In this video we see ten plants with anti-inflammatory properties to help us relieve pain and stiffness in the joints. These infusions and natural foods can be a complement to the treatment of arthritis. Now, if I suffer any symptoms of pain or discomfort in my joints, or stiffness, it will be important that before consuming any natural remedy, I consult my doctor, so that he can find out the cause. First is ginger, with its active ingredients, gingerols and shogaols, which can reduce inflammation and pain. In addition, some studies indicate that it can reduce the levels of inflammatory molecules. Second, thyme. An herb rich in carvacrol and thymol, which fights oxidative stress and can help slow the progression of arthritis by inhibiting enzymes that degrade cartilage. Third, we have cloves. Its star compound, eugenol, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Fourth is rosemary, which offers us antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties thanks to rosmarinic acid. Fifth, garlic. Allicin, a sulfur compound in garlic, can help reduce inflammation and some joint symptoms. Sixth, we have olive oil, a well-known liquid in our kitchens that contains oleocanthal, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects and several studies that show its help in arthritis symptoms. Seventh, we have cinnamon. Its antioxidant polyphenols have decreased C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers in some studies. Eighth, we have broccoli. This vegetable, after being cut and rested for a few minutes, can offer anti-inflammatory effects thanks to sulforaphane, a compound in which it is very rich. Ninth, beetroot. The substance responsible for its intense color, betalanin, has anti-inflammatory properties and has helped in several studies to combat chronic pain. Tenth, we have turmeric. This root has been used historically for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, properties that have been demonstrated in recent studies. Now, although these plants can help us improve the health of our joints, it is important that if we have symptoms of pain, stiffness or discomfort in them, we consult with our doctor, because these signs can always hide serious medical conditions. And also, it will be essential that if our intention is to include these plants in our daily routine, we do so under the supervision of a health professional, especially if we have diseases or are undergoing pharmacological treatment. **The content presented on this channel is for informational and educational purposes only.
