Arthritis Natural Cures, Home Remedies & Treatments

 

Arthritis Causes, Symptoms and Cures

Diet Cures Arthritis

Joint pain can be classified into two forms of arthritis which are “inflammatory” and “degenerative.” In most cases, all forms of arthritis will respond totally to diet.  It can be cured by diet alone.  The name most often given to degenerative arthritis is osteoarthritis.  This is helped with weight loss, dietary change, acupuncture and glucosamine.  Inflammatory arthritis includes Lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic and rheumatoid.  These respond very well to a low fat vegan diet as taught by Dr. John McDougall, M.D., a board certified internist, and others.  Specifically, around 70% of people with rheumatoid arthritis will experience dramatic positive improvements, and often a cure, within 4 weeks after making a change in diet.  The diet is easy but must be strictly followed.  As improvements occur, you will be able to reduce and then stop your medications.  Go here to Dr. McDougall’s website to learn more.

Glucosamine Home Remedy

Cartilage that covers the abutting surfaces of two bones is constructed, in part, from glucosamine. This is a naturally occuring substance made from sea shells that have been ground to powder. Medical research literature has reported the arthritis healing benefits of glucosamine for over 35 years. This vital supplement can give enduring pain relief and operational mobility of joints by promoting the buildup of cartilage, lowering degradation of the cartilage and by lowering inflammation. Glucosamine also works to stop the destruction of cells in the cartilage not only bringing a halt to joint degradation, but actually turning it around so that damage is healed and new cartilage begins to grow. In the 2004 April issue of the medical journal Menopause, medical researchers wrote that the use of glucosamine will put and end to the advance of osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis) of the knee in women who had already gone through menopause. And it gets even better.  There was actually an improvement in cartilage health and consistency, on average, in the knee joints of the 319 women that were examined and studied. The group of participants that had the placebo developed a worsening of their condition. The participants took 1500 mg by capsule once every day.  This is one of the most promising home remedies for osteoarthritis.

Omega 3 Oil

Omega 3 oil has been demonstrated in many medical studies to lower inflammation.  In fact, we could regard it as a miracle substance for all the health problems it aids or alleviates. Flax seed oil is just as effective as oil from fish and you don’t ingest the mercury and other harmful contaminants that are found in the fish.

Boswellia Serrata

Also known as Indian Frankencense, it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to provide relief from arthritis. A number of clinical studies have demonstrated that Boswellia is effective in reducing inflammation. One well-designed medical research study provided solid evidence that Boswellia has anti-inflammatory properties. The primary constituent, Boswellic acid, has been shown to enhance and promote healthy tissue in the joints, maintain circulation of blood in the joints and enhance mobility of joints in testing on animals without any known side effects. In yet another clinical study, it was reported that Boswellia exhibited great value in relieving pain in the elbow joint, loosening stiff muscles in the joint, and reducing inflammation. In this study Boswellia was administered along with Turmeric and Ashwagandha. Of the 42% of persons participating, 93% reported significant pain improvement along with increased mobility and overall joint health. Both of these studies were double-blind, placebo controlled and randomized.

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Cured

My 5 year old son was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis for which we found this natural home remedy.  Billy was on 35 mg of Prednisone which a a powerful steroid and 1200 mg of ibuprofen every day. I am a dentist and was attending a dental association meeting where by chance I met Dr. John McDougall, MD, a board certified internist, and talked to him about Billy’s condition. Billy was in such great pain that he cried and screamed night and day.  In one year he not only lost weight but did not grow any at all.  His blood showed a sed rate of 40 plus.  This is an indication of the inflammation severity and should not be over 5.  That day Dr. McDougall suggested that I remove all animal products from Billy’s diet and also refined and processed carbohydrates.  In six months we were able to have Billy off all medications and he was totally free of pain!  He started gaining weight and sprouting up like a weed.  His most recent blood test and a wonderful sed rate of 1!  We are so grateful!  Google Dr. McDougall.

Arthritis Natural Treatment Pain Relief

I have suffered from the pain and effects of arthritis for a long time.  I not only felt the pain but also I was a victim to having limitations with my physical mobility.  I also got to the point to where I was putting on excess weight.  This is a horrible illness and it’s sad to see how many people are affected with it.  I have tried the traditional approach of treating this illness.  I use to use heating pads or warm water and soak my hands.  I tried to use ice on my hands.  I tried to use exercise to give strength, flexibility, and loosen up joints.  I started out using acetaminophen and this didn’t seem strong enough.  So then I started using Ibuprophen.  Eventually, I was using three Ibuprophen every four hours to no avail.  Then I started suffering from anemia.  After going to my doctor; I realized that I was low on iron.  Then it was discovered that my stomach lining was affected and I had bleeding that caused blood loss and the resulting anemia.  This was from taking too much Ibuprophen.  All of this and it was hardly helping at all anyway.  Finally, I was able to quit using the Ibuprophen and it took me six months of taking iron supplementation to finally get my iron levels right and have some energy again.  All of this experience and I still had the original arthritic pain and lack of mobility that got me started on this path.  I also tried MSO and Glucosamine hoping that this would help provide relief.  I went to my doctor and he prescribed a Vicodin narcotic pain killer.  This would help to take some of the edge off.  I found I kept having to increase the dosage to get the same effect.  I would tend to get sleepy.  Then I would have to drink lots of coffee to counteract the sleepiness from the pain killer.  Also, I found that not only did I become sleepy, but I also would become very forgetful and had a hard time focusing.  Finally, I realized that this wasn’t going to be a good approach for me to take in battling my arthritis.  It took a while but I finally got weaned off of the pain killer.  I forgot to mention that I also was given steroid treatment by my doctor and this didn’t even help enough. All this effort to treat my arthritis and still I didn’t get any reprieve from my condition.  I even began to experience early signs of depression.  I got so I didn’t even want to get out of bed in the morning.  The pain and frustration grew so much that I began to lose all momentum I had, to find a cure.  I actually ended up going to my doctor and he gave me a prescription of Paxil just to keep my spirits up.  Well all this did, was make me initially feel hyper and impulsive, then even more anxious.  Eventually, I had to wean off of this as it was causing me to feel these weird brain rushes.  I used to play the guitar and draw and use my hands in a variety of ways; but, now I couldn’t.  I guess I’m saying that my overall quality of life was greatly affected by arthritis.   I finally got angry as I determined that this horrible illness wasn’t fair and not only myself but too many people are afflicted with this condition. My anger fueled my resolve to find a treatment that will work once and for all. 

Well I have finally found the relief I’ve been seeking.  It is by using traditional natural therapies (Biogetica).  I realize the importance of not looking past the effectiveness and safety of natural therapies in treating arthritis and RA.  There is a comprehensive relief system to successfully treat arthritis. This includes:  ayurvedic herbs, resonance homeopathy, and biotechnology.  This approach will relieve the pain and inflammation.  It will also help you regain flexibility in your joints and help to increase the strength of your muscles, cartilages, and ligaments.  This treatment approach goes at the root of arthritis and will work at eliminating the cause.  It provides the sufferer freedom from the pains and restriction cause by arthritis.

Gin & Raisins

A great arthritis natural remedy is to soak a pound of golden raisins in a pint of gin.  Put the raisins in a glass bowl and completely cover the raisins with gin.  Cover the glass bowl to prevent evaporation.  In about 5 to 7 days the raisins will have absorbed all the gin they can.  Occasionally stir the raisins.  When the raisins are done, put them in a glass jar minus any excess gin.  Don’t refrigerate this.  Every day, eat 12 of these raisins.  There will be less than one drop of alcohol total left in these 12 raisins.  The alcohol leaches out certain healing compounds in the raisins and this is what produces the arthritis relief.  I was in constant pain with inability to move my neck. I went to several specialists and spent a lot of money.  I was told I would have to learn to live with the pain.  I saw this home remedy on television and they were talking about how incredible it is.  Two weeks after I started the remedy I was totally pain free!  On the television show they said it could take 4 to 8 weeks but for me it was only two weeks!

Olive Oil Arthritis Home Remedy

I have an uncle who had been a distance runner for many years and in the latter year or two had developed arthritis.  One day while on a run he developed severe pain in his right knee.  The x-ray showed a torn meniscus and his pain was horrible.  Because of circumstances beyond his control he had to schedule his surgery for 4 weeks later.  While waiting for surgery, he had the idea that perhaps he could lubricate the knee as the meniscus is the cartilage that provides a cushion in the joint.  He used a small cloth soaked in extra virgin olive oil further wrapped with plastic wrap that was held in place by an ace bandage.  For a couple of days, he did not notice anything different but on the third day he could walk again with only a little pain.  On the fourth day he was totally pain free.  By the seventh day he was running again!  It is now over 4 years since the incident and he had no surgery and his meniscus has healed completely.  Later he began to have arthritis in his hands and he applied the same home remedy and it worked for that as well.

Black Cherry Juice

A natural cure for arthritis is to drink one quarter cup of black cherry juice daily.  After about two or three months; you’ll see results.  You can’t give up.  You must keep drinking the juice.  The Knudsen brand from Chico, CA is great.  It is 100% pure and is an unsweetened juice.

***

Bee Sting Cure

Unfortunately, my family has been very familiar with arthritis.  It has been years that we have used this natural remedy.  Where you have the pain, find a honey bee and sting yourself there.  I know this may be frightening, but it really works.  The only problem is if you are allergic to bees.  If this is the case, then never mind.

***

Capsaicin

According to a study done at Queens Hospital Center in Jamaica, New York, capsaicin cream can be very effective home remedy for relieving arthritis pain.  It should be rubbed into the affected areas 3 or 4 times every day.  This should be done for a minimum of two weeks before any improvement will begin to surface.  At first it is normal to feel a burning sensation for a few days but this will stop as the applications continue.  Capsaicin is the "hot" in hot peppers.  The research project was conducted by Esther Lipstein-Kresch, M.D. who is an assistant professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York City.  Be advised to wash your hands thoroughly after using the capsaicin cream because it is too easy to absent mindedly rub your eyes sometime after the application.  Wearing thin rubber gloves may also be a good idea.  There are a number of over-the-counter creams with capsaicin.

***

Whole Foods

Stop eating all processed, devitalized food.  Eat only natural whole grains, vegetables and fruits as this is one of the best arthritis natural home remedies and even a cure.  Avoid alcohol, tea, coffee, sugar,  and meat.  When eating these types of foods, blood cells will be incapable of getting rid of impurities in the system.  Food should be thoroughly chewed so that it is well mixed with saliva as an aid to efficient digestion.  Doing this will go further than anything to help create the natural alkaline PH the body needs.  You can get very good results with an extended fruit diet.  Drink slippery elm tea while doing the fruit diet. 

***

Steam Bath & Pleurisy Tea

Take a steam bath every day to help stimulate circulation and eliminate impurities.  Drink two or three cups of pleurisy tea.  Put one teaspoon of pleurisy root in a cup of water that has been brought to a boil and steep it for about 20 minutes.  Drink this while in the sweat bath.  A deep massage after the bath is helpful but do not massage painful joints if there is inflammation present.

***

Herbal Concoction

Mix equal parts of the following herbs:  gentian root, columbo, black cohosh, valerian, skullcap buckthorn bark and rue.  Of this mixture, put a heaping teaspoon in a cup of water that has been brought to a boil.  Steep and drink 3 or more cups every day.  Drink one-half cupful at a time.

***

Herbal Poultice

You can make a good poultice for inflamed joints with the following recipe.  Use 2 tablespoons of mullein, 1 tablespoon of lobelia, 3 tablespoons of granulated slippery elm bark and 1 small teaspoon of cayenne.  Mix this together and then add enough boiling water to make a thick paste.  Make a layer of this past about ¼ of an inch thick on a cloth.  Apply this to inflamed joints and you will get a lot of relief.

***

Lobelia Oil

Another very good pain reliever is to mix equal parts of oil of lobelia and oil of origanum and then put in a few drops of capsicum or or extract of capsicum (red pepper).  This mixture can be put on arthritic joints directly or diluted with coconut oil.  Massage the area very well with this mixture.
