Hi! My name is Amy. I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa in January 2013. I am not an expert when it comes to Hidradenitis Suppurativa; however, I have found a way to put my HS in remission. I must stress this is what has worked for me and I understand each individual is different. My hope is to share my experiences with you to see if I can help you begin the healing process and put your HS in remission! Click on My Hidradenitis Suppurativa Story to learn more.

Turmeric

Recommendations to help with Hidradenitis Suppurativa is to take a turmeric supplement (450mg) or stronger (talk to your doctor).  Turmeric contains curcumin which is incredibly anti-inflammatory.  I started taking this supplement in February 2013.  Along with the diet changes I made, it seems this supplement serves its purpose. 

Do a little bit of research.  You will find that many people that suffer from HS will make a Turmeric tea and drink this to help with their inflammation.  Personally, I have not tried the tea.  I have heard that it is not a very pleasant flavor that is why I opted for the pill form.  Research surrounding Turmeric suggests that it has several benefits including protecting the body from tissue destruction. 

There are many different brands out there.  I use Nature's Way Turmeric which you can get through DrVita below. 
If you choose to not take a Turmeric supplement, you can use it in its spice form in several recipes.  The turmeric spice can also be purchased through DrVita.
