Arthritis Home Remedies
| Gently
stretch for strength and mobility - Yoga is a good exercise
for Arthritis sufferers. Yoga teaches movement with proper
joint alignment, which helps bring deformed joints back to
normal position as appropriate muscles are lengthened and
strengthened. |
| Stress
Management - It is a fact that if you are hurting and
you tense up that you hurt more so avoiding stress will help
in aggravating pain. Learn to relax. |
| Pace not
Race - People who suffer from some kind of arthritis or
joint pain tend to do all their duties on days they are feeling
at their best. All that does is make you tired and sore the
following day. Pace yourself and don't race to get your jobs
done on only days you feel fine. Do a little each day. |

Arthritis
Ointment - There are many ointments for arthritis. Deep
Heat is a good one. Arthritic ointment works well if applied
at night before going to bed. This relaxes your joints which
helps in giving you a better nights sleep. |
|
Water Aerobics
- Arthritis pain is significantly reduced in the
water, and you become much more flexible in water than you
are in air. The beginning exercise techniques are easy for
anyone to follow. They consist of waving, walking, and bending
motions performed in chest-deep water. The more advanced movements
look like aquatic dance steps designed to take advantage of
water's natural resistance and gentle buoyancy.

Use
Ice to Prevent pain - Ice packs or even ice cubes in a
plastic bag or frozen peas placed on the arthritic area will
help prevent pain. Apply for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove
for 10 to 15 minutes. This can be repeated for hours at a
time. |
|
Use Heat
to Reduce Pain - Use a heat pack to help reduce the arthritic
pain. When joints become hot, swollen, and tender, heat is
the best solution, applying cold could make joints very painful.

|
Get
off Addictive Medication - Sleeping pills, tranquilizers,
and narcotic painkillers can become part of life for a person
with arthritis. Although these drugs do work in helping to live
with arthritic pain, they create more problems than they solve.
Replacing these drugs with alternative forms of therapy will
be better for you in the long term. |
|
Fish -
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish has been around in the form
of cod-liver oil for years. 1 teaspoon per day of cod-liver
oil may help alleviate symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis by
providing the body with substantial amounts of vitamins D
and A. Vitamin D is important for bone growth, while vitamin
A may have anti-inflammatory effects. An alternative to cod-liver
oil is a low-fat diet that includes fish such as mackerel
or salmon, which contain omega-3's.

Massage
- Work the muscles that are attached to the tendons
leading to your painful joints. For example, if you have arthritis
in your hands, then work the forearms from the wrists to elbows,
using a compression technique. To do this, use either the heel
of your hand, your thumb, or your elbow to press down on the
muscle and hold it for several seconds, then release. For arthritis
in the ankle or foot, work the calf and front of the leg. |
|
Vitamin C
- Vitamin C is a good natural alternative for people suffering
with rheumatoid arthritis. The toxicity of vitamin C is virtually
zero, and if a person took about 500 milligrams spread throughout
the day, which is not excessive, that would get enough of
the vitamin through to do some good." Before trying vitamin
C therapy, get an okay from your doctor.

Foods
to Avoid - avoid foods from the nightshade family
and all milk products. The nightshade plant family consists
of white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, tobacco, and all peppers
except black pepper. Also cut back on oil-containing products
such as salad dressings, fried foods, and margarine's. These
foods contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which have
been proven to cause inflammation in those with rheumatoid arthritis. |

My
husband read this in a Chinese Remedy book after I've had severe
arthritis in my hands / joints. Remedy: Eat a minimum of
about 14 cherries each night before bed. I was anxious to get started
and of course it worked for me because I love cherries and ate a
lot of them (1/2 bag) each night before bed. Each morning I noticed
it lessening.

Remedy
Since August 06 I have been taking 1 TBSP Certo fruit crystals
and stirred it into 1/2 cup of grape juice each day. I missed one
day and noticed half way during the day that I had extreme pain
in my knee. It really works perfect for me, after seven days the
extreme pain had gone. I stopped taking arthritis pain killers,
ibruprofen etc because they were hurting my stomach. I hope this
remedy can help others. It was given to me by a 75 year old nurse,
Dr Gott's who told me to try it and promised that it would ease
the pain!
