Arthritis and Natural Pain Relief

Arthritis is an inflammatory disease that typically attacks the joints in the body. Even though it can happen at any point in our life, arthritis typically occurs in those that are older than 55 years of age. An interesting thing is, however, not all arthritis is the same. In fact, there are dozens of different conditions that fall under the term of arthritis that would actually have different causes at the root of the problem. This can make it difficult for diagnosis and treatment as each individual must be treated as unique.

Although medical science does not do much for us in the way of treating our arthritis, natural medicine does offer some solutions that many have claimed have helped in a large way. The good thing about natural arthritis relief is that it does more than treat the symptoms, such as inflammation and pain. What it does is get to the root of the problem and attempt to cure it from there. That is what most of us are looking for anyway, a natural cure and not simply a way to overcome the symptoms that we are experiencing.

One of the most popular natural arthritis cures was made famous by radio personality, Paul Harvey. It is known as the gin soaked raisins arthritis cure. It is a simple matter of soaking a dozen raisins in gin overnight and then eating them throughout the day. There is not enough alcohol to have an effect on you but many have claimed amazing results in a short period of time.

Another way to treat your arthritis naturally is through the use of herbal supplementation. There are many different herbs that are found in the wild that have anti-inflammatory properties and may actually help to treat your arthritis from the root cause. Even though none of these herbs are proven to help, far too many people have claimed that they have given them relief for it to be a coincidence. The real problem lies in deciding which supplementation routine you’re going to take and then sticking with it for the long term.

One of the easiest ways to do this is through the use of an all in one herbal supplementation program. Not only will this help you to be able to stick with taking the herbs, it keeps them in the correct proportion. It may even contains some herbs that you did not consider taking in the first place and helps them all to interact with each other in the proper way. Because your arthritis condition did not happen overnight, you cannot expect to cure it overnight either. Going with an all in one supplement will help you to be able to take this for the long term and be successful with combating your problem with arthritis.

Suffering from arthritis pain is not necessary, especially when so many people have been helped by means of natural supplementation. Because each of us are individuals and we deal with our problem on an individual level, it’s nice to be able to find something that treats the root cause of our inflammatory disease. By starting today and sticking with it for the long run, you may be able to enjoy a pain-free future.

Natural Supplements For Arthritis Body Pain

Arthritis is believed to be the oldest discovered body pain ailment of mankind. Scientists have even found this disease in the joints of some dinosaurs and even mummies!

The term arthritis means “joint inflammation.” While there are several-hundred forms of arthritis, the most common are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Regardless of type, common arthritic symptoms include pain in the joints, redness and swelling of the joints and loss of joint function. The pain of osteoarthritis gradually worsens with use over the course of the day, whereas the pain of rheumatoid arthritis tends to be worse on waking and improves as the day progresses.

Despite advances in medical science, the best arthritis relievers are the natural ones. Safe care, no side effects.  While store shelves are stocked with the popular arthritis supplements, here are three powerful supplements you may not have heard of but have been shown to relieve arthritis body pain and inflammation.

Hydraflexin

The development of Hydraflexin began by accident years ago when a brilliant and well-respected researcher at the University of Chile, Dr. Juan Hanke, was a hired by a pharmaceutical company seeking a cure for the common cold.

During his research, he came across a rare herb called Andrographis Paniculata—a plant with a long history of use in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Hanke discovered that at higher dosages, Paractin (the patented, standardized extract from Andrographis) actually helped reduce inflammation and pain—not just colds. That is because your immune system is not just about preventing colds or the flu, it also helps control inflammation signals sent throughout your body.  

Research shows that the Paractin in Hydraflexin works directly on the immune system and enables it to block certain inflammatory chemical signals—the very signals that cause arthritis pain.  The evidence is overwhelming. For instance:

*According to The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Paractin (the same amount in Hydraflexin) reduces the abundance of chemical cytokines that cause inflammation which leads to pain.

*Paractin stops (or dramatically reduces) two other significant sources of inflammation sent by your immune system—-COX-2 and Nuclear Factor kappa B.

*Paractin stimulates “PPAR-Gamma,” a little-known protein in your cells that works to slow down and smother inflammation.  But researchers were also shocked when they saw that increased PPAR-Gamma also reduced C-Reactive protein—a dangerous marker of inflammation and heart trouble—by up to 40%!

Chinese Patent Herbal Medicines

Traditional Chinese medicine has a log history of herbal remedies. The 400 most popular of these formulas have been prepackaged into “patent herbal medicines.” Two of them are especially good for arthritis.

Kang Gu Zeng Sheng Pian can be taken for a wide variety of joint and bone syndromes, such as: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatism and general joint and tendon pain. Another formula, Juan Bi Tang, is effective for arthralgia caused by cold and/or dampness. Symptoms can include pain in the neck, back, shoulders and arms, difficulty in movements, numbness in the hands and feet. It is especially good for treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis, bursitis, fibromyalgia and sciatica.

While these formulas are effective and safe, they require a licensed herbalist or acupuncturist to properly diagnose the condition and determine the quantity one should take over what period of time.

New Alternative Back Pain Treatments: Trail and Error

A large percentage of people are suffering from back pain. This is a serious problem because modern medical science has not been successful in finding consistent cures for this type of throbbing. This has caused many people to seek out new alternative back pain treatments on a regular basis in the hopes of finding the solution that will finally take their aches away once and for all. Unfortunately, the best method of finding the right cure really does seem to be the use of trial and error experimentation to find the combination of methods that work best for you.

The reason that there is no clear cut way to treat it is that there is no single reason that it occurs. It may be caused by anything from serious injury to bad posture. Nutritional considerations, ergonomics of the work and home environment and many other factors also have to be taken into consideration when trying to figure out what is causing the injury. As you learn more about what may be causing your own specific type of inflammation or ache, you can better choose the right treatments to get rid of the problem. People have been dealing with these issues for years, but thankfully modern medicine has developed alternatives to aid you.

Of course, you don’t want to be just testing out all everything you can think of or that you hear about without doing your research or considering the ramifications. Instead, you will want to research the different options that are available to you, consider the extent and type of soreness that you are having and make educated and informed decisions about how to proceed with trying out different kinds of remedies. You will also want to make sure that you are paying close attention to the effect of the process so that you can cease any one type that doesn’t seem appropriate to you once you have begun to test it out.

For example, let’s say that you have heard about two different kinds of new alternative back pain treatments – a unique type of chiropractic care on the one hand and the use of medical magnets on the other. You wouldn’t want to just randomly pick whether to try out a chiropractor or to start using medical magnets. Instead, you would want to research both types to learn as much about them as possible. Does one sound more appropriate to the type of ache that you are having than the other does? Once you are informed about the healing process you can make a decision about trying it out. You can then monitor the experience to determine whether or not it’s right for you. You may choose the chiropractic care only to find after starting it that it actually makes you uncomfortable. At that time, you may discontinue chiropractic care and try the use of medical magnets instead.

All of this trial and error testing for your back pain may seem like it’s going to give you a headache! However, you should know that being persistent in trying to seek out the best new alternative back pain treatments for your needs will ultimately end up paying off. Eliminating discomfort may not be a simple thing to do but it is definitely something that is possible. By trying out different things ranging from chiropractic care to medical magnets to chakra balancing to yoga, you can eventually find the treatment or combination of remedies that gets rid of it for good. Once it’s gone, you’ll absolutely feel like the work you had to go through to get there is one hundred percent worth the rewards.
