Synopsis

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

Curcuminoids, the primary active compounds found in turmeric (Curcuma longa), have a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM, turmeric is sometimes used to "invigorate blood" and resolve "blood stasis," which can be loosely related to supporting the spleen, as the spleen is considered central in TCM for blood production and transformation. In Ayurveda, turmeric is used to support digestion and overall vitality, which are also linked to the spleen in traditional frameworks.

However, in modern Western herbalism and scientific literature, the connection between curcuminoids and spleen health is not directly established. Most scientific studies on curcuminoids focus on their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective effects, with limited research specifically targeting the spleen or its functions. The rating reflects the presence of traditional use for general spleen-related concepts, but the lack of direct scientific validation for spleen-specific benefits keeps the evidence level modest.
