Arthritis

Conventional medicine regards arthritis as an incurable ailment. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints and cartilage, and can be present in any part of the body.

Osteoarthritis occurs with age when the cartilage in the joints starts to break down. It happens most often in areas that have been subjected to repetitive movements and activities that place undue stress on specific joints, but also tends to form in areas that have been injured earlier in life. The most common symptoms are pain and stiffness.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects people of all ages, and is thought to be an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own bone and cartilage. The primary symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are fatigue, low grade fevers, and pain and swelling of the joints, ultimately resulting in swollen, tender joints that become deformed. Many people with rheumatoid arthritis develop depression due to painful limitations.

In spite of the fact that modern medicine believes arthritis to be incurable, and utilizes treatments that only masks the symptoms and do nothing for the arthritis, natural remedies and home cures have proven extremely effective in treating arthritis for many years.

Home Remedies for Arthritis:

Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine Chondroitin:

1500 milligrams of glucosamine sulfate, and 1200 milligrams of glucosamine chondroitin a day has proven to be natural cures for arthritis, by actually restoring the cartilage to the bone.

Shea Extract

Shea extract may help arthritis. A study found that a compound from the seed of the African Shea Tree, called Vitellaria paradoxa decreased inflammation and collagen destruction.

Anti-Inflammatory Herbs:

Herbs like yucca, devils claw, turmeric, sea cucumber, and alfalfa, used by Native American healers for many years, still prove to be great home remedies to relieve the symptoms of arthritis.

Diet, Exercise and Common Sense Natural Remedies for Arthritis:

Moderate, low joint impact exercise, lots of water, restricting sugar and carbonated beverages, and plenty of rest are natural ways to control the pain of arthritis.

Other alternative home cures and natural remedies include magnet therapy, which is reported to aid in circulation and oxygenation, to promote healing, as well as interrupting the pain signal to the brain. Detoxification is reported to be a major factor in the field of home remedies for arthritis. 

One way of detoxification is through a controlled fast, including water, juice, fruit, and rice, to rid your body of toxins that have damaged your body. It is thought that detoxification prior to beginning any home cure or natural remedy will increase the chances of success in ridding your body of arthritis.
