For those who came for an answer (in brief): Clove, ginger, rosemary and turmeric.
Grind a tbsp of each together with pineapple and cold water, drink that shit.
QueefJuiceOverflow that's a pretty good combination. personally I use orange juice but any fruit juice one likes is the key. solid
QueefJuiceOverflow I'm going to do that right now and see if it does anything for my back,leg, and pelvic pain.
Lol he gives an answer, but it helps to understand why they are the best, jeez man...
Might it have to be heated first?
I heard Tumeric is best when eating in combination with black pepper.
they need a follow up to this study where they take combinations of spices to see if there is symbiotic effects and which combinations provide the best synergy.
Haz Adiguzel thanks for the suggestion, yeah synergistic
Haz Adiguzel Since more people understand "best when eating in combination" compared to "synergistic" the former wins over the latter, IMO.
Cassian YHVH I think he means to say "synergistic" and not "symbiotic" to correct D. Manahan.......
Naga Choegyal thanks, edited so I don't sound Symb-Idiotic
+Daniel Manahan Yes, black pepper and fat. Becouse it is fat soluble, means it need some fat to absorb it.
Thank you, Dr. Greger
So...I crave curry for a reason. Dal and rice for dinner tonight!
That's funny - cause I crave ginger.
Curry is generally a bad source of turmeric. Get the whole spice or the pure, organic turmeric powder and ingest it with black pepper and a small amount of healthy fat to ensure your getting what your paying for (its anti-inflammatory properties).
you probably crave it because there's generally a lot of fat in it... the reason people usually crave most foods
No, I make my own without any fat.
huh? What kind of curry has no fat in it... lol
Hi there look forward to your next findings. Thank you so much.

1) turmeric
2) ginger
3) garlic
4) cardamom
5) black and cayenne pepper
6) onion
7) cinnamon
8) basil
9) parsley
10) rosemary
Are we going to Scarborough Faire. Parsley sage rosemary and thyme. !!!!!
😂i dont mind
I started to add these herbs to my daily meals, even pasta. Love it.
Lots of good news. Thanks for sharing the results of this study! :)
Thank you Dr. Greger! Your information is better than gold!! I like that you are not trying to sell me on some miracle pill but are showing me how to make informed life changing decisions. God bless
Thanks Dr. Greger about helpfull series of Turmeric video!
Thank you so much for these great videos. I have watched all your videos and been to your website. I have a family member in the last stages of stage 4 lung cancer. About a year ago I watched every video you ever mad about foods that fight cancer. It was like finding buried treasure. The problem is despite all this. I could not convince this person to change his diet. In fact he saw a nutritionist that told him the opposite of what you report. I hope as time goes by more people will listen.
I knew of this its nice to see a professional study on it that seems to prove the anti-inflammatory benefits of certain spices.
Excellent presentation as always.
Thanks for your work!
Actually, we could assume that the better health achieved by people around the Mediterranean is due to the high consumption of spices, particularly Rosemary, and not because of wine consumption.
Thanks for the info
thanks for your valuable information and teaching human beings how to make informed decisions
Thanks!
I love using fresh organic spices and herbs. I especially love ginger, garlic, and turmeric.

Dr. Greger, I can't thank you enough.
Isn't Doc just the BEST??? His videos keep me vibrant and healthy and on NO meds at age 57! I feel great every single day!
57 is still young
57 is upper middle aged. That isn't that young. There are lots of men in that age group, who cant even achieve, or maintain an erection.
I love sprinkling ginger + clove powder in my nightly tea (rooibois, also high in quercetin.) Basically make it a chai spice. Another easy way to sneak more rosemary in my food is I grow it in my container (so I see it often) and extradose it over smashed crispy potatoes
Qh😮😮😢h😮😢😢 how 9ù
interesting that both ginger and turmeric are effective. They are both closely related plants.
Thank you Thank you
wow this is amazing information
Thanks Doc!
@ Wynn H. Tumeric is great in hummus ... which, in turn, is great with celery & carrot sticks, and with non-GMO chips.
Mark Oliver
Lots of hummus in store claiming to be "organic" has found GLYPHOSATE. Yes, that's Round Up poison pesticide. Trader Joe's, Hope, Sabra, etc. Look up the study 2018 here.
Great video, Dr.Greger!
SUPER!!!!I always appreciate and enjoy your presentations.Thanks
I like Greger's juicy scientific studies.
Great video.
Good useful information 👍
OMG, you just blew my mind! I always thought it was pronounced/spelled tumeric not turmeric.
This is very good to know as I consume cloves, rosemary, and turmeric everyday.
Then you are also assured against Alzheimer ;-)))
see ya in 200 years. comment here.
I take turmeric every day, golden milk delicious
Thanks
THANKSGIVING
amazing
TURMERIC, CLVES AND GINGER THANK YOU
And Rosemary
I wish all videos has subtitle in Portuguese
man I love your videos!
To raise the antioxidant load of daily consumption i have bought a capsule filler tool and use it to put spices in the capsules and take a couple with the meal. I prefer the plant based capsules made of cellulose instead of the ones made out of animal parts. But are these capsules safe for consumption? Since they are an industrial product and are usually sold in bulk with no ingredient labels.
I make weekly and drink tea daily my own yogi tea which contains ginger, pepper, cinnamon, cloves+ all of which are good for you and are "synergistic" with turmeric. I also make my own sauerkraut to which I add turmeric and ginger. I sprinkle turmeric powder on my steamed vegetables and mix in with rice and even home made kefir.

I’m going to snorting Turmeric to relieve my sinusitis, hope this helps.
I hope you're kidding
great gadzooks, finally something meets the approval of the gods of nutrition!
Tom Boardman what as a gadzook. is it related to the great gatsby?
Considering that Indians are mostly vegetarian and most likely consume the highest amount of these powerful spices (Turmeric, Ginger, Cloves), I wonder, do they have the lowest overall cancer rates in the world?
Yes, they do!
Awesome! Where can I find that info?
candy pinky Google India + Cancer + Curry / Turmeric, and a lot of links will show up, medical too.
However, those advantages are lost when people change their lifestyle to "western style". There is also a high number of cervical cancers, which is induced by virus infection, sexually transmitted, and much breast cancers among city population, who have abandoned traditional foods and lifestyles.
candy pinky I'm Indian👳 (from the southern region, state called Kerala where Ayurvedic medicine is derived). Growing up, I've never heard of anyone we knew of having cancer either here in the states or back in India. Many years ago, it was unheard of.. however today many Indians do shop convenience & consume sweets, order Chinese & 🍕. My great grandparents died of old age, however that is not common anymore in the western world. The diet among Indians is changing and I now do hear cases of cancer occurring, this is concern for me.
Jaison Kurian I'm a westerner and have been vegan for a few years and vegetarian before that. Despite being veg I only started to take nutrition seriously recently (probably from getting over 30 lol) the more I get into nutrition the more I find myself eating Indian and Indian like lol
Anyone know what's HT? What's the difference between Turmeric & Turmeric HT?
But is it better to eat it uncooked or does cooking destroy the efficacy of the spices nutritional content??? No one has c.ompetently answered that yet
I don't always agree with your views but I really appreciate that you connect your lectures to studies. thanks.
that would be true if he chose to present the chochrane reviews, which presents all sides to the subject, but he doesn't. He presents one study to substantiate one view, which is obviously his own or he wouldn't present only one study.
I just started juicing abd adding ginger and tumeric (fresh) along w chia seeds and a bunch of veggies w a little fruit... I was diagnosed w psoriasis 13 yrs ago, now I'm trying the natural approach, will post later!!! God bless
K andJesus how are you now ?
Yeah we would love to know your results!
K andJesus good luck my friend
Sounds healthy. What about the taste?
It should help but this condition has been found to be viral in nature. Again, certain spices can be used to alleviate latent viruses from childhood in the body. Just because labs haven't discovered a name for it yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We are finding new bugs everyday with better tests and studies. It all takes time. In the interim, avoid all eggs and dairy. It helps. Peace
wow ty for sharing
What's the difference between Turmeric and Turmeric HT?
Isn't that great? We can make our food healthy and delicious at the same time. Like Daniel said, I always add black pepper when I use turmeric.
I wonder if I can achieve a similar effect with cayenne pepper mixed with turmeric.
NO. Cayenne contains capsicum. You need piperine, with is in black pepper.
Does these spices help with lung inflammation too?
No control group?
they should have tested garlic to ! (probably the same as ginger)
what about garlic???
Para los hispanohablantes: romero, clavo de olor, curcuma y gengibre. Si le agregan manzanilla y hacen un té es más sano que el Ibuprofeno.
Are we going to Scarborough Faire, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. !!!!!
What's turmeric "HT"?
can you take garlic tumric and chamile tea togeather and ginger..anybody know im scared its gonna then my blood yoo much im not on no meds
Black pepper is supposed to enhance the bioavailability of curcurmin, so it may play a role, even if it doesn't fight inflammation itself.
look at the rates of inflammatory diseases in countries that use Tumeric heavy in their traditional cuisine. You will find correlation. You will also find lower obesity rates...that may or may not be related but I personally think it is. The chain of events that tumeric sets off on a cellular level has benefits that simply start with a reduction in inflammatory markers. cool thing about all this is you dont need alot to gain the benefits. I hate Tumeric but if you add just a dash to chili or any savory foods, you dont taste it anyway....just makes your dish orange. Tumeric is an ancient medicinal spice that westerners are just finally starting to warm up to.
I am concerned about some of the extra ingredients found by consumerlabs in certain turmeric spice and intrigued by the boost in bioavailability of some expensive turmeric supplements: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2792534/
So is Ginger a safer & less expensive alternative?
What would help would be to get the comparative result levels of the expensive drugs in terms of their effectiveness...not to take away the better option of natural food but if one is using it as a comparison to show the comparative results.
Chair DPAC because studies which show the ineffectiveness of drugs will get mass amounts of funding right? Rather than a independent study which just highlights certain drugs benefits.
Are those also good to fight muscle soreness from exercise?
of course.
3:17 gives u list
Watch out for powdered turmeric, lead chromate is often added to enhance
the color, and to add weight, as it is sold by weight. Fresh turmeric
should be ok.
Do i add tumeric in hot water if i want to drink it
Are the effects of these four spices (clove, turmeric, rosemary, ginger)
diminished any by boiling them for a tea concoction?
Did you not see the same video we did? It says they were used in cooking, which means the spices were boiled.
Heating anything past 118 degrees destroys enzymes. !!!!!
As for ginger, is the dry ground powder as effective as the raw plant?
Miranda N probably not, but the group eating ginger in this study ate a powder, so it is extremely effective as a dry ground powder anyway.
Miranda N both are actually good but ginger is so cheap that you can buy it whole and chop off a piece and munch on it or swallow it whole. besides that, grinding it all up in one go would I believe oxidase it faster than cutting off a piece when you want some.
A A You can juice the whole root and add some citric acid (a good amount of lemon or lime juice) and put it in a tightly sealed bottle. They sell it on Amazon 2018 this way. But it's easy to do at home.
Cloves; Ginger; Rosemary and Tumeric. Okay so how do we take these daily? how much and what method thank you?
+Veronica Herrera Eat Indian food :) Curries include 3 out of 4, just put Rosemary too for the hell of it.
+Veronica Herrera Golden Chai milk. It's delicious. Gently heat your preferred milk (I use almond), and infuse it with turmeric, cloves, fresh ginger, star anise, black pepper, cardamom, and cinnamon. Sweeten to preference and serve warm. Look up Golden Turmeric Milk on UA-cam. there's quite a few recipes out there. As for rosemary, I don't intake it everyday, but it is nice in soups. Never tried infusing it into golden milk, although I suppose you could try
Plant power! =P
Garlic, turmeric and ginger are very healthy.
HELP!, if the inflammatory response is for having crap in the blood is not good to having it? I suppose it does harm if it is chronic and in that case a little rest will be good, but what if you don't eat crap? then eating turmeric is bad? and if you have a inflammatory response, would be better to go in and out of eating turmeric instead of eating it continuously? so you clean the crap and also rest of the inflammatory response?
I take a capsule I make with Turmeric, saffron and black pepper each morning.
is it better to use in food or take as is???
+Veronica Herrera Apparently a bit of fat helps to absorb it better. A pinch in your food, almond or soy milk would be a good idea. It can even resist cooking. Indian use it in curry and other dishes.
Is this in the book? Anyone know?
I would assume this would be. But no guarantee.
turmeric HT = turmeric heat treated?
So that didn't help out? How do I make sure the powder I get isn't heat treated?
NO OIL
use seeds or avocado or nuts.
Jai Mata Di 🙏🙏
Piperine in black pepper increases the bioavailability of the cucurmin in turmeric
Does anyone know if it matters whether white or yellow turmeric is best? I know yellow is the standard, but white is far easier to handle given the huge roots you can obtain... and the lack of staining!
Natural TNF blockers do not necessarily have a better side effect profile, they are probably just less potent so the side effects are not as noticeable.
Maybe less potent, but I will try the Natural Spices.
Maybe a Chance to stay in remission . ?
All spices fight inflammation..
Andrea Trussardi this is true. back in the day spices ( and even now) are used as medicine in various aliments.
There are more than 90,000 people in the U.S. who are over 100 years old. ( 2020 )
Gainsville? thats where me and my bros go lifting everyday!
All day, er day
Does cooking with spices decrease their bio availability?
I've heard that cinnamon helps to fight inflammation. I think it's a specific type of cinnamon though.
I just watched a video by Dr.Greger that he posted on Facebook. In it he says that Ceylon cinnamon is best. The vid is probably here if you do a search his channel here.
Yes, it IS ceylon cinnamon...you can find a nice 1 pound bag of it at Amazon for about $20....otherwise, it's about $6 for a small bottle of it at Whole Foods. I use about 1 Tablespoon each day along with about 1/3 teaspoon ground cloves which are way high in antioxidants...another good Greger video is "Antioxidants in a Pinch" in case anyone is interested.
valnaples A 1 pound bag may be non-organic low quality form. You get what you pay for. Know your sources or you might as well be ingesting saw dust...
Buy once.
Buy quality.
If you dont take care of the body, where will your soul live?
@@dannac_8888 wherever your soul came from. !!!
Also, Dr. Greger reported that Ceylon cinnamon must be taken in moderation as it can damage the kidneys in high doses. Please be careful.
OMG! I don't hear that particular grammar 'slip up' very often by a professional, "...could have went...," at :50 seconds.
Can it be in supplement form? I heard the turmeric in the pill is the same from what you would get in the spice aisle at the grocery store.... I don't know what's true!!??
Yes...as long as it's fresh. You can make your own but turmeric stains anything like crazy!
Michele du Toit Indeed. I used to make turmeric caps on a plate with tight fitting latex gloves and being very careful. :)
Pity they didn't test nutmeg, that'd be interesting.
Get your curry on, and add an extra spoonful of tumeric powder.
@NutritionFact.org why don't you put some conclusion. ??
I’ve been taking tuneric for the better part of a year every morning and have seen no improvement in any way.
Turmeric harder
I know for a fact after taking turmeric pills for years that it is effective in keeping my blood thin and slick helping me to avoid heart attack and stroke. You must be extremely careful with turmeric if you are taking prescription blood thinners. You may bruise more easily with mega doses of turmeric which is the indication of thinned blood. ❤
Turmeric is everywhere in Indian food
Curcumin or tumeric is a very drying medicine and not suitable for people with sjogren's syndrome with dry mouth and dry eyes. Curcumin is so drying that it can cause constipation in some people. Normal ginger is a better choice in such situation.
How I get the best results against inflammation? Take all 4 spices together in combination with black pepper? Or change every day another? Or eat as much as possibel like 5 spoons a day?
Usually got Humira TNF alpha blocker as supplement once a week.... but now have a break since 5 weeks and dont wanna start again. Because of lots of sideeffects.
Eat vegan.
If spices were to be sold as drugs, many would probably have to carry lots of warnings also.
Not if they don't have harmful side effects, which they don't.
+1too3fore They do. Some spices can cause harmful side effects. The quality and other medical conditions can affect this, which is especially relevant if in treating a disease a very high dose is needed (unlike the amounts eaten in ordinary foods).
Watch this youtuber's video on who shouldn't use turmeric for starters. I love turmeric, but in prolonged medium/high doses it can cause issues with the stomach. It can increase stomach acid and reflux disorders. Pepper can cause gastrointestinal distress in some individuals, though quantity is relevant. Many herbs and spices cause skin irritation. Some people get diarrhoea or a rash around their anus from eating spices because of this. Babies can get nappy rash and pain passing feces if their breastfeeding parent consumes spicy foods (sometimes even in small amounts).
This is the first video Doctor Greg doesn't throw us his Vegetarian crazyness... and let me say: I LOVED IT!
Real good information witch doesn't look to go through one of the nutrition extremeties crapp.
Well done doctor!
