Turmeric, diet: Turmeric is a great natural anti inflammatory, you can buy capsules and take 400-500 mg 3x daily. Also a lot of info is available re "antiinflammatory diets" , one great source is by author cathy abascal, book and lectures by same title. Good luck!

Diet and exercise: In general it's thought that regular moderate exercise as well as a diet rich in veggies and fruit, with fish, nuts and other healthy fat sources, and that avoids processed foods, can decrease inflammation. And don't forget about adequate sleep and stress management too. Hope that helps!
