I have heard of three good alternative remedies for arthritis, but can't say I've personally tried any of them. One is to rub odorless castor oil on the sore joints two or three times a day. Another is to mix 2 tsp of liquid pectin (Certo, Ball, Sure-Jell, etc) in 8 oz of grape juice two or three times a day. The third is to drink 4 oz of cherry juice (real juice that's 100% cherry juice, not cherry-flavored apple juice -- check labels carefully) twice a day. I've heard these all work, but not for everyone. One may work for one person but not another, who may find a different one works for her. Try them all. They're all inexpensive and easy to obtain.
As for the stress, that's harder. I personally have found relief from muscle stress (not mental stress, but muscles that tense at night) by putting a bar of soap (don't laugh too hard) on either side of my pillow under the sheets. The soap lasts a couple of months, then needs to be replaced. It can then go into the shower or by the sink. Using soap that's real soap (not a body wash bar) but is scented may help your mom relax. Reading something relaxing (I like to read my Bible, then switch to a good fiction book) helps me let go of the day's worries, too, before going to bed.
If you're Christian (of whatever flavor) praying for your mom would be the very best thing you could do for her.

I guess a good home remedy would be to eats loads of pineapple and use turmeric to season everything. However, it's a lot easier to buy a supplement with bromelain and turmeric in it. Boswellia is also very good for arthritis. There is a combination of these three called Turmeric Special Formula that you can get in health food stores. Also for stress, both chamomile and passionflower are both calming and anti-inflammatory.

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

1. Ginger Root. Peal off skin and slice up into a pot of tea. Ginger Root is a natural anti-inflamatory. Let the tea seep awhile.
2. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is good for depression, artherosclerosis, and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein — good cholesterol). It can also decrease risk of coronary heart disease. Be sure to take B3 with food, as it causes flushing if you don't.
3. Melatonin helps to relax and fall asleep, which can be very difficult to do when a person is in pain.
4. Most importantly of all, she needs to keep up-to-date with her treating physician, and discuss these alternative treatments before trying them — you wouldn't want counterproductive interaction with the other meds she may be taking.

Usually I just sleep it off. But, try drinking water, eating a very balanced meal (make sure if nothing else you have protein and sugar. Try to have everything though.), and taking a vitamin. Then, make sure your sinus' are clear. Usually putting your face over a pot of steaming water will do the trick (be smart about it. Don't get burned). And also, rub your temples.

Niacin also known as vitamin B3. Niacin may also help to prevent or treat a number of other disorders, from arthritis and depression to diabetes. Three forms of niacin supplements, nicotinic acid (nicotinate), niacinamide and inositol hexaniacinate.

believe it or not........exercise is great for both stress and arthritis. Even if it is just a stroll to get the joints moving and it would be great I bet to go for a walk with you or one of her friends.
