Natural Remedy for Arthritis

Natural Remedies for Arthritis. Try some natural aid with out the serious side effects.

A friend of mine at the raw juice bar to the stars, told me "Granny, did you know shellfish like shrimp and even chicken leaves deposits in your bones?"

I told him,"No! I did not but please tell me more."

The acid from chicken, shell fish is toxic to your body and can not leave and it deposits in your bones and that is arthritis. "What can I do now I asked?"
Once it is build up the damage is done but here are a couple of things to ease the pain.

Glucosamine helps to reduce symptoms of pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints. Glucosamine is naturally synthesized in our body and present in our connective tissues such as the cartilage in our knees. As we age, we lose a percentage of this substance in our body, which leads to the thinning of cartilage, and might progress to osteoarthritis. Glucosamine cannot regenerate cartilage, but can prevent further loss and stop the progression of arthritis.

Chondroitin is a building block of the connective tissue in our body. Chondroitin stimulates the cartilage cells, and therefore works well with glucosamine to improve regeneration and recovery of the tissues.It is ideal to take chondroitin together with glucosamine. By themselves they are not effective. You will see results in  8-12 weeks.
The recommended dose is 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate a day and 800-1,500 mg of chondroitin sulfate. If you are allergic to sulfate, use hydrochloride version.

Cinamon: Sprinkle a pinch in your foods, teas, fruit, cereal, juice, milk sub beverages.

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane )is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, fish, and grains. It is marketed as a dietary supplement for pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. Recommended dose is 1,000 to 4,000 mg daily.

Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil) has anti inflammatory properties. As inflammation always accompanies joint pain, omega 3 helps to reduce the discomfort of arthritis and relieve pain. Omega 3 is found in fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Fish oil supplements are a good way to get the health benefits of omega 3. Recommended dose is 2-3 grams a day or one tablespoon of liquid Omega 3.

Shea nut oil has natural plant components that are anti inflammatory. A recent study found that taking shea nut oil decreases significantly the inflammation and cartilage degeneration. Take as directed in the label.
