Over the counter anti-inflammatory medications are one of the most commonly used drugs worldwide. Over 30 million take some sort of prescription or over the counter anti-inflammatory medication every day. [<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3364420\/#:~:text=Epidemiology%20of%20NSAID%20prescribing,)%20analgesic%20market%20%5B1%5D.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2<\/a><\/u>] But did you know that many of these man-made medicines can have inflammatory side effects in the long run? While pharmaceuticals can help reduce pain and inflammation quickly, taking these synthetic options for long periods of time can have disastrous side effects that take a toll on vital organs and overall health and well-being. Long-term use of anti-inflammatory medications can increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and stomach ulcers.

Science is showing that natural plants and herbs can be just as effective (or more effective) at treating pain and inflammation than over the counter options. [<u><a href=\"https:\/\/translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12967-018-1381-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4<\/a><\/u>]. The best part about using all-natural supplements for inflammation is that they don\u2019t have any damaging long-term side effects. And, these botanicals can help to heal the underlying cause of inflammation\u2014rather than simply manage symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick overview of some of the top anti-inflammatory herbs and supplements. Whether you have mild aches and pains from time to time or whether you\u2019re struggling with a chronic inflammatory condition or autoimmune disease, when it comes to reducing both acute and inflammation in the body these plants are superstars!<\/p>\n<h3>The Best Herbs for Inflammation<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>1. Boswellia serrata<\/strong> (aka frankincense) is a plant native to India with a remarkable set of anti-inflammatory properties. It acts by turning off cytokines that begin the inflammatory process and stopping the formation of leukotrienes, which are the immune cells responsible for inflammation. [<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consciouslifestylemag.com\/natural-remedies-for-inflammation-pain\/\">5<\/a><\/u>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>2. Bromelain<\/strong> is an enzyme that comes from the stem of pineapples. It has been shown to reduce inflammation, swelling, pain, and soreness. [<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC538506\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">6<\/a><\/u>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>3. Black Pepper <\/strong>is much more than a kitchen staple. It\u2019s active ingredient, piperine, is a natural anti-inflammatory, and studies show that it could reduce inflammation associated with asthma, arthritis, chronic gastritis, and Alzheimer\u2019s, and more. [<a href=\"https:\/\/translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12967-018-1381-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong style=\"font-size: inherit\">4. Cayenne Pepper<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"> contains the inflammation-fighting compound capsaicin, which is a potent inhibitor of substance P, the pain-producing neuropeptide that\u2019s produced as a result of inflammation. [<\/span><u style=\"font-size: inherit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consciouslifestylemag.com\/immune-boosting-foods-herbs\/\">7<\/a><\/u><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong style=\"font-size: inherit\">5. Cinnamon <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">is not just a delicious spice. Research indicates that cinnamon drastically reduces inflammation by blocking the release of inflammatory fatty acids from cell membranes and inhibiting the formation of other inflammatory substances. [<u style=\"font-size: inherit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consciouslifestylemag.com\/immune-boosting-foods-herbs\/\">7<\/a><\/u>]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong style=\"font-size: inherit\">6. Devil\u2019s Claw<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"> is a claw-shaped fruit native to South Africa where it has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for inflammation and as a modern treatment for arthritis pain. Numerous studies have shown it\u2019s just as effective as common over the counter and prescription medications. [<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consciouslifestylemag.com\/natural-remedies-for-inflammation-pain\/\">5<\/a><\/u>]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong style=\"font-size: inherit\">7. Ginger<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"> is another cooking staple that contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds. Several studies have shown that it decreases overall inflammation and pain related to migraines, menstruation, arthritis and more, and it is just as effective as Aspirin and Ibuprofen in doing so. [<\/span><u style=\"font-size: inherit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalpainmanagement.com\/patient\/treatments\/alternative\/ginger-turmeric-dynamic-pain-fighting-duo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8<\/a><\/u><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong style=\"font-size: inherit\">8. Turmeric<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"> is another plant native to India with impressive anti-inflammatory benefits. This common spice contains curcumin, an anti-inflammatory polyphenol that occurs naturally in the plant. In a double-blind study, it was shown to be more effective than pharmaceutical options at reducing pain and inflammation after surgery. [<\/span><u style=\"font-size: inherit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3964021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9<\/a><\/u><span style=\"font-size: inherit\">]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong style=\"font-size: inherit\">9. White Willow Bark<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"> contains a compound called salicin, which has a similar anti-inflammatory effect in the body as Aspirin but without the gastrointestinal side effects.

Founder, Tim Chrisman, started Fully Human Supplements after trying multiple medications and procedures that only temporarily relieved his persistent, overwhelming joint pain and arthritis. Desperate for relief, he began to extensively research natural alternatives for chronic inflammation, which led to remarkable results and the formation of Fully Human Supplements. The brand offers two natural anti-inflammatory options in two different strengths: Liberty and Freedom.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fullyhumansupplements.com\/product\/liberty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff\">Liberty<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is a proactive maintenance supplement that works with your body to prevent long-term inflammation. This dosage is especially useful for athletes and people with highly active occupations or lifestyles because it helps to shorten recovery time. It also helps reduce daily inflammatory triggers from diet and stress. <span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fullyhumansupplements.com\/relief?utm_source=CL&amp;utm_medium=partner&amp;utm_campaign=liberty&amp;utm_content=sponsoredpost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Freedom<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span> is a more potent and targeted dose that works at repairing chronic inflammation. This option is best for those who are actively seeking relief from chronic inflammation and inflammatory disease. As their names suggest, both Liberty and Freedom are designed to fully liberate you from inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Both Liberty and Freedom consist of the 9 anti-inflammatory super herbs and extracts listed above, all of which are scientifically shown to heal or maintain healthy inflammation levels. There are over 400 scientific studies supporting the anti-inflammatory properties of these 9 ingredients. While there are a lot of natural and safe inflammation remedies out there (from cold plunges to PEMF therapy), few are as inexpensive and effective as high-quality supplementation. Unlike over-the-counter pharmaceutical medications, both Liberty and Freedom are extremely safe and effective for long-term use.<\/p>\n<p>As a former gymnast, who has struggled with pain in my wrists and lower back ever since, I decided to try out Liberty from Fully Human Supplements for myself.
