Muscle or joint pain: which plants to relieve them?

• Deal with the inflammation itself

Creating less inflammatory terrain is not enough. You also have to deal with the symptoms and the inflammation itself. And as stated above, blackcurrant will help us. More specifically, blackcurrant leaves or buds, which are painkillers. But there are also other plants: turmeric or Boswellia, a kind of incense that you can swallow.

There are also natural anti-inflammatory products: essential oils. Wintergreen essential oil is very effective. “In store, we have a product that combines wintergreen, with lemon eucalyptus as anti-inflammatories” adds Ellen Desmecht. There is also Italian Helichrysum, to improve local circulation, or noble laurel, a general analgesic. These essential oils must be diluted in a vegetable oil: “I would choose arnica oil, which itself has anti-inflammatory properties” term Ellen.
