According to a report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), 1 in 6 cancer cases worldwide is caused by bacterial or viral infections, commonly referred to as “inflammation.”
Common inflammations in the body include colitis, gastritis, hepatitis, and cholecystitis. Inflammation is a defensive response to internal and external damage. However, chronic, long-term inflammation can increase the risk of cancer. Taking anti-inflammatory herbs is one of the best ways to inhibit and relieve inflammation.
Astragalus
Astragalus, a leguminous plant, has roots in traditional Chinese medicine.
For thousands of years, it has been used to help the body combat stress. Laboratory studies on cells show that its extracts can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
Astragalus contains saponins, flavonoids, and polysaccharides, which exhibit anti-inflammatory properties.
The root is commonly available in tinctures, capsules, and teas. It is even used in skincare products to minimize scarring and promote wound healing.
Calendula
Calendula is one of the most effective anti-inflammatory herbs and has been used in tinctures, dressings, teas, and creams.
It is typically taken orally or applied topically to reduce inflammation and deliver strong antioxidants.
The anti-inflammatory benefits of calendula come from its linoleic acid content. It has been shown to be effective in treating dermatitis, ulcers, sore throats, and diaper rash.
Calendula is also used to combat infections and promote oral health.
Cat’s Claw
Cat’s claw, known as a potent antiviral herb from the Amazon, has unique anti-inflammatory properties.
It is renowned for improving inflammatory digestive issues such as Crohn’s disease, stomach ulcers, and leaky gut syndrome.
Traditionally consumed as tea, cat’s claw is now available in liquid extracts and capsules. It can also be used topically to alleviate problems like muscle and joint pain.
Chamomile
Chamomile has been used for centuries for its healing and nourishing properties.
Doctors often use chamomile to ease pain and inflammation and to relieve digestive issues.
Research indicates that its anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial for conditions like osteoarthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, and ulcerative colitis.
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is another excellent choice among anti-inflammatory herbs, offering numerous benefits for digestive and cardiovascular health.
It reduces stomach inflammation and has been shown to improve inflammatory issues such as mouth ulcers, bronchitis, chronic cough, and metabolic disorders.
