Natural Cures For Rheumatoid Arthritis


Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto-immune disease estimated to affect approximately 1-2% of people worldwide. It is believed that the body is attacking the synovial fluid, a fluid that surrounds and cushions your joints. This results in painful inflammations and joint stiffness.

Many people have sought treatment from doctors and while there is no sure-fire cure, many people have has success with natural cures for rheumatoid arthritis. These cures provide a safe and effective to reduce inflammation naturally, without the side effects of drugs or the painful stomach ulcers from continually taking Advil. As with any treatment for a medical condition, and especially with rheumatoid arthritis, it's important to keep track of when you start a treatment, how you feel during the treatment and if there are any side effects associated with the treatment. It may be helpful to keep a food journal just to remind yourself when you started which treatment.

Some of these natural treatments people have tried include taking natural food supplements (such as vitamins and minerals) as well as altering diet to try to modify their bodies intakes of certain foods (such as omega 6 fatty acids or dairy) as well as increase their intake of other foods (such as omega 3 fatty acids, or glucosamine chondroitin). It's important to realize that it takes time for a chemical to build up in the blood stream and joints and that it may take a while before you start to see any effects. This can often lead to the belief that these cures for arthritis are old-wives tales. Typically, you'll need to wait at least 12 weeks before you'll see any results.

With a little bit of patience and perseverance you'll be able to find the natural cure for rheumatoid arthritis that works for you.
