Arthritis sufferers are constantly searching for ways to relieve the pain, stiffness and soreness they live with as a result of the degeneration of joint tissue. There are a lot of natural remedies that have been proven to help with the problems associated with the disease.
First, let's look at antioxidants. Antioxidants work to slow or even prevent the degeneration. Here is a list of antioxidants and the dosage recommended. These particular antioxidants are recommended by Mark Stengler, N.D, author of "The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies"
o Lipoic acid - 100 milligrams
o Vitamin C - 1,000 to 3,000 milligrams
o Vitamin E - 400 to 800 IU
o Selenium - 200 micrograms
o Grape seed extract (or Phycnogenol) - 50 to 150 milligrams
The anti-inflammatory properties of vitamin C are effective for different types of arthritis. It works best when used as part of a formula for arthritis nutrition or with antioxidants.
Vitamin E's anti-inflammatory properties are particularly effective for rheumatoid arthritis.
Have you ever heard of Apis? It comes from the honeybee, the bee, plus the stinger! Believe it or not, apis is used to by those arthritis sufferers who have burning and stinging pain. Just like the stinger causes burning, stinging, swelling and itching, apis also relieves those symptoms. So if you have swollen joints that burn or sting and a cold compress makes you feel better, than apis will most likely help.
These are just a few of the natural remedies for arthritis pain and suffering. There are many more to look into. This article is for informational purposes only and not meant to replace a physicians advice.
