2. Burdock root

One of the best tips we can give you for fighting and treating joint pain is to increase your intake of essential fatty acids.

In addition to nuts, blue fish, such as mackerel or salmon, it is advisable to add burdock root to your diet.  It is a powerful anti-inflammatory that will give fabulous results if you consume it twice a day.

You can find dried, chunked burdock root at any natural store. You will only have to add a spoonful of it to a glass of boiling water. Leave to stand for 5 minutes and drink little by little. It’s excellent !

3. Ginger

We often tell you about the great benefits of ginger. It is a plant that benefits from incredible anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic properties.

This is all due to two of its basic components: a COX-2 inhibitor and TNF,  which help prevent inflammation of prostaglandin E2.

Many studies demonstrate its effectiveness against rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling. Without any side effects. Do not deprive yourself of it!

4. Infusion of flax or flax seeds

With flax or flaxseed you benefit from a natural source of omega 3 of vegetable origin. Thanks to this, you will strengthen your immune system and you will accumulate less toxins in your joints, which are usually the cause of pain.

Like all the herbal teas presented in this article, this remedy helps lower inflammation and relieve pain. But here, no need for infusion, you will only have to add seeds directly to your salads and to your dishes.

If heated, flax loses the potency of its components like omega 3s, which won’t help you much. Opt for very finely ground seeds, and consume two tablespoons per day.

You will see how good it will do you!
