Turmeric
This golden power is renowned the world over for its healing properties and is great for healing discomfort, specifically pain caused by inflammation. It has been used for over 4000 years. Curcumin is the main component of turmeric and contributes to its efficacy. However, curcumin needs to be blended with activating agents such as black pepper to unlock its multitude of health benefits. (Hewlings, 2017) Turmeric supplements are a great way to treat inflammation and soreness associated with exercise as home-ground turmeric does not contain enough curcumin to be fully effective.
Eucalyptus Oil
Chili Peppers
Mint
Ginger
Ginger is an effective anti-inflammatory and is recommended to treat nausea and headaches. Grating ginger into your tea is a perfect way to get your daily dose of ginger and experience all the benefits it has to offer. Another benefit of consuming ginger as a supplement or in its natural form is that you are guaranteed to not experience any of the risks associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Lavender
Headaches and migraine attacks are extremely uncomfortable and are not pleasant to deal with, especially on a regular basis. If you suffer from these ailments, Lavender may be the solution for you. It may also be used to treat stress and general feelings of restlessness. Interestingly, when combined with other plants for aromatherapy, such as sage and rose it can have additional healing properties such as easing premenstrual syndrome systems.
Making the transition from traditional supplements to more herbal-centric supplements is one that can gradually happen.
