inflammation

[Guest guest]

But Carol, not all plant enzymes are antiflammatories. Bromelain is one that is.

Another very good one is curcumin found in Turmeric. Another is the Ayurvedic herb boswellian. Another name is frankincense.

A good tea to drink for inflammation is cat's claw tea. Just buy it in bulk in put it in a tea ball and pour boiling water on it. That is the way that it works best, and you can buy a pound of for around 15 bucks. That will last a long time. It also helps with much stomach and intestine trouble. Things like leaky gut, Crone's disease, etc.

I've used all of these for sore knees and feet from work. The doctor's diagnoses is arthritis and plantar fasciaitis. When I take the bromelain and the curcumin, or turmeric, along with the cat's claw which I use both in a tea formula as well as just plain old cat's claw, I don't suffer from the pain of running around concrete floors. Without them, I suffer pain.

Regardless of what herb, or "plant enzyme" works, find out the root cause. Change lifestyle according to what you value most. Like for me, if running around on concrete cause pain, but I make money doing it, would I rather spend a large portion of that money on herbs and vitamins that enable me to do it without pain, and probably merely maintain the status quo, or would it be better to to facilitate healing through the changes that would take place by just finding something else to do regardless of how much money is made working at running around. Heal or lose knees and feet.

Obviously, any one in their right mind would pick the healing.

Another side of the coin is what you're saying about ph balance. Overall phbalance probably has a lot to do with inflammatory problems. So does liver functions. Not just the western view of liver as detoxifier, but as energy pathway in oriental systems of traditional medicine.

But bromelain may not work in all people – because fruit-based, or pancreatic-based, enzymes work only in a small range of your body’s pH. For instance, if your body’s pH is 6, and the fruit based enzyme works only in a pH of 7.5, then it won’t work for you. You’d be better off getting plant based enzymes that have ALL the digestive enzymes, that work no matter what your pH level is.

Hi Ocean Myst. I am not a doctor, so please research what I say. On the anti inflammatory issue, I understand that bromelain, which is an enzyme found in pineapples, is a natural one.
