5 Natural Solutions to STOP Arthritis Pain
A study just came out showing that arthritis pain is linked with mental distress.
And if you’ve dealt with the agonizing pain and stiffness of arthritis for any length of time, you know all too well the toll it takes on you both physically and mentally.
The study found that 32 percent of people with arthritis have a history of depression, and 19 percent report experiencing frequent mental distress.
So, it’s no wonder why people are so quick to reach for Big Pharma’s treatment options.
But the problem is that these drugs can come with a slew of side effects — including increased risk of gastrointestinal symptoms and heart problems.
That’s why I recommend trying natural treatments for your arthritis pain.
They often provide highly effective pain relief — without the drug side effects — something that could go a long way toward relieving both your physical and mental distress.
Here are my top five suggestions.
Ginger gets to the heart of arthritis by combatting inflammation at the cellular level.
Studies show that ginger reduces pain and stiffness in knee osteoarthritis patients by 40 percent.
Curcumin, which is a key compound in the spice turmeric, is a powerful anti-inflammatory that’s been shown to reduce pain and swelling.
Studies show that supplementing with turmeric produces long-term improvements in people with knee osteoarthritis.
To get the most benefit from turmeric, you should take it with black pepper because it helps the body absorb it better.
Black pepper also has its own anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a potent two-for-one.
The popular duo of glucosamine and chondroitin provide pain relief for arthritis sufferers because they help rebuild the worn-out cartilage in your joints.
Finally, collagen provides support for your connective tissue, and it helps support your bones and ligaments.
Studies have shown that hydrolyzed type 1 collagen protects against cartilage loss and helps reduce osteoarthritis pain.
