Scientific experts from the US have discovered that turmeric helps our brain to get rid of bad memories, as Science Alert informs.

The experiment was carried out by public health school staff at the City University of New York. Psychologists have stimulated the emergence of fear in mice with the help of a specific sound. Then, one group of mice was given food rich in curcumin. A few hours later, the experiment was repeated - then mice that consumed curcumin, have ceased to respond to the sound.

Such effect is possible due to the fact that curcumin has anti-inflammatory abilities, and inflammation occurs in a number of psychological disorders, including depression, Alzheimer's disease and post-traumatic stress. Experts expressed hope that the results will help to develop treatments for people suffering from mental disorders.
