Traditionally known for boosting memory, rosemary also harbors a secret for aching joints: rosmarinic acid and carnosol, potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. Furthermore, rosemary is believed to improve circulation, which can be crucial for delivering nutrients to joint tissues and removing inflammatory byproducts. An ingenious way to enjoy it is as a simple infusion of fresh sprigs. The steam itself is therapeutic. Consider adding a twist of lemon to brighten this fragrant, circulation-enhancing, and joint-supporting tea.

Stress is a notorious trigger for arthritis flare-ups. Holy Basil, or Tulsi, is a revered adaptogenic herb in Ayurveda, meaning it helps your body combat stress and find balance. Its compounds, like eugenol (also in cloves) and ursolic acid, possess significant anti-inflammatory properties that can directly soothe joints. Drinking Tulsi tea regularly can ingeniously help mitigate the stress-inflammation cycle, offering a calming ritual that supports both your mind and your body’s fight against arthritis.
