A traditional Brazilian plant known as Joseph's Coat has demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory studies, potentially offering a new natural treatment for arthritis. Researchers from three Brazilian universities confirmed the plant's ability to reduce swelling and protect joint tissue while showing a safe profile at tested doses. However, further clinical trials are needed before human use.
