Vaping Turmeric/Curcumin?

[Fredman1]

Certain oils/substances works well for certain ailments yes, but I still think turmeric should be avoided in vapor form...unless one's looking for a super sneeze.
There's a reason why its been used orally for thousands of years for prevention and relief. Bottom line for me is...If it had any effectiveness in a vapor form, the people that knows most about its uses, would've done that with it long ago.

Do you know it 'hasn't been done?'

There are many references via Google to "tumeric vapor inhaling." I'll offer but one.

"People also ask
Can you inhale turmeric?
Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and disinfectant and is used in several different ways, including burning and inhaling the smoke. ... Inhaling the smoke of a burning turmeric plant will put an end to hysterical fits. Nov 2, 2016"

That's per...
The ethanopharmacological aspect of carbon nanodots in turmeric https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5090208/

Interesting, though as I said, I can't see it doing anything for RA. Don't surprise me that its used for respiratory ailments. That it will "put an end to an histerically fit" goes without saying I think.... in fact, I can very well visualize that actually.

if i am not mistaken, therapeutic doses of curcumin are in the hundreds of MG

i don't see how you could get enough via vaping

it also needs a fat to be ingested at the same time, to be bioavailable

Also the link is about inhaling smoke from a fire. That makes it two very different beasts...as we ex smokers know.

"Vegetable glycerin is made by heating triglyceride-rich vegetable fats..."

lol...I wonder how many "Nays" that will evoke.

Could an emulsion containing Turmeric/Curcumin with heat applied to it put off vapor containing the sought properties?

I'm no expert but I seriously doubt that.
In fact, i'm willing to bet my long awaiting new top of all the ranges (I think) pod system on it...

Possibly tiny amounts. IF it did, it wouldn't come close to enough to make a difference.

Paleo diets help AI stuff. Some say vaping has a negative effect on the AI system, but there hasn't been much work done on it.

No one here has a clue. But that isnt going to stop some from advising you according to how they "feel"

Generally if there’s a truly effective medicinal chemical in a plant it has been purified and turned into a medication already. Sometimes the results are sub optimal, but finding out which chemical you’re looking for in the first place should usually yield better results than just randomly smoking spices.
Doesn’t always mean they work better but it often does. You have to chew a heck of a lot of willow bark to get the same effect as a single aspirin.

There’s a decent chance that the active ingredient is already in a medication you are taking, or more critically, one that has been ruled out in your case due to interactions or other things.

You'll probably get a lot more support if you visited an herbal vaporizer forum. We can say with fair confidence that what you want to do won't work well with the smokeless equipment we use. Good luck.

It’s true. I thought your avatar was the face of a big water bug of a long time until I realized it was earmuffs on a cat. You never know what will pop up.

That full on loon who had all the Wile E. Coyote style ideas for mods/atomizers could design one for vaping spices.

He hasn't been around in a while though...
