3 Anti-Inflammatory Herbs You Should Use When Cooking

Use these 3 anti-inflammatory herbs in your cooking and keep inflammation under control. Inflammation can show itself as fever, joint pain/stiffness, brain fog, low energy, anxiety, hormone problems, skin problems, digestive issues, and chest/abdominal pain.

1. Ginger - people have used ginger for thousands of years to heal various conditions including colds, migraines, nausea, arthritis, and high blood pressure. Ginger contains more than 100 active compounds including gingerol, shogaol, zingiberene, and zingerone. These are most likely responsible for helping to reduce inflammation.

A study looked at the effects of taking 500–1,000 mg of ginger daily in people with osteoarthritis and found ginger may reduce inflammatory markers such as TNF-α and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), as well as reduce joint pain and increase joint mobility.

2. Turmeric is packed with over 300 active compounds, one of the most important being an antioxidant called curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

Numerous studies have shown that curcumin can block the activation of the molecule that activates genes that promote inflammation. You can try out my new Curcumin supplement here.

3. Rosemary has a high content of polyphenols, particularly rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid. In animal studies, rosmarinic acid reduced inflammation markers in many inflammatory conditions, including atopic dermatitis, osteoarthritis, asthma, and gum disease.

I love Rosemary with lamb and salmon. I also include turmeric with my Scrambled Greens recipe - the perfect low-carb breakfast. Find the recipe on my website here.
