Barley is a cereal with various benefits. It has the particularity of being anti-inflammatory and that is why mugicha, or barley tea in French, is an anti-inflammatory drink. Drinking mugicha helps protect the gastric mucosa and relieve stomach aches by reducing inflammation. Not to mention that it is excellent! Because the barley is roasted, the drink has this sweet and delicious caramelized taste!

And for even more effectiveness, opt for an organic mugicha 🌿: according to various studies, pesticides could have the impact of unbalancing the immune system and therefore causing inflammation.

Buckwheat is a cereal rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids whose anti-inflammatory effects will particularly interest you. In Japan, buckwheat is consumed as an infusion, under the name Sobacha. Consuming it, hot or cold, allows you to benefit from its effects, in addition to other benefits!

Just like mugicha, we recommend opting for a sobacha made from organically grown buckwheat 🌿.

Ginger and lemon 🍋 are respectively a root and a fruit with anti-inflammatory properties. You can therefore consume, to benefit from their anti-inflammatory effects, a ginger herbal tea and lemon juice. However, we prefer to opt for a herbal tea that combines these two fiery ingredients for more taste pleasure!

💡 Did you know? While it is sometimes recommended to drink lemon juice at the start of the day for the vitamins it provides, this particularly acidic drink can damage tooth enamel and acidify the stomach. Consume in moderation if you like!

Cannabidiol (called CBD) is a molecule derived from hemp that has many interesting properties, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. You can consume it in the form of oil to place under the tongue, to know exactly the quantity you are ingesting, but for our part, we appreciate it in herbal tea, especially after meals or before going to sleep. In herbal tea, CBD flowers are generally mixed with other plants and flowers in order to boost their properties.

Mainly known for its richness in antioxidants, green tea also has the particularity of having anti-inflammatory properties. Incorporating green tea into its consumption is therefore very interesting to protect your body.

Matcha is nothing more than a particularly concentrated quality green tea: the green tea leaves are selected and then dried before being reduced to matcha powder. Thus, the anti-inflammatory properties of matcha are multiplied compared to green tea.

💡 Did you know? Because in matcha, the tea leaves are consumed and not just infused, it is essential to opt for an organic matcha.

Coffee contains compounds that give it anti-inflammatory qualities. Since the coffee beans are directly consumed, we can only recommend that you prefer organic coffee for maximum effects!

💡 Did you know? Like all the drinks presented here, you will benefit much more from its anti-inflammatory properties if you enjoy it without sugar.

Many vegetables have anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to being anti-inflammatory, green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, arugula) are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This is also the case for beets, cucumbers, celery, and carrots. Drinking them in the form of juice allows you to benefit from their vitamins and properties!

💡 Did you know? Consuming vegetables in the form of juice is interesting for their vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content. However, this breaks down the fiber: also consume whole vegetables to benefit from the latter.

Just like fever, inflammation is a natural response of our body to protect and heal areas affected by injury, infection or irritation. The causes of inflammation are diverse, ranging from a simple cut to an allergic reaction to bacterial infections. This reaction is called acute inflammation.

In some cases, due to illness or imbalance, the immune system can trigger inflammation to protect itself: this reaction is called an autoimmune reaction.

If acute inflammation is a natural response of our body against an attack, chronic inflammation is an inflammation that persists abnormally over time . The body responds too long after an attack or even when it is not under stress! Chronic inflammation can be explained by several factors such as a failure of the immune system for example.

While inflammation is necessary to protect and heal the body, chronic inflammation can cause long-term health problems. When it persists, it damages tissues and organs. While these diseases are multifactorial, chronic inflammation increases the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer.

Diet can contribute to increasing inflammation or, on the contrary, reducing it by helping the body fight against the attacks it experiences. Gluten is thus known to be an inflammatory food – particularly for people who are intolerant to it.

While processed foods, rich in fat and sugar, are considered pro-inflammatory, raw foods are more beneficial for the body. However, everything will depend on your allergies, your genes, your body and your pathology.

If you think you are suffering from chronic inflammation, we can only recommend that you consult your doctor. He will recommend additional tests if he deems it necessary and will suggest a diet that is appropriate for your ailments.

Diet plays a significant role in health and can help limit the effects of chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly intestinal diseases. You can opt for different anti-inflammatory drinks to soothe your ailments, such as mugicha. However, if you think you are suffering from chronic inflammation, do not hesitate to consult a doctor to support you.
