7 Herbs to Fight Joint and Knee Pain

3. Ginger

 

   

Ginger is a miracle spice that has always been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Due to its active ingredient gingerol, it helps with joint and knee pain by increasing blood circulation and relieving pain. Research on the benefits of ginger in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is very exciting.

But that’s just the beginning. Scientific studies have shown that ginger can also lower bad cholesterol, improve blood sugar, protect the heart from diseases, lower cancer risk and increase brain function. And it’s super easy to drink because it tastes good. You can use it dry, powdered, fresh or in the form of cooking oil, or just swallow a capsule if you prefer.
