Now without further adieu, 6 anti-inflammatory herbs that annihilate pain…
1) Chamomile
Chamomile Flower
In the classic children’s tale Peter Rabbit, Peter’s mother gave him chamomile tea when he was feeling ill. Turns out she knew what she was doing and it is worth your while to drink chamomile tea, too! Scientific studies demonstrate chamomile is an excellent anti-inflammatory … well-known to help with stomach aches but helpful with pain elsewhere too. It is 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 is 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. And ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties have been known and appreciated for centuries. Here again scientific research confirms this herb’s anti-inflammatory power … it’s an excellent herb for migraines and other forms of pain. By the way, ginger tea can be a big help if you experience heartburn … and it has even been shown to be very helpful with those experiencing morning sickness!
4) Rosemary
Flowering Rosemary
Rosemary is an excellent herb for pain because it naturally eases nerve and muscle tension. It’s very good for chronic headaches. Research shows it may even help prevent cancer and age-related skin damage! It contains salicin which is a natural form of glycoside – which aspirin is made from. Rosemary can be found in virtually any store (and it is easy to grow in a garden or pot at home), and 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 is the reason for the yellow color of table mustard. It is also a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, meaning it is great for disinfecting cuts and burns. It is another very versatile herb for many foods (try it on eggs!)

I used ginger to get rid of a headache after the first time I heard of using this way. It was great. My headache, which was heading toward a migraine, was gone within 20 minutes, and I’ve never known one to go away without having to take something for it. 1/3 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger washed down with a swig of water.
I have been taking “Heal ‘N Soothe” for over 6 months. I am now without pain!!

Get a bottle of Real Lemon juice or a real lemon and put A teaspoon of juice in a cup of cold water and drink it for a month only. Then alternate each month so that you don’t build up too much acid in your body. This is good Gout causes, sinus drainage build up(stomach), Arthritis, and when warmed, a laxative. My former 95 year old Great – Uncle had been taking his prescribed gout medication for years. Then my neighbor gave me this remedy and pass it on. On one of my uncles check – ups, the doctor asked him why was he not getting his prescriptions filled and his reply was this. The medicine ran him too the bathroom too, too much and he was getting cramps more often; potassium flushed out, so he just stuck to the juice and he had less accidents getting to the bathroom. So, his doctor told him to continue using the lemon juice. This he use until his passing at age 101.
