright yellow chemical compound found in some plants, principally it is the main ingredient in [[turmeric]]. Curcumin is used in [[Ayurvedic medicine]] and [[traditional Chinese medicine]]. Medical studies using curcumin to reduce [[inflammation]] and treat ME/CFS have had promising results, however studies are small and more research is required.<br />
