Cherries
Cherries gain their lovely deep red colour from anthocyanin – a type of flavonoid which is a powerful antioxidant. Anthocyanin has anti-inflammatory properties similar to those found in aspirin.

Turmeric
Containing curcumin, known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, studies have linked turmeric to reduced inflammation in a number of condition, including psoriasis. Curcumin has also been shown to help fight against the inflammation in the body that contributes to the growth of cancer tumours.

Salmon
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is high in protein and antioxidants. The fatty acids can help to lubricate tight joints in the body and control the overproduction of pain-stimulating prostaglandins in the lining of the womb. So it’s a great fish to eat to alleviate uncomfortable periods.

Green tea
A great source of polyphenols, which help to reduce inflammation-causing free radicals in the body.
