After 5 years of being injury free, I can no longer claim that. For the past, several months I have been battling some minor knee pain.

See, in nutrition school, I learned quickly that most health issues can be traced back to inflammation. Of course, this is a longer blog post in itself. But for now, this week herb is one of THE anti-inflammatory plants: Calendula
