Your Natural Arthritis Pain Relief Remedies
By Aron Wallad
Sufferers all over the world are ever seeking some kind of pain relief. Who wants to live in pain? No one. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this problem contrary to what many pharmaceutical companies claim. Taking their medicine will not cure any type of arthritis. Speaking to your physician for the latest research about your specific type of pain relief would be helpful.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of affecting up to 20 million people in the United States alone. Osteoarthritis (OA) begins with the decomposition of cartilage in joints, resulting in joint pain, throbbing, and stiffness. An pain relief sure comes in handy for this type of the disease.

Another type of is Rheumatoid Arthritis. Extremely painful and inflammatory, it strikes the lining of the joints and actually attacks two million Americans in their twenties. Having an pain relief for this type would be extremely beneficial.

Psoriatic is not as well known as the preceding two, but actually eats away at the joints and can also manifest as psoriasis on the skin.

Alternative pain relief remedies are being sought out by patients. For a variety of reasons such as:

Their current medication is not doing the job any more. While it may have worked in the past this pain relief solution is just not affective now.

Moving away from chemical healing to some natural pain relief is much more appealing

The patient may not be able to afford their prescription medication anymore, so they are seeking a less costly pain relief alternative.

Some people are worried. The pain relief they are taking may be doing some damage to other areas of their bodies.

The mental game. Or rising above the pain
You must continually focus on what you can do, rather than what you cannot do. Devise strategies and set goals in order to continue living your life to its fullest potential. You must focus on remaining active and maintaining as much independence as possible.

Some useful solutions
By using fatty acids which

provide lubrication for the joints, the joints will not wear down as much as a result less inflammation and less pain. Some recommend oils are: - Borage Oil - Primrose Oil and - NKO Oil

Vitamin C, E and beta-carotenes are powerful antioxidants that help to neutralize free radicals. These oxygen-reactive free radical molecules are thought to contribute significantly to disease and tissue damage. It has been found that cells from damaged knee cartilage can release great amounts of free radicals. In fact, studies have shown that those who have a high Vitamin C intake have a two-thirds reduction in the risk of further damage to their knees. Well-known scientist Dr. Linus Pauling recommends 18 grams of V-C per day as an preventative measure.

Selenium deficiency can cause a particular type of called Kashin-Bek disease, but it is more common where the soil is deficient in selenium, though sufferers of RA have less in their blood than others. Fish, organ meats, whole grains, nuts and beans will provide selenium.

Zinc may help reduce pain, stiffness and swelling. Some trials showed this was true, though others gave conflicting results. Oysters, cheese and tofu are all good sources of zinc.

Acupuncture

Animal foods: avoid them. Arachidonic acid found in meat provokes joint inflammation.

Bee/snake venom: Little scientific backing, real chance for allergic reaction.

Chondroitin: helps draw fluid into cartilage, improving shock-absorbing ability.

Elimination diets/weight control: more weight equals more joint pressure. It is debatable if fasting reduces symptoms or not.

Fish oils: controls inflammation in the body. Examples of other oils also used for the same purpose: flax, borage, sesame, sunflower and pumpkin.

Food allergies: linked to many causes for arthritis. Common foods to look out for: wheat, corn, dairy, citrus, salt, caffeine, tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant and peppers. (Does not include black peppers).
