Reduces Inflammation
Curcumin, gingerol, and eugenol all inhibit pro-inflammatory chemicals like COX-2, TNF-alpha, and interleukins, which are responsible for pain and swelling.
Improves Blood Flow
Warm tea dilates blood vessels, and the active ingredients help carry oxygen and nutrients to stiff or damaged joints, promoting regeneration.
Flushes Out Toxins
Anti-inflammatory herbs support liver function and help flush toxins that can accumulate in the jointsāsuch as uric acid.
Eases Muscle Tension
The warming nature of these herbs helps relax the muscles and tissues around the joints, reducing stiffness and increasing mobility.
Additional Lifestyle Tips for Joint Health
1. Stay Activeābut Gently
Movement helps lubricate joints and strengthen the muscles that support them. Gentle activities like swimming, walking, or yoga are ideal.
2. Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Focus on vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugar, and trans fats which worsen inflammation.
3. Stay Hydrated
Cartilage is 70ā80% water. Hydration helps maintain its spongy, shock-absorbing function.
4. Use Hot & Cold Therapy
Warm compresses loosen stiffness, while cold packs reduce swelling and numb pain.
5. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Every extra kilogram puts 4 times more pressure on your knees. Even small weight loss can significantly reduce knee pain.
6. Consider Natural Supplements
Glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and omega-3s are widely used to support joint repair and lubrication.
