Anti-Inflammatory Juice Recipe
We now know that most diseases today are due to inflammation. (1) Inflammation damages your cells and arterials walls and can cause all kinds of problems, including chronic inflammatory conditions like cardiovascular diseases and arthritis. (2)
By reducing inflammation, your body is better able to heal from disease. One of the top ways to decrease inflammation is to follow The Healing Foods Diet and consume plenty of anti-inflammatory foods.
If you’re looking for anti-inflammatory diet recipes or anti-inflammatory juices for arthritis, this delicious drink I’m about to share with you has you covered on both fronts. This anti-inflammatory juice recipe is the perfect blend to help support your body’s natural defenses and reduce inflammation — plus, it’s absolutely delicious!
Key Ingredients
Some of the best natural anti-inflammatory drinks come in the form of fresh juices. Juicing for inflammation and weight loss are very popular these days, but it’s very important that you choose the right combination of foods. Anti-inflammatory fruit juice can be healthy, but a fresh juice that includes vegetables such as cucumbers and celery is even better in my book because it’s typically much lower in sugar!
Pineapple is definitely one of my favorite anti-inflammatory which is why I made sure to include it in this recipe. You’ve probably heard about the benefits of pineapple and pineapple juice for inflammation thanks to its high bromelain content. (3) Ginger is another ingredient shown by scientific research to possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can even help to decrease muscle pain after an intense workout. (4)
Why include green apple in this juice recipe? Aside from its delicious flavor, like pineapple, it’s also a rich source of quercetin, a natural antihistamine and an anti-inflammatory. Low-sugar lemon is also added. In studies using animal models, extracts of lemon peel have been shown to decrease inflammation related to arthritis. (5) So when you’re making this juice, I highly recommend using the whole lemon, peel and all!
If you’re looking to make a smoothie anti-inflammatory, you can include some of the fruits and veggies I use here.

Really appreciate
could you use kale in place of spinach in the anti-inflammatory juice recipe ?
I tried the juice and can see how beneficial it must be. My only comment is that the lemon peel made it very bitter. If I make it again, I’d probably wouldn’t add it – or at least, not all of it.
How does one test that a juice is really antiinflammatory versus the fiber of the vegetables/fruit as being antiinflammatory? I’ve seen other articles mention that juicing, breaking the cells of these fruits and vegetables destroy the benefit of having fiber strands laying down in the stomach to protect gut acid and prevents sugar spike and insulin rise in your system. Obviously you can’t eat as many fruits as you can in a juice drink. What is a reasonable amount of juice? Long term, is juicing really good for people who are trying to lose weight and control insulin? Does this dumping of juice in the morning cause more crashing and craving of carbs later in the day from insulin spike?
I don’t see how this particular recipe would make you worry about dumping/crashing/insulin. It’s very low in sugar. If this had strawberries, bananas, mangoes, pears, grapes, etc then I’d worry.
I am new to this. My partner has throat cancer and is alkalining his body. The juices are what I need to give him and I had thought of making a batch to keep in the fridge but some say to be consumed immediately. Would they not work if stored in the fridge?
I make two weeks of juice at a time and freeze them. One bottle takes 2 days to thaw. I start out with two juices in the fridge. As I drink one, I replace it with one out of the freezer. As a testimony, I tore my meniscus in my knee and had been wearing a knee brace every day for six months. After two weeks of drinking this juice, I was able to take the knee brace off and haven’t needed it since.
A nurse friend of mine makes enough for 4 days at once and they are fine. Any doubt was erased when she went three days without on vacation and didn’t take her juicer…after the 3rd day she couldn’t walk.
Please never freeze energetic juices! Your body requires the frequency/ vibration to heal especially in acid/cancer situations.
Thank you.

I adopted the juice recipe you gave me and made a very good juice. I appreciate for sharing the recipe; I’ll try it today. if you buy a branded accessories so vist my site
Very useful.
I made this and urinated probably 10x. Is this normal? Maybe it was flushing out toxins?
Also, any recipes for hypertension?
If a person is prescribed heart medications, would this drink still benefit or would it counter act the meds? I am asking for a loved one who typically would not be on this site.
Hi Kim … because this is a juice with simply food-based ingredients rather than a supplement, your loved one will be safe to consume this recipe.
Thank you for sharing this helpful information on juicing to lessen inflammation in the body. I am following the instructions and taking one day at a time. I believe this will help me tremendously inorder to lessen my arthritis pain in my knees and lower back. I am monitoring my blood pressure, and taking my vitamins and minerals. Eventually I hope after the weight loss my doctor may take me off the blood pressure medication.

I am new to this, my partner has throat cancer and is alkalining his body. The juice recipes are what I need to give him, I had thought of making a batch and putting into the fridge but some say consume immediately…would they not be safe to refrigerate?
Can a vita mixer be used instead of a juicer? If so do the quantities of ingredients stay the same?
My body has been high on oxalates!
I have to stay on a low oxalate diet!
What kind of changes would you recommend?
Fantastic i am recovering from cancer and have bladder inflammation and my anal sac has shrunk through radiation as well i also had a lot of chemo can you tell me which juice will help my situation
Celery pure
Maybe a dumb question but do I need to peel the apples or chop the veggies ?
Thanks
No fling everything in juicer,, even the full lemon
Hi April … not if you use a juicer or strain the pulp through a mesh strainer after using in blender.
How often should one drink this Juice?
Good Question…I was wondering the same thing. Have decided to take a juice fast this weekend to cleanse from statin drug my doctor prescribed and absolutely inflamed my joints. I’m going to just juice instead of eating solid foods as I want this stuff out of my system, but if you’re just juicing for the healthy benefits you can add it to your already healthy diet, I believe.
I’m allergic to Pineapple. Is there something you can suggest in place of the pineapple?
Papaya contains papain something similar but in a different fruit so use papaya instead
Thank you for the recipe, I will make it today.
Too high in carbs. My diabetes would react. My inflammation would show signs of minimal reaction.
Sooooo…What do you do?!?!
Swap out the pineapple and apple, they are both high carb fruits. Try substituting with raspberries, strawberries or peaches
Fasting is highly recommended to reset and reboot your health. Diabetes is reversible. Eat your whole food with fiber. Google and find reliable source educating you how to improve your gut health and how to successfully start a fasting program. One of best fasting guide interview was by Tom Bilyeu with Mindy Pelz. Education discussion on two fuel burning system in our body: glucose and fat burning system as well as what we do that damages the food we intake.
What is the potassium content?
pineapple 1cup around 180mg
lemon=low P
celery=low P
ginger=low P
cucumber=low P
Celery 4 medium stalks around 200ish-mg
1/2 apple 75ish-mg
This is not a high potassium juice but you could always swap the pinapple for blueberries which 1 cup is around 100mg
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the effort you put into helping us. Your post is incredibly helpful, and I am truly thankful for it. Please continue to share similar articles as they are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much
It was not too helpful.
Thanks for sharing such a valuable content with us.
I like how the author doesn’t come back and respond to anything.
This was posted like 2years ago. Likely when a person was bored during the pandemic. I like how ur comment is so nice and yet not passive aggressive at all right? Lol
I was just thinking that myself (Laughing my head off)
What juice machine do you recommend.
100% get a masticating(slow) juicer, checkout amazon reviews
Great recipe it’s delicious. I will be making this every day.
Thanks
I like the taste of this juice. I reduced the ginger a bit because I’m not crazy about it, but otherwise, followed the recipe as written. I probably will make it often since I suffer from arthritis.
Good evening,
I don’t have a juicer yet. I use a ninja mixer. Does the pulpy drink still have the same effects as using a juicer?
Thanks for all that you do in the name of health and wellness!
Best,
Marcia
Juicer removes the fiber which allows you to digest said juices instantly into your blood stream, where smoothies take time to digest. It allows you to pack more nutrients, where blending lets say all of those would make a pretty thick smoothie. Highly recommend getting a juicer
Plan to make soon
Served this with breakfast. Husband said “Like taking a stroll through a springfield.” Surprisingly delicious,
How often do I drink this
Very helpful as I suffer from temporal arthritis.
Excellent information.
This made over 16 oz and it was so thick… any ideas??? If I cut receipe in half will it still be beneficial?
Thanks for the recipes
On my way to do it.
What quantity should be drank daily? And for how long?
No fling everything in juicer,, even the full lemon remove pips tho, drink once a day
How many times a day should you drink this juice to get the best results?
Do you peel the ginger and the cucumber?
No neither need to be peeled.
I’m very interested in trying this recipe. I see that it calls for the pineapple. Is that the tidbits? Also, could I just use ginger powder instead of the knob of ginger? Thank you.
It should be fresh pineapple. I am not 100% certain but I believe the outside should be removed first.
Fresh is best.
Can you just add everything together in a juicer or do you have to prep the items first? Assuming you need to remove the peel on the lemon? pineapple needs to have the core removed and outside skin? Apple cored?
Lemon peel doesn’t have to be removed. I would remove the skin from the pineapple but not 100% certain if it’s necessary. Apple peel is fine but you do want to make sure the seeds of the apple are removed. They contain amygdalin which can be harmful.
Leave peel on lemon. Cut in half remove the seeds.
Why are they not responding to our questions,,, no need to peel anything, even the lemon, the rind is very good for you, ill reply to yous ,i see no one is replying
Love this will buy my green apple ,spinach and celery. Ready soon to make my first drink.
How often do you drink this daily?
I will try this tomorrow. Thanks.
Recipe for low sugar and low carb juice would be nice , have any recipes?
Hi,
I’m allergic to apples, what can I use to substitute?
I’m new to juicing and full of inflammation!
Pear
I made this juice and I really like it, have already brought ingredients to make more now I’m looking forward to the benefits. Thanks
Hi do you add water to this anti inflammatory recipe please?
No you don’t need to add water.
Is this recipe ok to give to a 92 year old lady with head trauma from falling on concrete? I’m trying to figure out a good recipe to juice for her so she will get nutrition without constipation
A knob of ginger isn’t much, so please cut small it is strong.
You should speak to her doctor and nutritionist. This is not a comprehensive meal replacement.
Can you use canned pineapple?
How much is 1 knob of Ginger?
This recipe looks really appealing. I’ve got suspected osteoarthritis in my shoulder and wrist (Early onset at 35yrs young). Just trying to work out the serving suggestion. It says 1x but yield is then 2.
Is this recipe supposed to be 2 days worth? Half one day, the next half the other? Or do you drink it all at once/twice per day?
Thanks in advance
Did not have spinach so I made juice without it. Hope is ok this one time
Hello,
Thank you for this recipe, which we tried this morning and loved! Feeling really full too, so skipping lunch thanks to it.
I have two questions please:
Any recommendation for a clinic/ practitioner in the UK please?
Is this juice good for children (11 and 13 years old)? If so, how much and how often is good for them?
Thanks!
Hi Katy … not sure about a UK clinic or practitioner. If you live near London, here’s one worth checking out: https://functionaldoctor.co.uk/
You can also find a naturopath by using this site: https://www.professionalstandards.org.uk/check-practitioners/practitioner/naturopath
This drink can work for children, though if they’re not used to much fiber they may run to the bathroom, ha. I’d recommend that you serve the drink with half a sandwich or something chewable.
Very informative and interesting also good practical advice to get on with.
Thankyou
You need to give us one with less sugar, that is a lower carb count
I suggest you remove the pineapple then … or use this recipe: https://draxe.com/recipes/secret-detox-drink/
I am allergic to pineapple and don’t know what 1 knob Ginger means, plus the carbs and sugar are way too much for a Diabetic type 2 person.
Fresh ginger is knobby. You just break one off
Drink it early in the morning/day and just watch your carb/sugar intake on the days you drink this. May not be something we drink EVERY day. At least they are nature’s sugars and not refined.
Use ginger paste, one teaspoon. And remove the pineapple.
Does the pineapple have to be fresh? I live in Eastern Canada and fresh pineapples are difficult to find. Could I use frozen pineapple and just let it thaw before I put it in my juicer? Actually, in the winter all fresh fruits and veggies are impossible to find. Frozen seems to be my best or only option.
Hi Lisa … frozen is fine, yes!
Is sugar content of 1 cup of pineapple ok for people with cancer? Is there an alternative?
I would steer away from pineapple and just remove that from the recipe. This is also a great detox drink: https://draxe.com/recipes/secret-detox-drink/
If it’s from Doc Axe……then I read it. Has to be beneficial or he would not spend the effort to alert me! Love you all and thanks for everything!
Got our son taking the bone broth & the special collage-back surgery a huge success & in 56 hours he was back home! Hurray! Take that ignorance & suspicion! Take that small thinking & zero doing! Hurting & healing folks NOW have something grand to reach for NUTRITION!!!!!!
What can I use in the place of pineapple juice I’m allergic to pineapple 🍍
I don’t have a juicer as yet but I am getting one soon. I am going to make this for sure. I am experiencing some stiffness and pain from a Baker’s cyst behind my knee so I need some thing to help me get rid of the inflammation that is causing the problem. Dr Axe could you please advise what else I could use to rid myself of this problem? Thank you.
Instead of raw pineapple, use mango!
Hi Dr. Axe,
I have been overloaded with medications for many yrs. for a neurological disorder, Citalopram, gabapentin, lorazapam,. Add a strong dose of clindamycin in the hospital for an infection and tremors began. 3 yrs later, Suffering from a severe movement disorder! In the middle of the 3 yr period I slowly began weaning off of each. Gaba was first to go completely, then norco to 1/2 per day, not difficult for me. An injury to my shoulder blade almost the same day weaning off of lorazapam by the new P.A. and we have a firestorm! Everything blended together and took 3 months to figure out why my shoulder was in misery. Body jerking only made it worse. With prayer, I heard, it’s 2 problems, your shoulder and detox! So here i am, needing the best detox for the above mentioned medications. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Our son has used many of your recipes for metal-osis from failed hardware from back surgery. We are grateful for you and your essential information and recipes for whole body health. Many blessings to you, we are so grateful!
Cindy
I stopped bleeding after the first day of making and drinking this juice smoothie! Thanks Dr. Axe.
Thank you for this anti inflammatory recipe. What I would really enjoy from you, are such recipes that have type 1 diabetics in mind. I want to share helpful, and healthy recipes from websites like this, with my husband, but rarely are recipes conducive for someone with diabetes.
? I don’t see how long u do this juicing, or how many times a day.
I couldn’t be bothered having to clean out the juicer or blender so I macerated the grated ginger and lemon zest in the lemon juice and added one teaspoon of organic apple-cider vinegar. I chopped up everything into a salad and tossed it in the ginger-lemon dressing. It’s become a regular late-evening snack. The fibre is really good for the bowels and it fills the stomach, so you don’t crave a midnight nosh.
Sounds nummy! Thanks for the idea. I’m DEFinitely going to try this. :)
Thank you Dr Axe,
I needed a yummy, quick to make anti-inflammatory drink. This is a good one!!
After drinking this delicious anti inflammatory drink, I feel better. Thanks much Dr. AXE
I suffer from cyctitis and inflammation. I have suffered from this condition for over 5 years now. I am going to try these recipes and I hope it’s going to work for me. Fingers crossed
Hi Lucy, I to have this condition,how do manage
is this suitable for weight plus fat lose…? i want to reduce my tummy any suggestions are great full of you
Thank you
I’m 45 and overweight by 30 pounds. I have a Koios juicer and just made 2 servings with this recipe minus the cucumber (forgot to purchase) and fresh ginger, so I used dried ginger instead. I hope to feel better after this.
Thank you so, so much. I called your office recently looking for an anti-inflammatory supplement; no particular one available. Been taking turmeric/curcumin/black pepper combo for pain at night. This recipe seems to be exactly what I need daily. Perfect timing!
I have a Vitamix, a NutriBullet and a Acme Centrifugal Juicer. Which one do I use for this recipe please? Thank you in advance. Need to know as soon as possible please.
The centrifugal juicer is the only “juicer” you listed. The others are blenders. Need to eliminate the fiber for a juice.
what do you think of “whole juice” made with a Blentec or Vitamix?
It will contain fiber. If that’s what you want, fine. But for THIS particular JUICE, it’s not “juice”. Consuming juice with fiber does other things, and the liver has to work in a different way. With a simple JUICE, it flushes out the toxins.
4 stalks or 4 ribs of celery ?
What time of the day should I drink this? Would it be too much sugars to take on an empty stomach first thing in the morning?
I made this drink. It was a lot to drink at one time . But I have not taken any abuprofen today for my shoulder pain
How often can you drink this?
You can safely drink this every day, or 3 times a week if that’s too much to ask!
I am allergic to pineapple what can I put in place of it?
I would go with an orange, which provides a similar level of vitamin C and antioxidants.
And papaya?
I need to gain weight week this inhibit that? Also I’ve been having a lot of back and leg pain and currently dealing with a Breast tumor that’s a wound so will this cause blessing? Mahalo
Extremely useful thank you so much. Having left the medical field to work for a health food store for many years and three chiropractors .I have have this knowledge. After my daughter’s death five years ago I/we are raising three grandchildren …who are now reaching young adulthood.
Now at 63 I have found myself needing to lose 50 pounds and in great need to reduce my inflammation.
Thank you very useful Really helped
Thank you for the recipes
I didn’t see this question anywhere, so sorry if I missed it. Can I use frozen pineapple instead of fresh and still get the same nutrients? Thank you!
Yes, Jamie, you can do that. The nutrients for frozen fruit are often as high or higher than fresh, as they’re frozen soon after being “picked.”
If I don’t have a juicer, can I just blend the ingredients?
You can but will have a lot of pulp and bulk, which is fine, of course. You can use a mesh strainer instead to end up with just the juice.
I do something similar but I add parsley and cilantro. I blend the ingredients in a high speed blender (Vitamix) and drink it. Why throw out all that great fiber! Plus a Vitamix pitcher is a lot easier to clean than a juicer.
Thank you all so much, Juicer I put in dish- washer my main piece somewhat melted 4 week ago I’ve been putting off due every- day Errands!Am for sure purchasing today! in the back of my head for three weeks don’t forget your juicer but guess what I Ignore today been juicing 13 years!Pam
Thanks for this very important message and health information.
Thanks for sharing this – I used to be skeptical that juicing could have such a positive effect, but pineapple and especially ginger, for me, is relief and I notice the difference if I don’t do it for a couple of days. Amazing knowledge and recipe, thanks for posting!
Great news Grace! Thanks for sharing.
I have been suffering from autoimmune problem I will surely go for this drink hope it works cos I have stopped taking prednisolone which has a lot of side effects especially weight gain which I detested thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing . This juice I hope will help my pains and stiffness and lower my cholesterol , blood pressure and diabetes also.
Kind regards
Thank you for sharing . This juice I hope will help my pains and stiffness and lower my cholesterol , blood pressure and diabetes also.
Kind regards
I’m wondering why juicer? why not just blend all, and keep the fiber content?
You can certainly do that but many people find that it’s too difficult to drink with that much vegetable pulp.
Recipe says 4 stalks.
Are is it 4 sticks
When you make a smoothie, you are eating the whole food, which is GREAT of course. But when you juice you can get the liquid nutrition from so much more vegetables than what you’d be able to eat in a smoothie. For instance, in the juice I recommend to my patients most often for liver cleansing, there is an entire bunch of celery, 1/2 bunch dandelion, 1/2 cucumber, 1 green apple, 1 lemon and 1 inch of ginger (in those whose constitutions can take this). You could not eat that much but when juicing you are able to glean the benefits from that much alkalizing nutrition.
Described perfectly!
Hello! Could you recommend a good juicer! I have inflammation. I know there are some that are really expensive. Is there one less expensive that would be good for me. It will be only me using it. Follow you on You Tube. Thank you? Caroline
Black & Decker makes one in the $40 range. Go a little higher? Then NutriBullet makes an excellent one.
Excellent information on something easy to do for inflammation.
I’m really impressed with your recipe. Thank you.
Thank you Crystal!
I have the same quesiton
Can you make this with a vitamix?
Yes, but you want to add about a half-cup of water and then use a fine mesh strainer over a bowl to press out the juice.
I simply love his guidance in getting healthier, have his books, products & this juice it will be my daily. Need to get pineapple asap, have the rest. Please don’t stop sharing your knowledge with us. Thank You👏👏👏😍
Yes indeed!
I found this very educational.gave me some hope.
Sounds good I’ll try it

Beth Dutton’s character from the famous television series inspires this Yellowstone Beth Dutton coat. Kelly Reilly acted as Beth Dutton in the show Kelly Reilly Yellowstone Season 03 Coat
I suffer from inflammation. Thank you for the recipe. I know I will love it… going to get missing ingredients.
This is anecdotal (and tmi if anyone does?’t want to hear it) but my personal experience is having a runny nose leads me to have the pathogens that survive in it spread to the rest of the body, especially when thick it stays put long enough for the pathogens to spread. Power phytochemicals like in pineapples and ginger seem to kill off the germs as well as the mucus it lives and travels in. I take it when I feel a flu coming. I don’t get ill after that. Great for avoiding getting ill in the pandemic those two ingredients and even lemon. Clean ingredients.
I don’t have a juicer. I desperately need it for the inflammation I’m experiencing.what else can I do?
I’m not the poster, but do you have a blender? You can put all of these through a blender and use cheesecloth or a reusable mesh bag to strain the juice through and catch anything thick from the peels or the seeds. You can probably run it through the mesh bag a few times if it makes you feel more comfortable. Obviously, a juicer is preferred, but this is a GREAT substitute using things you may have at home or that are affordable.
Great natural way.
Thank you for letting us know that, really appreciate it
You can use a blender, funnel, and sieve. Blend it VERY well. Then use a spatula to push it through the sieve and the funnel to direct the liquid. Keep the trash nesbit to discard the fiber that is left in the sieve.
Hi was wondering for chronic back pain do you recommend having this often like everyday??
You can use a blender then strain into a cup.
Get a nutribullet, best ever.
Try a blender.
Do you add the entire lemon? Or just the juice from the lemon? Thanks
Oh my goodness that’s a great question. At first I thought just the juice. Then I went into YouTube and couldn’t tell. Then I noticed it said juicer. So it wouldn’t matter I guess. The peel would be pretty potent. You should try both and let us know.
You don’t use the peel. All you want is the juice, however you get it.
He said the entire lemon.
He did say the entire lemon. Skin and all :-)
Dr. Axe recommends the whole lemon…peel and all, in this recipe. If you read above the nutritional value, you will see where he recommends the whole lemon.
Is there a diabetic version. High in carbs and sugar!!!
I’d say just avoid the pineapple.
Oh and the green apple too.
Also high in potassium! Not kidney friendly. I would guess leave out the spinach if that is a concern.
How many times a day do I drink this
Once a day will suffice. If not used to drinking such a mixture, you may have more liquid-like stool for a few days.
Can I put the ingredients into my vita mix and drink it that way.
Go for it! Probably will be nice and chunky. Strain it after if you’re unable to tolerate. I use blendtech. Wish I had a juice press.
Looks super good & tasty
Anybody know of a substitute for the ginger? I just cannot stand ginger.
Someone in my family doesn’t like ginger and they said yuzu lemons are a grest subsitute. Ginger flavor but not too powerful.
Very useful especially in dealing with body inflammation. I am going to make the juice for my body to heal. Thank you Dr Axe
When would be the best time of day to have this anti-inflammatory juice
Dear Dr. Axe,
Can you drink this juice every day?
I made some today for my wife and saved some for tomorrow.
Is it ok to drink it every day?
Joshua
Hi Joshua! Yes, you can drink this juice every day, unless you or your wife feel any stomach distress. If that’s the case, then take a break for a week.
where can I find a book on recipe and the meaning behind them
I made today this juice…for inflamation..I have osteoarthritis and celery juice helped the inlf,atiin but its a boring drink
I made this drink today really liked it ..ginger was very steong…how many times a week should I drink it, and dose it has tobe early befor breakfast must like celery juice…
I look forward to hearing from you
why will nobody answer the question as to when and how often you should drink this?
Debbie read the above dr answered , every day or 3 times a week
Wouldn’t spinach completely defeat the purpose of drinking this since spinach, especially uncooked, prevents the body from absorbing nutrients and vitamins?
Hi Chelsea, Will you list the source of your information. I just searched the internet and must have missed evidence of your claim.
Thank you
I was thinking that too as the oxalates in spinach are extremely painful especially for the kidneys. Read up on liam hemsworth giving up veganism. Do oxalates go into juice?
I desperately want to make this drink as I Suffer from inflammation. I’ll be using a blender. However…
1) can I use canned pineapple?
2)do I peel the lemon or include the entire lemon in the mix?
1) I drink many types of canned pineapple and some can make you ill and aren’t worth it. If you get the large can of dole, it’s best. With all of these, fresh is ideal when possible but not always feasible
2) yes all of it’s edible and you want to eat whole, clean foods
Love this juice. I make it every other day. So refreshing. It sure helps with my arthritis issues. I need to buy a new juicer though.
It seems more and more people are allergic to something or have an illness these days. Trendy diets of no soy, vegan, no GMO, Organic blah blah and more and more people are getting sick. whatever happened to a sensible diet and getting off your bums and move more that is what people did in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and they ate meat and tators.
Hello Dr. Axe,
I have a question for you. If I juice a piece of organic ginger do I need to peal it.?
I have a doctor’s question about these juices. Is it suitable for ulcerative colon patients?
I have downloaded a pdf about anti-inflammatory diets and lie for ulcerative colon patients eating these diets. Thank you, Doctor, for your assistance
Hi Dr. Axe, thanks so much for this recipe. How often do you take this juice? Blessings
Thank you for your wisdom and sharing it. I need recipes for carotid arteries narrowing and Hypothyroid, and weight loss. Thanks again, Tammy
Is anyone that wrote/manages the article going to answer the questions-how often should we drink this as I & a couple more asked?! Thank you.
Copied and pasted from feed above.
Yes, you can drink this juice every day, unless you or your wife feel any stomach distress. If that’s the case, then take a break for a week.
When is the best time to drink this?
Can u freeze this juice with compromising the effectiveness. Was hoping to make a week supply at one time and freeze.
how much do u drink a day
Thank you very much for this wonderful recipe.
I would like to receive further recipes for guts healing if possible.
Can I substitute for pineapple juice ?
I suffer from undifferentiated connective tissue disease. My rheumatologist has helped me get back to a healthy me again however, he also recommended reading Dr. Axe anti-inflammatory recipe and Celery juice as well as a good diet with lots of vegetables. No flour or sugar and low carb. I gained a lot of weight being on Prednisone for well over a year. Being correctly diagnosed and seeing a specialist I am now able to loss weight again and care for myself with out the fatigue and other symptoms that go hand in hand with this disease.
I am very excited about this anti-inflammatory drink. I have read some comments about pineapple and allergies….maybe berries such as blueberries or strawberries can take the place those are both anti-inflammatories too. Just a thought.
Hi Marjorie, I hope this finds you well. My dad is about to start taking prednisone every day and I would love to hear from someone who has actually taken it consistently. Can you please email me your email address so I can ask you some questions? Sincerely Melanie

I have made a ” smoothie “, similiar to this juice, for a number of year. .., I use celery, cucumber, ginger, green apple, lime, and the pineapple. It is delicious!! And the most beautiful pale green colour, it kind of looks like a pistachio coloured milkshake! Thank you Dr. Axe !
Do you use the whole lemon??? I’d like to try this in my Vitamix.
Hi Dr Axe…. am on keto diet.., not having fruit. I have sore hands,fingers . I think its inflammation / arthritis. Can i have this juice , it contains apple & pineapple. Thanks for your advice.
My husband n I make these juices every morning and have done so fo 30 years. We are mid 70, s and never get sick and don,t look old, we have smooth skin and a healthy body. We use a cold press juicer as the wizzbang juicer get hot and kill the enzimes….
Too much vit. k. Any substitute, I’m taking Warfarin.
Thank you !
Dr.
For sure I will drink every day.
What if you don’t have a juicer & can’t afford one – any worth its salt is expensive. Can you just blend it until its almost like juice even though it will have all the fibrous parts still in it?
Also, how can a person get to where the star ratings already registered can be read? Clicking on a star only registers it as a vote & a click on a low star could mess up the accuracy of the rating system & turn people away from using the recipe. Thank you.
Your star rating system has problems. I clicked it to see if I could see a breakdown of the ratings and it registered it as a vote. I was unable to remove or change the vote. This could explain why the juice recipes have low overall ratings.
I have more than plaque psoriasis I have gastroparesis type 2 diabetes osteoarthritis fibro and am looking for health care not keep doing sick care ugh HELP!!!
I have also not received my VIP access but I have a questions. What if you have a sensitivity to celery? what can I add instead to the anti inflammatory juice?
hi i have been diagnose of deffuse b cell lymphoma cancer and have a problem with my kidneys can i add beetroot to the ingrediens

How often should I be drinking the anti-inflammatory drink ? Once a day two times a week?
Thank you for sharing, my son has cancer and I was looking for things to make to help him to over come it because I will not give up. I think if the food is high in vitamins and proteins will help him to get well . Thank you !
When I lived in Nashville I use to go to Dr. Axe. He is one of the most amazing guys and I love following his career along with his advice on doing stuff more natural. I was able to cut my cholesterol levels in half thanks to him and my normal doctor was blown away. Keep up the great work!
Both my husband and I are using this and it not only works, it works FAST!!! Seeing relief in in about 1/2 a day.
I am also doing your Secret Detox drink. I have found that if I do both of these that my planter Faciatis is taken from a level 5 in pain to about 1.5. So yes, these two work, work fast and work well.
An added bonus is that I had some really bad acne on my face. It cleared up by 75% in two days. Unbelievable. And I am on the Keto diet and couldn’t get rid of it!!!!! Thank you Dr. Axe. You are such a blessing to so many. God richly bless you!
Fats and proteins on the keto diet I bet would be the inflammatory combination for skin. I could imagine the vitamin c and anti inflammatory compounds helping out the skin in clearing it up. My thought is it would increase circulation for detoxing there.
Need to rework the main page i was reading. In one paragraph it talks about the anti inflammatory diet and it is highlighted as a link. When you click it, it takes you to the juice recipe not the diet. Should state that the diet info is further down on the main page. Would keep people from wondering why they don’t get the diet info when the click the link.
Thank you
Hello,
What are your recommendations for uterine cancer(sarcoma) removal. It was a stage 1. It’s considered rare and aggressive. I want to stay cancer free.
Hi Ronda,
You can find varies articles on cancer from my site you may found helpful here: https://draxe.com/?s=cancer.
I cannot give a proper recommendation without knowing your full medical history and the scope of your condition. I highly recommend you consult a local specialist.
I am wishing you all the best in your health journey. Blessings to you and yours.
HI,
I have been on medicines for depression and anxiety for years which don’t seem to work. I have severe bloating in my abdominal area. I live being constipated. When I have some movement it is hard, thin and very sticky. Constantly with headaches and nausea. Fatique and general aches and pains. Recently I started having psuedo seizures. Blood test shows my ANA count indicates possible Lupus. I had Raynauds several yrs. ago after 12 surgeries for MRSA infections. I have also been diagnosed with having a redundant colon. I feel so sick that I believe I will die soon without help. My family is also alarmed at the shape I’m in and talk openly about how poor my countenance is and especially the lack of life in my eyes. I have stopped taking vitamins that I once took daily (15-20)because the bloating is so severe it is difficult to want to swallow anything. I greatly value any advice and will follow any suggestions. Please help!
Dear Dani,
I am not a doc, just a fellow human who does not want you to suffer. You deserve much better medical treatment and help that brings actual improvement. You deserve to be vibrantly healthy and happy.
I hope you can find a doc who can give you nutritional IVs. These are NOT the kind one gets in a standard hospital. I am talking about things like IV vitamin C, IV glutathione and such. This puts need nutrients directly into the blood, bypassing the need to digest, but it is very much a rare/”boutique”/ non-insurance ($$) sort of thing. Docs who treated lyme sometimes offer this treatment. God bless (or whatever you believe in.)
Hi Dani,
I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. Without knowing your complete medical history, I cannot give you a proper recommendation. You can, however, find a like-minded practitioner in your area here: https://maxliving.com/.
I am wishing you health and happiness! Blessings.
Dr. Axe, you wrote “You can, however, find a like-minded practitioner in your area here: https://maxliving.com/.
I’m puzzled because this link appears to be mainly about chiropractic, which I don’t want, and the locations link doesn’t give any info about doctors’ locations, doctors who use your kind of knowledge and treatment. Another poster said the same thing about a different link that did not get to what it was supposed to. Are there some glitches in the links you offer?
In addition to Dr Axe inflammatory can you also consider looking at Mannatech products especially Ambrotose powder form or capsules supplements. Look it up on mannatech websites
Much Thanks for this great antiinflamatory concoction.
Well studied, what a blessing to all of us. Hanks again.
maybe you have a mast cell disorder. mcas, mcad or something.
Hi Dani,
I found Dr. Terry Wahls protocol helped a lot of people including me. I have inflammation issues and auto-immune disease and I followed her protocol and I was able to manage my inflammation without pills. I bought the book and followed what she said. She has a podcast as well if you are interested. Here some examples of what you can find online: “What I Eat In A Day: Functional Medicine Doctor Terry Wahls Tells All”, “About The Wahls Protocol | Dr. Terry Wahls, MD & Author” – Just google her and you will find a lot of info about her. This is a game changer for me. Hope it will help you too.
Get on the GAPS diet ASAP!
I’m not a doctor but have a health bachelor’s degree. Drinking water helps relieve constipation. I bet if you solve the constipation you wouldn’t need all those vitamins, as that’s too many and could even contribute to it (iron increases it. Look for chelated). After you get better or worse, let us know if you’d like so you can get more helpful info here.
You are amazing. And my new and only doctor! When it comes to dropping the pills and picking the food instead! Bless you! What’s your YouTube? Loved the videos!! Gotta sub!
In the anti inflammatory juice it calls for 1 cup of pineapple,I am allergic to pineapple is there anything I can substitute it with ? And still get the same benefits .
No, just suffer.
Really? Who is allergic to pineapple?
I am allergic to pineapple as well. In fact it is quite common
there are more people then you would think, thats not nice. You dont know any better so its best to look into the reasons someone might be then just starting off sounding not just like a jerk but some one with out knowlege. I realze i am not the smartest. i probably suck at grammer. No one should find faults in one. encourge , be mindful. Im sure your a great person , just think first.
Barb is jerk.
Should I peel the ginger first before juicing or use the peeling as well
No need, as the juicer will extract the juice from the skin and pulp.
Yes. You can buy the bromelain supplement at a vitamin store. But be careful imbecause if you’re allergic to pineapple you could be allergic to bromelain. If you try it just be prepared to counter a reaction.
Barb, I’m not sure if this helps you, however my son is allergic to apples. We substitute beets for the apples. The juice will be red and that is helpful to get my older kids and husband to drink it.
Should you have this once a day? Three times a week? How often should you have one for it to be beneficial to your health?
Thanks :)
I would love to know the answer to this also.
the first website that I really was attracted to, visually appealing and very understandable and easy to use, LOVE EVERYTHING so far and I am reading more, Thank you :)
Still waiting for my VIP access to the three things I saw when I AGAIN registered, which I was told would only take 5 minutes to reach my inbox, but it’s been almost 24 hours. What is the problem??? I always used to receive emails and now NOTHING…very frustrating.
will try this and share with family too 😊
Me too .
