There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer properties, but results are still very preliminary. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers, including prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer.
Vigorous coughing is one possible reason for burst eye capillaries. Photo Credit Thinkstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images. When a capillary in the white part of the eye bursts -- called a subconjunctival hemorrhage -- the appearance of blood can be rather dramatic and alarming. Often, there is no history of trauma to the eye -- the blood simply appears spontaneously.
The small blood vessels connecting the veins and arteries are called capillaries. Some of the capillaries are actually visible on the surface of the skin. When a capillary is broken, it results to the appearance of a thin, red or blue thread that becomes visible on the skin. This usually happens on areas such as the legs and the face, especially in locations where the skin is thinner or capillaries are closer to the surface of the skin.
