Natural arthritis pain relief therapies are sought by millions of persons who suffer from the occasional to chronic nagging joint ache usually associated with aging. It is not uncommon to find those in their late thirties and forties to have occasional joint ache, especially when the weather changes, but most mild arthritis begins in the late forties. Arthritis may be more prone to be in those who played heavily in sports when they were younger, but no one is exempt from Mr. Arthur Itis. The natural pain relief industry booms with hundreds of millions of dollars in business conducted each year; the problem is knowing which ones really work. Let's begin with one that doesn't, WD-40. That's right, the stuff we use for lubricating doors and hinges has actually been ingested with the thought that if the lubricant unstuck a squeaky office chair then the stuff surely ought to lubricate a knee joint. Uhhhh, that's a big don't do that.
The problem is that there are all kinds of promises and homespun cures offered on the Internet, brought to us by grandma and her cabinet full of secret remedies that she only gave to her favorite family members and friends. There is also the idea that the medical community doesn't want naturopathic remedies to work because the natural stuff would cut down on its profit margin. Natural arthritis pain relief are buzzwords that can play on the hearts of those who have found not other respite from chronic joint pain caused by inflammation. The only way a person can really dispel the myths from the truth of natural arthritis pain relief is to do one's own research and investigation, remembering that not everything one reads on the Internet is true. Since natural ache and soreness relief products are often unregulated, any kind of claim can be made so buyer beware.
Acupuncture is one of the procedures that seems to have some promise for mild ache and soreness relief. The suggested treatment is a daily needle under the kneecap. The Chinese have used acupuncture for thousands of years and a number of members of the medical community have begun to look at this natural arthritis pain relief therapy as at least a viable if not legitimate way to get drug free relief. There will always be skepticism regarding this kind of therapy, but when every conventional medical procedure and therapy fails, acupuncture might be one of the more legitimate natural arthritis pain relief therapies. This therapy is often looked upon as an even more viable therapy for fibromyalgia. It is not a cure, but a response to pain.
Many over the counter or natural remedies for chronic point inflammation include glucosamine and chondroitin. These supplements, taken in pill form, are the two molecules that are actually found in the joint cartilage. The idea behind taking them is that if there are more of these substances in the system, there is more of a chance for joints to heal themselves. There is no medical research that shows that these two supplements actually increase the repair ability of the body. However, when compared to the test group taking a placebo, those taking these two supplements did appear to have more pain relief. There is enough anecdotal evidence to at least suggest the supplements are of some value in natural arthritis pain relief.
One of the biggest common ingredients in organic soreness and ache relief therapies is MSM, which stands for methylsulfonylmethane that is a common remedy for arthritis in horses. This substance is sold daily in pet stores across the country and is sold as a supplement for drug-free arthritis soreness relief in health food stores. This substance is natural, found in such foods as seafood, cow's milk, meat and fruits and vegetables. Since one of its ingredients, sulfur, is thought to strengthen collagen, so it is used as an additional ingredient with glucosamine and chondroitin, or it may be available on its own. The proponents of MSM say the substance is a food, not a medicine or drug. Claims of its ache and soreness relieving ability for joint inflammation are anecdotal. Chronic aches and pains can put a person into a dark place, but the Christian has a place to go: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46; 1)
Hyaluronic acid is a component of synovial fluid and is found in the vitreous humor of the human eye, the lubricating fluid of joints and in subcutaneous tissue where it functions as a cementing agent. There have been few if any studies that reveal substantial proof that this supplement has any natural arthritis pain relief effectiveness. However, if a person has osteoarthritis, a less severe form of joint inflammation, there may be some benefit to having hyaluronic acid injected into the inflamed knee area as opposed to taking the substance in pill form. Not everyone however responds to this method of treatment.
The bottom line of all this discussion on natural arthritis pain relief is this: the more desperate the person is to find a pain remedy, the more likely that person will be susceptible to wildly controversial claims about a natural pain relief treatment. The claims of a miracle cure need to be taken with at least some form of skepticism. But if the product has been shown to have no adverse side effects, there is nothing lost by trying it for a limited amount of time. The best advice is to talk to one's own physician, knowing that there probably will be a modicum of skepticism. If a person can find an MD who is also naturopathic in approach, that might be a good resource person to consult.
