Pineapple has shown some ability to prevent inflammation of joints because of bromelain, a chemical in pineapple. If you like pineapple, eat it as a snack in between meals not with your meal; it must be fresh or frozen, not canned pineapple or pineapple juice.
Turmeric & Ginger – A Pain Fighting Duo
Ginger and turmeric are known to have natural anti-inflammatory properties that aid in lessening the pain in the joints and improve overall well-being. They also act as antioxidants that fight oxidative stress, which may lead to the degeneration of joints.
You can take ginger and tumeric either in powder form or in raw form. Prepare a mixture of raw, crushed ginger, black pepper powder, tumeric and honey and take one teaspoon of it daily.

See if a topical treatment works for you. Creams and ointments containing capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat can provide arthritis relief. But be careful not to apply it to broken or irritated skin.
