Natural Arthritis Pain Relief
Monday, April 7th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
Natural arthritis pain relief is becoming more popular for several reasons. First, consumers are becoming more savvy and realize that chemical based drugs are not the only solution for pain management.
In addition, since arthritis sufferers deal with pain on a daily basis, they do not want to be consuming pharmaceuticals medications everyday. They understand that long term use of any medication can damage organs such as the liver.
Therefore, natural arthritis pain relief remedies are gaining in popularity. A word of caution, if you think you have arthritis, or if you have already been diagnosed with arthritis and are just looking for additional pain management options, be sure to always consult a doctor. Self diagnosis and self treatment is never recommended.
Types of Natural Arthritis Pain Relief
Some of the more common natural treatments are as follows:
- Dietary supplements (ask your doctor concerning the best brands)
- Acupuncture (visit an acupuncturist for a consultation)
- Biofeedback (Ask a homeopath about this one)
- Therapeutic massage (visit a local massage therapist and ask about treatments)
- Hypnosis (Request a consultation with a local therapist)
Chiropractic therapy is a method that many have found helpful at relieving joint pain. The benefit of this approach is its availability. You can always find a good chiropractor around, but acupuncturists and hypnosis specialists are harder to come by.
A Word About Vitamins
Natural arthritis pain relief using dietary supplements has proven effective for some. I have a suggestion if you are willing to go a step further. Nutrients from fresh vegetables are far superior to synthetic vitamins in tablet form.
I would highly suggest you start drinking homemade green lemonade. What is that? You ask. Green lemonade is a delicious way to consume mass amounts of vitamin packed vegetables. Here’s the recipe:
- 1 pound of cabbage or leafy green vegetable of your choice
- 2 apples
- 1 lemon
Put these ingredients through a vegetable juicer and enjoy. Don’t give up if you don’t like the taste. I can’t get enough of this stuff when I make it with romaine lettuce, however, I can’t stand it when it is made with spinach.
Drink a glass of this everyday as part of your natural arthritis pain relief regimen.
Before trying any of these suggestions on your own, be sure to first consult your doctor. You should not act on any medical advice unless it comes from your doctor. If you feel your doctor is traditional and doesn’t respect natural arthritis pain relief methods, then ask him or her that you are still interested in this and do they recommend another doctor they could talk to.
Often it is not that doctors are closed to these progressive ideas, but rather they do not know much about them. They have received traditional training and find it hard enough to keep up with the changes in traditional medicine, let alone natural remedies.
