6 Plants / Foods that inhibit inflammation and mimic "Resveratrol” the anti-aging powerhouse

Researchers in the January Journal of Lipid Research give us an understanding of many botanical oils, and how they seem to have "anti-inflammatory" qualities.

"Resveratrol", found in grapes, dark berries and wine, has been touted over the past few years for it's anti-aging qualities, protecting the body from the impact of aging.


The researchers mentioned above have found that six essential oils from thyme, clove, rose, eucalyptus, fennel and bergamot can suppress inflammatory enzymes, in a role very close to that played by resveratrol.

They have even been able to isolate the exact compound that is responsible.

All the above have been used for ages as a component of home remedies based upon aromatherapy and even anti-bacterial properties. But now we understand more, and why.
