So it sounds like you're using it as a pain killer, not necessarily an anti-inflammatory?

1). Chaga : make a tea from this birch tree fungus. A "super food", with several beneficial properties ranging from fighting cancer, to mood stability, and anti-viral and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
Look up scientific studies in pubmed.com. Chaga has the highest levels of anti-oxidants known. Something like 1000x higher than blueberries and acai berries
Don 't buy the tablets (quality varies). Buy the raw material and brew a tea (hot water extraction).
Also, eat a Mediterranean / anti-inflammatory diet.
Last, get a quality teeth cleaning / prophylaxis, and floss your teeth 2-3x/week with 10-15 strokes /tooth side. Focus on thoroughness. Oral bacteria, going systemic, is a leading problem for causing systemic inflammation problems, taxing our immune system. Reducing oral bacteria load, with thorough flossing helps the bodies' immune system.

So it sounds like you're using it as a pain killer, not necessarily an anti-inflammatory? Both Look up tart black cherry juice as well. I'm going to be ordering some shortly once I remember the name of the sugarless concentrate. It came with a pump bottle and one squirting in glass simply ad water. It worked excellent, I got the tip from my f-i-l. When we moved I forgot about it, my wife just mentioned it and how well it worked for me along with a healthy diet it's noticeable relief

Ha, way ahead of ya: My wife just started me on the tart cherry juice. How much do you take and what is curcumin ? Like Battue said, it's an extract of Turmeric. Seems to work. On the cherry juice, 8 oz of twice a day.

There are several herbs and spices that are said to be anti-inflammatory. If you have any doubts about a certain herb or spice relating to medications you may be taking, you can always ask your doctor or find the information at "webmed" and such. The following are considered anti-inflammatory spices, herbs (or roots) that can be introduced to your diet: -Turmeric (sold as a spice in most US supermarkets, but a little expensive) -Ginger -Cinnamon -Garlic -Cayenne -Black pepper -Clove (sweet cloves) You can sprinkle turmeric on fried eggs, for example, on steaks, and so on. You can cut a couple of pieces of ginger root, and boil them in two cups of water for a very tasty cup of tea. The same with cloves (put some in a hot cup of water and drink as a tea). Or a cinnamon steak in boiling water. I do this at my campsite during moose season http://www.healthline.com/health/osteoarthritis/turmeric-and-anti-inflammatory-herbs#BlackPepper8http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/lifestyle-guide-11/supplement-guide-turmeric

That's nothing. I told my plumber that any minute, you'd be recommending a suppository.....

Also like to add it to soups and chili. Hell maybe I'll even try it on my oatmeal tomorrow morning. Nah, that's what the raw cocoa powder, raw honey and cinnamon are for

Nah, that's what the raw cocoa powder, raw honey and cinnamon are for Yes, turmeric adds a good flavor to steaks, eggs, and so on, and adds a nice color to brown or wild rice, or chili. My wife likes a cinnamon tea she makes by putting a cinnamon stick in boiling water and letting it sit to cool for a few minutes. I have some arthritis on my left hand near the wrist, but it bothers me only if I hit (jar) my hand against something, or at night if I twist my wrist while asleep. Anyway, I have been taking vitamin B12, and the pain has subsided quite a lot. It's still there, but nothing like it was six months ago.
