4. Neem
Neem is a tree from India with a wide variety of beneficial properties. With over 130 different biologically active compounds it’s referred to as “an arboreal blessing.” The leaves of the neem plant are rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a component that reduces inflammation, soothes joint pain, and it eases stiffness to improve flexibility. If you have arthritis, you can apply theme oil to aching joints and muscle to reduce the pain and discomfort. If you use consistently, it can increase flexibility.
