Is there a specific diet that can help me manage my joint pain better? I have lupus, so I often have to deal with inflammation around my joints.

Diet can have a modest effect. The Mediterranean diet is most widely recommended but plant based diets can be helpful
Consider a high unsaturated fat diet.
Great Question! According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), though, there's not enough evidence to support the use of particular herbs or spices still a number of herbs and spices do have anti-inflammatory properties.
