Natural anti-inflammatories do not
inhibit healing like the NSAIDs do. Here’s a few list:
- Omega-3 fatty acids: Derived from herring, trout and salmon; borage oil (1.4 grams daily); cod liver oil (2 Tbsp. daily); or krill oil (1gram daily).
- Turmeric (curcumin): Protects joints and enhances liver health by inhibiting COX-2 and 5-lipoxegenase inflammation pathways.
- Boswellia Serrata: Reduces joint swelling, morning stiffness; increases joint mobility.
- White willow bark: Natural painkiller.
- Bromelain: A natural enzyme that blocks inflammation. Doses of 200 mg are a good.
- SAMe (S-Adenosyl methionine): 600 mg twice daily is comparable to Celebrex® 200 mg for pain relief by the second month of treatment.
- Devil’s claw: 50 mg is comparable in studies for the treatment of low back pain to 12.5 mg Vioxx (now taken off the market for safety concerns), but much safer
