ARTHRITIS - Home Remedy

Dear Friends,

Arthritis, whether it is osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout, have the common symptoms of inflammation of one or more joints. This is accompanied by pain, swelling and sometimes joint deformity. Traditionally, with herbal medicine, anti-inflammatory herbs are recommended. And a naturopath might prescribe vitamins like vitamins and some minerals.

But it is said that you some very effective anti-inflammatory agents in your own kitchen. Some of them, like ginger and olive oil, can easily be integrated into your daily diet. Cinnamon is not commonly used as a supplement elsewhere, but in India it has a rich traditional use and may be available as part of an Ayurvedic supplement.

Ginger

One of the active constituents in ginger is a phenolic compound known as gingerols. These have been found to have a strong anti-inflammatory effect and also have found that swelling in the knees was also reduced.

Cinnamon

This rather delicious spice has a number of health benefits. Specific to inflammation and arthritis, cinnamon can help inhibit the release of inflammatory fatty acids.

Yellow and Orange Fruits and Vegetables

Some of the carotenoids in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables help reduce inflammation. Carotenoids are what gives these vegetables and fruit their color.

Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil acts similar to the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen, though it doesn't have the immediate pain relieving effects that ibuprofen does. But a compund found in extra virgin olive oil, called oleocanthal is described as a natural anti-inflammatory compound that is potentially as strong as ibuprofen. It is suggested that taken over a long term, it will have the same potential benefits that long term use of ibuprofen does. Olive oil also has a host of other benefits, including a heart protective effect.
