The Positive Benefits of Turmeric and CBD for Pets
BARKSY Sprays: Introducing Turmeric and CBD for Pets
At BARKSY, we love our pets. Therefore, we continuously “push the envelope” in developing new products that benefit our furry family members. As seen with our popular flaxseed oil and chamomile supplements, our R&D Team is constantly searching for new beneficial additives for our CBD products. BARKSY’s latest project has led us to the creation of pet CBD sprays with the natural additive turmeric. This amazing new formula is available with our Joint Health 500mg CBD spray.
Turmeric Plants, Spices & Medicines 
Turmeric is sourced from the roots of the turmeric plant (curcuma longa), which is a very popular agricultural crop on the Asian continent.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the turmeric plant is a “perennial herbaceous plant of the ginger family” whose “tuberous” roots are utilized in a number of products. The turmeric plant species originated near India, where it has long been cultivated as a spice, medicine, and dye.
When dried turmeric roots are ground into a powder, they present a distinct yellow color. This hue is best known as the yellow coloring in curry seasoning. Moreover, the bright yellow color for which turmeric is known makes for a powerful dye for clothing and textiles.
Turmeric has long since been recognized in ayurvedic medicine for a number of beneficial properties. To this end, the Medical News Today website tells us, “curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, and it has powerful biological properties.” People report a number of medical benefits with consuming turmeric, including anti-inflammation, pain relief, digestive aid, as well as antioxidant properties.
Turmeric and CBD for Pets
Because turmeric is so well-researched and widely available, it is an excellent candidate as a dietary supplement for our pets. Moreover, BARKSY feels it compliments the benefits of CBD very well. The BARKSY philosophy is to give our pets the very best supplements we can. This notion includes both cannabinoids and other dietary supplements. As seen with flaxseed oil, turmeric offers a variety of health benefits for our pets.
Pain Reliever
Dogs Naturally Magazine tells us that turmeric – in conjunction with its active ingredient curcumin – offers pain relief benefits for our animals. On top of reducing pain from such ailments as arthritis, studies show it may also offer a healthy alternative to mainstream pain medications. To this end, turmeric could prove to be a better pain remedy than drugs like ibuprofen because it does not irritate the digestive system.
Anti-Inflammatory
Perhaps the most well-documented health benefit of turmeric is the plant’s anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric supplements can help our pets by reducing the swelling that is caused by both injuries and disorders. Therefore, whether your dog has issues with arthritis or a sprained knee, turmeric offers a viable natural remedy.
Digestive Aid
Tumeric’s function as a digestive aid is tied largely to its history as an essential compound in ayurvedic medicine. As such, turmeric has been used in India for millennia to treat stomach issues like constipation and diarrhea. Currently, scientists are working to understand how turmeric can be used effectively as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The hope is, our pets can also benefit from this new research.
Conclusion: Turmeric and CBD for Pets 
As BARKSY continues to lead the pet CBD spray market, we will continue to diversify our product line with the best ingredients. For our pets as well as yours, turmeric is a great addition to CBD supplements.
While turmeric is considered very safe by doctors, we recommended that you only procure products from reputable sources such as BARKSY.
