Arthritis is a long-term disease that needs a long-term solution. Natural arthritis remedies are ideal for long-term use: there are no side effects as is the case with many prescription drugs and some natural remedies are very affordable and can be incorporated in your diet.

The Goal of Natural Arthritis Remedies

There are no known cures for Arthritis. As a result both prescription and natural arthritis remedies treat the symptoms of arthritis, not the actual disease. The two major symptoms of arthritis are pain and inflammation.

In many cases the painful areas around the joints are red or swollen due to inflammation. Inflammation is an essential step in the healing process, but prolonged inflammation results in chronic pain.

The goal of any arthritis treatment should be to both relieve pain and inflammation.

With prescription drugs this is done by taking anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers.

Natural arthritis remedies need the same approach: take care of the pain ASAP and relieve the inflammation. By relieving the inflammation the pain will stay away longer, and will be less intense when it returns.

We will also take a look at some natural remedies that have antioxidant properties, in order to enhance the healing process.

The following sections will take a look at natural natural pain killers, natural anti-inflammatories  and natural anti-oxidants.

Natural Arthritis Pain Remedies

When you are in pain, there is only one thing that matters: getting rid of the pain – fast.

The following herbs have pain relieving properties that have been proven for thousands of years.

Devil’s Claw

Devil’s Claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) is a South African plant used worldwide as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory. The analgesic properties can be compared in strength to cortisone or phenylbutazone, which are both prescription medications used in the treatment of rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Devil’s claw does not have the side effects that come with prescription pain killers.

Willow Bark Extract

Hyppocrates, the famous Greek physician, prescribed willow bark and willow leaves to relieve pain more than 2200 years ago. Willow Bark Extract contains salicylil acid, which is nearly as potent as aspirin. However, the compound salicin from willow bark does not cause stomach upset or stomach bleeding as aspirin can with long-term use. This natural arthritis pain remedy is often labeled as ‘natural aspirin’, the active ingredient in Aspirin is in fact derived from Willow Bark Extract.

Natural Anti-Inflammatory Arthritis Remedies

Inflammation goes hand-in-hand with arthritis and is in large part the cause of the pain that comes with arthritis. In order to fight the symptoms of arthritis effectively, you have to fight the inflammation.

Both Willow Bark Extract and Devil’s Claw also have anti-inflammatory properties, which makes them prime natural arthritis remedies. Other herbs that have anti-inflammatory properties are:

Boswellia

Boswellia is from the Boswellia Serrata tree, found primarily in India. Boswellic acids are effective anti- inflammatory and anti-arthritic agents for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, soft tissue rheumatism and lower back pain.

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO)

Oenothera Biennis Oil or Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) contains two types of Omega 6 fatty acids: Linolenic Acid (LA) and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). These fatty acids are essential to increase production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins that reduce pain and inflammation. EPO is used to treat rheumatism and to reduce inflammation.

MSM

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) nourishes tissue and removes pain and inflammation causing toxins. It repairs damaged cartilage, muscle, tendons and joints, and helps regenerate healthy new tissue. MSM is widely used as a natural arthritis remedy, especially for osteoarthritis.

TPR 20 contains Boswellia, EOP, MSM and 7 other anti-inflammatory herbs.

Natural Antioxidant Arthritis Remedies

Antioxidants help maintain the health of your cells by preventing cell damage by free radicals. Healthy cells promote faster healing and better health in general. The remedies in this section are potent antioxidants, many antioxidants occur in foods you might already eat regularly.

Green Tea Extract

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract is one of the most powerful antioxidant compounds. It is a potent  free radical scavenger that blocks inflammation-causing cytokines. It contains natural antioxidant compounds known as polyphenols that helps prevent and treat rheumatoid arthritis.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a super-antioxidant. ALA protects brain and nerve tissue from free radical damage. It also increases the efficacy of other antioxidants like Vitamin C and glutathione by recycling those antioxidants after they have been used. ALA can be found in green leafy vegetables.

Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit)

Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Extract is an excellent source of vitamin C, it also contains lycopene.
Lycopene is the same potent antioxidant that occurs in green tea.

Citrus Bioflavonoid

Citrus Bioflavonoid occurs in citrus fruits like lemons, oranges and grapefruits and encompasses a large group of nutrients with antioxidant activity. It enhances the action of Vitamin C, helps strengthen the circulatory system, works as an antioxidant and has anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.

Antioxidants are essential natural arthritis remedies: they help the body heal itself faster, which reduces inflammation faster. As a result antioxidants help in dealing with pain on the longer-term.
