Anti-Inflammatory
Cocktail
Fennel is an anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, analgesic, & antioxidant.
Apples inhibit the development of
allergies because rich in histaminelowering quercetin. Cucumber has
analgesic (pain killing) properties
and is an antioxidant that prevents
the synthesis of the inflammatory
compound prostaglandin. Broccoli
is anti-carcinogenic, prevents gastric
mucosal damage (suggesting potential
histamine-lowering action), and
finally, ginger is as effective as an H2
receptor antagonist prescription drug.
