Herbal Remedy for Arthritis
Herbal Remedies have been the treatment of choice for arthritis for
centuries. Below are listed some of the most effective herbs and supplements for
arthritis.
Boswellia
Boswellia has been known for centuries as a natural anti-inflammatory. It
has been proven that boswellic acids contained within the herb can block the
formation of leukotrienes, the immune cells responsible for inflammation, while
also promoting the formation of free radicals. With regular use, blood supply to
the joints is also maintained, keeping soft tissue nourished and viable.
Devils Claw
Harpagophytum Procumbens (Devil's Claw): Found only in Africa. Devil's Claw
has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It is used globally for osteo-arthritis,
fibrositis, rheumatism, small joint disease and lower backache. Because of its
strong anti-inflammatory properties, Devil's Claw is not recommended for people
with stomach ulcers or heart conditions, unless medically supervised.
Glucosamine SulphateGlucosamine
is manufactured by the body and is found in higher
concentrations in the joints and connective tissues,
where it is used to repair cartilage and maintain
joint comfort and mobility. Glucosamine is quite often
used on it's own but is more effective when used in conjunction with other
ingredients.
Other lesser known herbal remdies which you can try...
AlfalfaAlfalfa can be used either as a
powder or as a tea. Alfalfa can also be sprouted and
eaten with a salad although the tea is the preferred
source of the herb. It's best prepared by placing one
ounce of alfalfa in a pot, adding one quart of water and
boiling for thirty minutes and should be strained and
consumed over the day.
The treatment needs to be
continued for duration of three weeks and then a break
for seven to ten days is taken before resuming treatment
again for optimum results.
Dong Quai (Dang Gui)
Also called Angelica, this herb has
been used in Europe for centuries as a herbal remedy for
arthritis. The western variety is known to have twelve
anti inflammatory constituents (which decrease the
symptoms of pain and swelling of the joints), ten
antispasmodics (muscle relaxants) and five anodyne
constituents (pain relieving)
This is best taken by placing one
tablespoon of the roots of any of the species in a pot
and adding of one pint of water which is then brought to
the boil and then covered and boiled for two minutes.
The pot is removed from the flame and left to stand till
it reaches room temperature and then strained and drunk.
Do this two or three times a day for
a duration of three weeks. This is followed by a break
of ten days before the treatment can be resumed again.
Black Cohosh
Black Cohosh is an American Indian treatment for
arthritis. There are five species being used globally. The constituents are –
anti-inflammatory, antispasmodics and aspirin like substances which makes it an
excellent herbal remedy for arthritis.
This can be prepared by simmering one teaspoon of black
cohosh root in one cup of boiling water for duration of twenty minutes. The tea
is then strained and taken in two divided doses during the day. The regime is
continued for duration of three weeks before taking a break of ten days in
between.
Celery
Celery as a natural remedy for arthritis has proved
effective and originated with the European immigrants in North America. The
different parts of the celery plant contain well over twenty-five
anti-inflammatory constituents. A cup of celery contains well over three hundred
and forty milligrams of potassium, which makes it particularly effective
considering that Potassium deficiency leads to aggravation of symptoms of
arthritis.
The preparation is simple with one
teaspoon of celery seeds being placed in a cup. The cup
is filled with boiling water and allowed to stand for
fifteen minutes. This is strained and consumed three
times a day during an acute arthritic attack for best
results. Alternatively it can be eaten fresh.
Natural remedies are safe and effective but usually work better if the
ingredients are combined. This is because the ingredients work synergistically.
