#1: Chamomile

Scientific studies demonstrate chamomile is an excellent anti-inflammatory…

Well-known to help with stomach aches, but helpful with pain elsewhere too.

It’s also a very calming herb, so if you experience stress it can help you relax.

#2: Fenugreek

Fenugreek (which in Latin means “green hay”) is another excellent anti-inflammatory.

Studies have even shown it can reduce high triglyceride blood levels! Some say its taste is similar to maple syrup.

The greens and sprouts are a tasty addition to a salad and the seeds provide excellent seasoning to a variety of meats, stews, and sauces.

It’s a common addition to Indian cooking (and you can typically find it in Indian and ethnic markets.)

#3: Ginger

Ginger is a welcome and extremely versatile ingredient in many foods, from meats and veggies to drinks and desserts.

In fact, ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties have been known and appreciated for centuries.

It’s traditionally been used as an excellent herb for migraines and stomach pains.

By the way, ginger tea can be a big help if you experience heartburn, and it’s even been shown to be very helpful with those experiencing morning sickness!



#4: Rosemary

Rosemary is an excellent herb for pain because it naturally eases nerve and muscle tension.


It contains salicin which is a natural form of glycoside – which aspirin is made from.

This makes it particularly very good for chronic headaches. Further research shows it may even help prevent cancer and age-related skin damage!

Rosemary can be found in virtually any store (and it’s easy to grow in a garden or pot at home).

Infusing rosemary into your diet is very easy, as it is an excellent herb for flavoring meats, salad dressings, stews, soups, sauces and even tea.

#5: Sage

Sage isn’t just for Thanksgiving Day dressing.

Sage helps improve achy muscles and inflammation and is great to keep your mind clear.

Sage is actually in the mint family and is exceptional for flavoring food.

White sage is a strong anti-inflammatory and is most often consumed as tea, while common sage can be consumed as tea or used to season food.

#6: Turmeric

The anti-inflammatory herb turmeric is well known as the main spice in curry, and it’s the reason for the yellow color of table mustard.

It’s also a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, meaning it’s great for disinfecting cuts and burns.

It’s another very versatile herb for many foods (try it on eggs!)
