Relieve arthritis and osteoarthritis with herbal medicine :

 

The main difference between arthritis and osteoarthritis is the nature of the pain.

 

best herbs for arthritis and osteoarthritis



What is arthritis?

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. as such, it can cause pain even at rest. It is inflammatory in type, affects the synovial membrane, and can also affect other organs. It is pain even at rest that may decrease with activity.

 


Arthritis being a "crystal" disease we will specifically choose certain emunctories to evacuate these.

The kidneys: increase the water intake, plants with diuretic action (piloselle, orthosiphon, couch grass, lime sapwood, nettle, meadowsweet ...)

The skin: activate the sweat glands: hot bath, sauna ...

The lungs: physical exercises in the open air, full breathing, ...

 

What is osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis, on the other hand, can cause pain when moving. It is therefore more of a mechanical disease. It is due to an alteration of the cartilage which will gradually wear out and disappear, leaving

the bones in contact with each other without protection or buffer zone.

Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory and oxidative disease that strikes the balance in the making of cartilage. We are talking about cervical osteoarthritis, back arthritis, lumbar osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis, shoulders, hands, feet ...

 

Osteoarthritis comes after arthritis: a reduction in mobility of the joint sets in, due to the destruction of cartilage and modification of the bone. The ground is also fouled by molecules that have passed the intestinal barrier of the small intestine and irritate the body.

 

Symptoms can appear from the age of 40 and often after 65. It is therefore useful to understand what can intensify inflammatory processes and

destroyers of cartilage, in order to slow down the degradation and to reach an older age without infirmity, because there are certain modifiable factors on which we can act:

 

 

 1- A very ancient Chinese herb : "TwHF".

The name of this plant is complicated: Triptergium wilfordii Hook F.

 

For simplicity, doctors call it "TwHF".

 

It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 400 years to treat pain, swelling and inflammation.

 

It is a very poisonous plant, so much so that, in folk medicine, its name is "Walk seven steps and die".

 

It is MORE EFFECTIVE for rheumatoid arthritis pain than the most common rheumatoid arthritis drug, methotrexate.

 

A study on this subject was published in April 2014 in the medical journal British American Journal. After 24 weeks of treatment, the situation improved in 55% of the patients taking TwHF, compared with 45.6% of the patients taking methotrexate. Note, however, that those who took both were 77% to notice an improvement in pain.

 

Your doctor can help you take this herb without exposing you to any danger.

 

2- Tiger balm :

 

Tiger Balm is a cream that the Chinese apply to the skin to relieve muscle and skeletal pain.

 

It is used against joint pain .

 

Many people imagine that red tiger balm contains chili (because of its red color), but no.

It contains essential oils of mint, clove, cinnamon, camphor and cajuput oil, all diluted in paraffin.

Tiger balm can be used perfectly against joint pain.

 

3- Harpagophytum or "devil's claw" :

 

It is a plant with powerful anti-inflammatory properties since it reduces the level of cytokines (pro-inflammatory substances whose main cytokines involved in osteoarthritis are interleukin-1 and TNF-alpha).

It also decreases the pain. In addition, it inhibits enzymes that "digest" the cartilage. It is therefore a very central weapon in the anti-osteoarthritis strategy to improve mobility and relieve pain. You have to take the plant for at least two months to see any benefits.

 

“Similarly, a 2-month study in 42 individuals with chronic osteoarthritis found that supplementing daily with devil’s claw in combination with turmeric and bromelain, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory effects as well, reduced pain by an average 46%” .

 

4- Nettle leaves :

 

They contain anti-inflammatory compounds which also inhibit interleukins. Nettle often helps reduce medication doses. A very recent French study demonstrated the benefits of a nettle extract, associated with fish oils and vitamin E on the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee and on the need for anti-inflammatory drugs. . Nettle can be useful for reducing the doses of conventional drugs to the extent that you want.

5- Ginger tea:

It is one of the best natural anti-inflammatory drugs capable of dramatically reducing joint pain including pain and inflammation caused by arthritis. So we consume it without restraint!

 

Boil a liter of water then add thin slices of ginger when it comes to the boil. Let boil for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Filter and drink up to 4 cups a day.

 

There are no contraindications for pregnant women and children.

 

6- Turmeric (  curcumin  ) : 

This spice is very popular for enhancing the taste of our dishes, is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, very useful in case of joint pain. It acts in particular on stiffness and functional discomfort.

 

Each day you can consume 4 pinches of turmeric to integrate into your dishes. Or even mix a spoonful of turmeric with honey. You can also take it in capsule form.

“Turmeric only contains about 2 to 6 percent curcumin, so you’re not getting much [of the anti-inflammatory effect],” 500 mg of high-quality curcumin twice a day for both OA and RA .

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before use in pregnant women and children.

People need to be reminded that if they are on blood thinners to stay away from turmeric.

Against the destruction of cartilage:

Blackcurrant increases cartilage tissue, horsetail participates in collagen synthesis through its silica, the aerial part of nettle is anti-arthritis, diuretic, anti-inflammatory and mineral-modulating. Horsetail and nettle will protect chondrocytes, cartilage cells.

 

Bamboo extract also contains silica, a constituent of tissues

conjunctives. Silica contributes to strong bones, resistance of connective tissues and joint comfort by supporting flexibility and mobility.

 

Willow, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and chondroprotector: provides nutrients to the cartilage and improves joint synovial fluid.

 

Here are some ways to treat your osteoarthritis naturally.

Consulting a naturopath will direct you to natural health solutions adapted to your case, according to your history with an “anti-arthritis” food rebalancing tailored to your tastes and your lifestyle.

Your naturopath will also choose other techniques depending on your caseadapted like oligotherapy, aromatherapy, nutritherapy, tools

biochemicals like other chondroprotectors necessary to provide

constituents of cartilage and limit erosion ...

You will understand that becoming an actor in your health with the help of your naturopath will always be beneficial. You still have to accept to change your diet because some people still do not believe that the quality of their food can have an impact on their well-being and their health.
