I'd recommend adding nettle to your diet to help with the arthritis.
You can drink it as a tea and it's quite nice but tbh I think you get better mileage from using dried nettle leaves as a substitute for dried parsley and/or as an addition to where you would use spinach. It's very nutritious too.
Basically, if you're going to make something like spinach and ricotta lasagna then you can add a heaping pile of dried nettle leaves (anywhere from a tablespoon to a handful) and you won't even notice it.
I think you need to be a little cautious about incorporating it into your diet early on because too much can cause diarrhoea and stomach upsets but once you've adjusted to it then you can go hard on it.
Nettles have been a subsistence food and peasant food for centuries, if not millennia. It's prole af.
The newest leaves also makes a great pesto.
Never heard of that, interesting, I'll look into it!
