I recently started taking turmeric (to hopefully help with clearing a recent skin breakout). But the more I read about it, the more I find it interesting. It seems to do a number of things; it acts as a pain reliever for muscle cramps/arthritis pain, prevents Alzheimer's, reduces liver enzymes, helps with heartburn, skin conditions, and so on.
It's a pretty cheap thing to try taking the supplements, and who knows, it might help with fissure pain.
