10-Day Inflammatory Reset

• 500ml warm water with fresh lemon juice
• Turmeric & Ginger Golden Tea — steep 8–10 min before breakfast
• Turmeric (Curcuma longa) — Curcumin blocks NF-κB — the master switch of the inflammatory cascade
• Ginger (Zingiber officinale) — Gingerols and shogaols inhibit COX-2 enzymes — same target as ibuprofen

• Favor: Salmon, Sardines, Avocado, Olive oil
• Nettle Anti-Inflammatory Tea — steep 8–10 min
• Boswellia (Frankincense) (Boswellia serrata) — AKBA compound blocks 5-LOX enzyme, reducing leukotrienes in joint and gut inflammation
• Holy Basil (Tulsi) (Ocimum tenuiflorum) — Eugenol has potent COX-2 inhibition — anti-inflammatory without gut side effects

• Reishi Mushroom Tea — steep 8–10 min
• Nettle (Urtica dioica) — Anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory — especially effective for arthritis
• Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) — Triterpenes modulate immune response, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production
• Avoid food 2–3 hours before bed to support overnight detoxification

Elimination

Days 1–3

• Remove the 8 main inflammatory foods: gluten, dairy, sugar, seed oils, alcohol, processed meat, soy, and eggs.
• Begin the turmeric protocol: 1 tsp turmeric + ¼ tsp black pepper + 1 tbsp olive oil in warm water each morning.
• Take Boswellia extract (500mg AKBA standardised) twice daily with food.
• Brew Ginger + Nettle anti-inflammatory tea — 3 cups daily.
• Remove all synthetic fragrances, plastics from food storage, and conventional cleaning products — all trigger inflammation.
• Begin tracking pain levels, energy, and joint stiffness on a 1–10 scale.

Flood with Anti-Inflammatories

Days 4–9

• Take high-dose curcumin (1000mg, bioavailable form with piperine) twice daily.
• Add Reishi mushroom extract (1000mg) each morning.
• Eat the anti-inflammatory diet: fatty fish (salmon, sardines), avocado, berries, olive oil, leafy greens, walnuts, cherries.
• Drink tart cherry juice (250ml) daily — one of nature's strongest anti-inflammatories.
• Ice baths or cold showers (3 minutes cold) — cold therapy rapidly reduces systemic inflammation.
• Eliminate all seed oils completely — replace with olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil.
• Begin Holy Basil capsule (400mg) as part of daily anti-inflammatory stack.
• Walk 30 minutes daily — movement reduces inflammatory cytokines.

Lock In the Results

Day 10

• Compare symptom scores from Day 1 — most people see 40–60% improvement.
• Transition to a permanently anti-inflammatory diet — Mediterranean-style.
• Keep Turmeric + Ginger + Boswellia as a permanent daily trio.
• Omega-3 fish oil (3g EPA+DHA) becomes a daily supplement.
• Schedule blood CRP (C-Reactive Protein) test 4 weeks later to quantify improvement.
