Does anyone know of any herbs or supplements to help control/reduce inflammation?

My "go to" is Japanese Knotweed - Polygonum cuspidatum or the chinese name Hu Zhang

I second the vote for Japanese Knotweed - it's a potent anti-inflammatory.

Curcumin is excellent and so is Boswellia.

Keeping your Vitamin D Hydroxy-25 levels between 50-70 goes a long way towards controlling inflammation as well.

Curcumin is great, it works for me, but only if I use very large doses

Omega 3 is also great supplement for fighting inflammation

Japanese knotweed is anti-inflammatory, but also antimicrobial - so definitely could produce a herx...but if you start out really low...and slowly increase - it should be fine.

All of the above suggestions are great anti-inflammatories.  High dose fish oil, high dose vitamin C (granted you don't get loose stools from this), Curcumin (I like tumeric better honestly the entire herb/root has a ton of health benefits when used as a whole).

I just started trying tart cherry extract this week. So far I see a little improvement in the swelling in my hands!
