Nowadays, NSAID drugs, such as Ibuprofen (Advil) or diclofenac (Voltaren), are widely (over-)used to treat pain and inflammation. Chronic inflammation has shown to be the culprit of many of our modern day diseases. It can easily be prevented through a healthy, whole food diet, regular exercise and reducing stress levels. But these approaches take time, energy, and discipline.
Here are 5 Evidence-Based Alternatives to Ibuprofen
Ginger capsules (250 mg, 4 times a day):
A 2009 study found that ginger capsules were as effective as mefenamic acid and ibuprofen in relieving pain in women with primary dysmenorrhea or pain associated with their menstrual cycle (4)
Holy Basil (Tulsi):
Another study found holy basil, also known as Tulsi, to contain anti-inflammatory compounds with similar effects as ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. (5)
Turmeric extracts:
Turmeric extracts are as effective as ibuprofen for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, and cause fewer gastrointestinal issues, too. (6)
Cherries and Berries:
Another study found that anthrocyanins, extracted from raspberries and sweet cherries, were as effective as ibuprofen and naproxen at suppressing inflammation-associated enzyme. (7)
Omega-3 fatty acids:
A 2006 human study found that omega-3 fatty acids (between 1200-2400 mg daily) were as effective as ibuprofen in reducing arthritis pain and without side effects. (8)
