Treating Arthritis Naturally

Treating Arthritis Naturally
Mike Law

There are actually three common types of arthritis. These are Osteoarthritis which is the most common, affecting around 16 million Americans with an average age of 45. It usually will attack weight bearing joints like knees, hips, and ankles but has been found in the fingers, neck and spine. Each of our joints is cushioned by cartilage, a very dense, sponge-like substance. Osteoarthritis attacks that cartilage and gradually wears it down.

Another type of arthritis is Rheumatoid Arthritis. Extremely painful and inflammatory, it strikes the lining of the joints and actually attacks two million Americans in their twenties.

Psoriatic Arthritis is not as well known as the previous two, but actually eats away at the joints and can also manifest as psoriasis on the skin.

The term Arthritis literally translates to joint inflammation. If you suffer from any of the different types of Arthritis listed above, chances are you have taken drugs to combat the effects or tried other home remedies. If you havent
yet tried Urtication, it might be helpful. The term Urtication comes from the botanical name, Urtica dioica and dates back some 2,000 years to biblical times. Urtica dioica is Stinging Nettle. The treatment is to grasp the nettles in a gloved hand and swat the sore joints with the
nettles. This may seem bizarre, but the practice has proven to be so effective for some sufferers of arthritis that they now maintain a nettle plant on their window sill.

Here are a few more herbs that are used effectively for the treatment of arthritis:

Black Cohosh
Also known as Black Snakeroot, Bugbane, Rattleroot, Rattleweed, Squawroot. The dried root is the part used. This is a powerful relaxant as well as being extremely effective with easing painful menstrual cramps. Ovarian cramps will be relieved as well as bringing on a delayed
menstrual cycle. It is also effective in the treatment of arthritis, osteo-arthritis, rheumatic pain and neurological pain. In small doses, appetite and digestion are greatly improved and is very beneficial for the nervous system in
general.

Bogbean
Useful for treatment of rheumatism, osteo-arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Also has a stimulating effect on the walls of the colon and digestive juices.

Celery Seeds
Use dried ripe fruits to use as an anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, diuretic or anti-spasmodic. Great for treating rheumatism, arthritis and gout.

Chapparal
Very useful in cases of acne, arthritis, chronic backache, skin conditions of warts and blotches. Also one of the best cancer herbs.

Feverfew
Use the leaves to treat migraine headaches, arthritis, dizziness and tinnitus.

Nettle
The is the herb we referred to earlier and is another one of those universal plants. They are found all over the world and they strengthen the entire body. Rheumatism, arthritis, eczema, nosebleeds, arteries, lessen blood pressure are
just a few applications. Nettles contain calcium, chlorine, iron, potassium, silicon, sodium and sulphur.

Saffron
A natural hydrochloric acid (utilizes sugar of fruits and oils), thus helping arthritics get rid of the uric acid which holds the calcium deposited in the joints. Also reduces lactic acid build up. Good for measles, skin, scarlet fever and perspiration.

Yucca
Hope for arthritics. The extract from the plant has been used with surprising success on arthritis and rheumatism sufferers.

All of the herbs mentioned here should be available at your local health food store along with suggestions on how to prepare them for use. Some applications will be to ingest in teas while others may facilitate creating a topical treatment.

No matter what natural remedies you choose please consult your physician to make certain that your course of treatment does not interfere with medications that your doctor subscribes for your treatment.

Relief for Arthritis

Inflammation or degeneration of the joints is a common problem
especially as one ages, and sufferers are constantly on the
lookout for arthritis
relief.

Popping a pill may be the first thought that comes to mind,
perhaps a pain killer or one of the anti-inflammatory
medications. The latter come in the form of pills, ointments,
gels or salves and may provide the desired relief. However, if
the problem persists, use of medication should be discussed with
a physician so the sufferer is aware of possible side-effects
and precautions with their use.

In spite of the pain, moderate daily exercise, such as swimming,
walking, or perhaps physical therapy is critical if the
arthritis sufferer is to maintain mobility in the joints. A
therapist will help design an exercise program which, when
interspersed with rest periods, will help reduce joint
inflammation. Moist heat is helpful in reducing pain and
increasing ease of movement. Heat is soothing and infra-red is a
penetrating heat. Placed about 60cm or 24inches from the
affected joint, for about 20 minutes, up to 3 times daily, it
may be helpful, especially just before beginning an exercise
routine. However, there is probably no long term benefit.

A physiotherapist may give advice on maintaining correct
posture, during sitting and standing. Some individuals seek
relief from various forms of alternative medicine. . Needless to
say, excess body weight aggravates the problem.

In severe cases, surgical procedures may be necessary;
artificial joints may be implanted to replace those damaged
beyond repair.

Some detective work on the part of the sufferer may be called
for. By determining when the symptoms pop up, it may be possible
to manage some of the suffering. Pain in a joint may be felt
during or after use, or after a period of inactivity. Discomfort
may signal a change in the weather or be felt during it.

Although there’s no cure for arthritis, available treatments can
relieve pain and help you remain active. At the first signs of
the illness, treatment should begin. Rest and easy exercise such
as swimming may be effective starting points along with some
over the counter medications to ease the pain and improve joint
functioning.

Among the treatments your doctor may suggest are medication,
self-care, physical therapy and occupational therapy.
Occasionally surgery is recommended.

In addition, how well you live with arthritis often depends on
your behaviors and attitude. If you actively manage your
arthritis, you may be able to gain control over your pain.

Natural Relief for Arthritis

Natural Relief for Arthritis

Many arthritis sufferers do not like the idea of conventional
medicine as a means of treating their ailment. They want natural arthritis
relief.

There are those who claim that, if a pill comes from ingredients
from a plant, it is therefore “natural” and suitable for human
consumption. They ignore the fact that extracts of plants and
herbs are chemicals – and some chemicals can kill!

Prescription medicines have undergone numerous tests, following
rigid procedures until there is evidence that any drug or
treatment really does work. Most natural products have not
undergone such testing.

Many so-called “quack” remedies fall in the “natural” category;
their acceptance depends on the fact that, for some unknown
reason, the pain of arthritis tends to flare up and then
subside. Frequently the symptoms subside while the patient is
taking a particular “miracle cure” and the arthritis sufferer
believes he or she is cured. However, it is not uncommon for the
symptoms to return, worse than ever. The fact is, virtually any
new treatment, effective or not, often seems to help at first,
simply because the sufferer wants it to so desperately.

Willow Bark is an example of how “natural” remedies can gain
their reputation. Willow Bark is used in treating arthritis but
its’ effect is a result of the salicylates or everyday aspirin
it contains. Devil’s Claw is also used to treat arthritis – and
it is an analgesic (pain killer)that makes people consider it a
“natural” remedy.

A product prepared from freeze-dried extract of green-lipped New
Zealand mussels was touted as being effective in relieving the
painful swelling and stiffness of arthritis; a variety of
gold-based compounds make up a variety of drugs which
temporarily banish the painful symptoms of arthritis; relief
from arthritic pain is sought by many, especially sportsmen,
wearing magnetic bracelets. Does it matter if these products
actually work – or if the individuals just believe they do?

Actually it does matter: many of the untested products can cause
serious side-effects – especially over the long term.

And what of our diets? Numerous theories have come and gone,
including a “No Nightshade” diet et which eliminates members of
the nightshade family of plants. Another theory “advised
sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis to eat like the Eskimos!”
Current advice follows along the lines of that given for
sufferers of heart problems: eat lots of fish, cut back on
animal fats, include plenty of fruits and vegetables. Experiment
with eliminating dairy products. Does it make a difference in
joint pain or stiffness?

Some of the most natural ways of dealing with arthritis may be
just plain common sense: losing excess weight, mild exercise,
reasonable rest, using moist and local heat to give the joint
flexibility.

Arthritis tortures and disables more Americans than any other
chronic disease. No wonder there is such a call for arthritis help.

Unfortunately, “quack” remedies are common. Their acceptance
depends on the fact that, for some unknown reason, the pain of
arthritis tends to flare up and then subside. Frequently the
symptoms subside while the patient is taking a particular
“miracle cure” and the arthritis sufferer believes he or she is
cured. However, it is not uncommon for the symptoms to return,
worse than ever. The fact is, virtually any new treatment,
effective or not, often seems to help at first, simply because
the sufferer wants it to so desperately. By determining when
symptoms pop up, it may be possible to manage some of the
suffering. Pain in a joint may be felt during or after use, or
after a period of inactivity. Discomfort may signal a change in
the weather or be felt during it.

There’s no cure for arthritis but available treatments can
relieve pain and help one remain active. Treatment should begin
at the first signs of the illness. Rest and easy exercise such
as swimming can ease stress on the joints.

Over the counter medications may help to ease the pain and
improve joint functioning. A physician should be consulted early
in the disease to establish a plan of dealing with it.

Perhaps the first point to consider is the importance of
reducing excess weight. Excess weight puts a serious burden on
already inflamed or damaged joints. The sufferer can ease the
load by using a cane to take weight off the arthritic hip or
knee. Crutches or a walker can be helpful around the house.

Moist heat is helpful in reducing pain and increasing ease of
movement. A simple hot bath or shower can be effective in easing
early-morning stiffness. Local heat can do much to relieve
discomfort and stiffness. Heat lamps can be used to apply heat
to one or two stiff, aching joints. An electric heating pad is
good for a large area such as the back or a hip. Twenty minutes
is an adequate time period.

In severe cases, surgical procedures may be necessary;
artificial joints may be implanted to replace those damaged
beyond repair.

Attitude can be a major factor in helping deal with this
frustrating ailment. It is important not to concentrate on the
disease but rather expand your horizons away from your body. Do
interesting things; try meditation and relaxation techniques.
Don’t concentrate on your disease. You are not your disease, but
a person who happens to have arthritis.
