aspirin is the original and some would argue still the best way to that.
Steroids are another way if you're really serious about it.

I posted about the link between mental illness and inflammation in this forum.
http://www.abolitionist-society.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1199Aspirin is anti-inflammatory and it might have antidepressant properties.
I think omega 3 fatty acids reduce inflammatory cytokines.
http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/21/6/495Curcumin can be bought as a supplement. It is supposed to reduce inflammation and cytokines.

It has promise for treating several brain disorders like alzheimer's, depression and schizophrenia.

Other natural alternatives would be lactoferrin and certain types of probiotics. It depends on what cytokines you are trying to lower, i.e. for what associated condition.
