Turmeric

Curcumin, an important element in turmeric, has long been known for its therapeutic qualities, which include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities. Combining turmeric with black pepper improves curcumin absorption. Early research shows that using turmeric topically can aid with wound healing and skin issues. More study on the usage of topical turmeric therapies for anal fissures is required.

Turmeric suppositories are becoming increasingly popular, however, evidence to support their usage is inadequate. Most medical professionals advise against using a suppository since it may raise the risk of subsequent anal tears.
