Turmeric (curcumin): treats inflammation, pain, and stiffness
Although both belong to the ginger family, turmeric and ginger have different effects. Turmeric can fight inflammatory compounds and help reduce stiffness during osteoarthritis attacks. It is best to consult a doctor before taking turmeric, as other foods may be needed to maximize the activity of turmeric.
These foods may also help: broccoli, citrus fruits, tuna, salmon, mackerel, nuts, and low-fat dairy products.
At present, osteoarthritis is still a gradually degenerative and irreversible disease. Therefore, the treatment of osteoarthritis generally focuses on controlling the progression of the lesion. Although home remedies may provide some improvement, when a sudden attack occurs or the condition worsens, timely medical treatment should be the only option.
