Natural Remedy For Arthritis

Arthritis can be an extremely painful and debilitating disease. There are more than one hundred different types of arthritis that affect more than 46 million people in the United States alone. It can affect people of any age, including children. There are several treatment options including the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen that can have serious side affects. Unfortunately, these medications don't always provide complete relief from the pain and inflammation. Many people have turned to more natural remedies for arthritis.

Natural remedies for arthritis generally have no side effects, no toxic chemicals, they are less expensive, and they don't require frequent trips to the physician or drugstore. Listed below are several natural remedies that many people swear by:

• Drink one cup of raw vegetable juice. Combine one cup of juice extracted from any green leafy vegetable with equal parts raw carrot juice, raw celery juice, and raw beet juice. This is said to help eliminate any deposits that congregate around the joints. Raw potato juice is also very effective.

• Drink a glass of coconut or pineapple juice. Both are said to be excellent for reducing the pain and swelling that is associate with arthritis.
  
  
• Eat one clove of fresh or cooked garlic each day. Garlic is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is therefore particularly beneficial as a natural remedy for arthritis.
  
  
• Mix warm coconut oil or mustard oil with two to three pieces of camphor. Apply directly to the affected joints and massage until it is absorbed.
  
  
• Take a nice hot bath. Add two or three cups of Epsom salts to the bath water. Soak in the bathtub for a half an hour or so. The magnesium in the Epsom salt helps relax and soothe stiff, painful joints when the body absorbs it.
  
  
• Take 2000mg of calcium every day. Many people say that this helps alleviate arthritic pain.
  
  
• Mix a tablespoon of pectin (Certo works well) into a small glass of grape or cranberry juice. Drink two or three times a day.
