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.
