Almonds
Almonds are known as the aspirin nut. They contain salicylates which is the same pain relieving ingredient in aspirin. Take 10 or 15 almonds if you are in pain and they may help you feel better!
Tart Cherries
Cherries - these are well known for their pain reducing abilities and I believe there are studies supporting it too. They contain a strong anti-inflammatory.
Raisins and Gin
Soaking sulphured raisins in gin. This really didn't do anything noticeable for me.
Green Lipped Mussel Powder
Green-lipped mussel powder is a great anti-inflammatory ground from the green lipped mussels of New Zealand. If taken consistently over a number of months. I recommend this for long term pain such as neck and back pain. This works very well for me personally when taken consistently (every single day) for a very long period of time.
Digestive enzymes
Enzymes - when taken apart from food - act as an anti-inflammatory. I take one of these capsules every single day. When you take with food, it will also assist with digestion.
Lemon rind
If you have a headache then rub lemon rind on your temples and tie a cloth on your head.
Thyme and Rosemary Oil
Thyme and rosemary oil may be rubbed on the temples if you are getting a headache.
Ginger
Ginger is used in Asia to treat joint pain, cols, indigestion, and muscle pain including osteoarthritis. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory. Use a ginger compress on painful areas, or make ginger tea, or even just eat it raw. Note that ginger is a blood thinner.
Fish oil
Omega 3 is an anti-inflammatory of sorts. Take squid which is very high in DHA and combine with krill oil which is great at getting into your cells.
Chamomile
Use chamomile tea topically to assist in wound healing, and also relieve itching and rashes.
