1. Basil
Basil contains compounds similar to the ones found in cannabis without those terrible side effects. It contains a compound known as BCP or (E)-beta-caryophyllene which is thought to combat inflammation similar to cannabis. Like ginger, basil blocks the formation of leukotrienes. It also contains a compound known as eugenol which mimics the action of potent OTC anti-inflammatories like acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
