Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

I'm afraid I don't know of any herbs that can do this, other than willow bark and pills would be glucosamine chondroitin, however, drinking apple cider vinegar is VERY cheap and it helps to relieve the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism. You just need to drink it in 8 oz. of water every morning and evening.

Stay away from refined sugars and dairy and it should alleviate a lot of your pain. Also, ginger compresses work well. You can make one by purchasing a ginger root that would grate to about the size of a baseball.

Place the grated ginger in a square of cheesecloth and tie it with a string to keep the ginger from coming out. Bring to a boil, 4 cups of water. Squeeze the ginger root sachet that you've made into the water, (lots of ginger juice will come out), then add the sachet to the water. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Take a cloth the size of the area that you want to cover and dip in the water, (by the way you can reheat this and use it several times before throwing it out. It will continue to work well). Wring the cloth out, and place it on the area that you want to work on. When the cloth gets cool, dip it again and repeat the process. You should get some relief from this.

Best of luck to you and I hope you're feeling better soon!

Answer 4

two thoughts on this, i have actually used a combination of both..i don't have arthritis that i know of, but i do have joint pains, on an irregular basis, and this helps..
ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.

In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week out of the 200 people so treated practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
also
raw apple cider vinegar, upon arising, before lunch, and dinner take 6 oz distilled water with 1-2 tsp equally apple cider vinegar and honey, add vinegar to salad, take a good multivitamin, and 1-2 tsp cod liver oil daily..

good luck with this..

Answer 5

I am 52 yr old woman. I have arthritis in my wrist, back, neck and ankles. I use and swear by Food grade Diatomaceous Earth. I have no pain and feel like I did when I was twenty. It doesn't hurt to get out of bed. You start by taking a teaspoon in water daily and increase it up to 1 tablespoon. If you have a bad stomach you may not be able to take this as it is like taking a fine sand. It does not taste bad sorta like dirt. I swear by it. You can also try MSM 1,000 mg. daily it helps but does not rid you of all pain like the earth does. I buy my earth in 25 lb bags so I don't run out.

Answer 6

Hi! Ok, for the swelling use Chammomile essential oil...rub it on topically (like you would a cream)...it is a wonderful antiinflammatory, and will take care of the swelling quickly - some of the pain as well. I always use Feverfew, an herb you can get at the health food stores, for pain, especially arthritic pain or head pain. It is wonderful, and works within just a few minutes. If you are on blood thinners or have a blood disorder, or are pregnant/nursing, you should not take Feverfew but take White Willow Bark instead because of interactions. Also, stop taking Feverfew a week prior to any surgery.
Hope this helps. I am at [e-mail] if you have any questions.

Answer 7

Chiropractors and other physicians can use ultrasound to shrink swelling
Glucosimine, condroyton, sharks cartilage
Muscles - example headaches below.. Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
