Abstract
Aspirin (ASA) has been utilized against many inflammatory disorders. In recent years a growing body of research also suggests its efficacy against cancer. The use of ASA in these conditions requires long-term treatment. However, gastro-toxicity associated with ASA is a major challenge. Household species including turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon have enjoyed medicinal values including gastroprotective properties. Accordingly, their co-use with ASA may be beneficial in ensuring a safe long-term treatment. With this objective, the study was undertaken which revealed encouraging effects. A positive interaction was found with analgesic effect and anti-inflammatory effect of ASA. Further, these spices were shown to prevent gastro toxicity of ASA. In conclusion, ginger and turmeric can be used to complement the use of ASA against inflammatory disorders without the deleterious effects on stomach mucosa.
