Many herbs and spices fall within the category of powerful anti-inflammatory superfoods because they are rich in phytochemicals. Researchers from the University of Michigan have found, for example, that holy basil has anti-inflammatory activity compared to ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. Why are anti-inflammatory foods important for good health? Because inflammation is suspected to play a key role in heart disease, cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis, asthma, allergies, and more.
Why not sprinkle some of these powerful healing herbs and spices on your foods? Here are the top 12 anti-inflammatory herbs and spices.
Ginger
Turmeric
Black Pepper
Cinnamon
Rosemary
Basil
Cardamon
Chives
Cilantro
Cloves
Garlic
Parsley
Herbs work on inflammation in a multi-faceted holistic and balanced way without the side effects of drugs.

+ add your ownmore good news from the herb garden! thanks.
Lovely article-and Mpa M. you only need to comment once - we can all read here!
Herbs and spices add so much flavour to cooking and is healthy for other uses, so enjoyable to have them around-replace them every so often if you do not use them up as these will lose their flavour and potency if keep endlessly!
I'm glad I already use those herbs extensively.
I've heard that the lack of spices and herbs used by the average home cook has potentially effected North American health. Most people just use salt, pepper, and sugar in quantity and on a regular basis, but in times past all kinds of spices and herbs were used to create more flavourful dishes, and the people who ate them benefitted health-wise. Kind of makes sense when you compare spice-heavy cultures like India's with synthetic-flavoured North America's. I've taken to heavily spicing/herbing any food (and just hoping it still tastes good! : ) ).
Spices & herbs so much better than conventional meds.
Great article. Thanks.
