Home Remedies for Arthritis
Arthritis home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Arthritis Treatment using Potato Juice
The raw potato juice therapy is considered one of the most successful
biological treatments for rheumatic and arthritic conditions. It has
been used in folk medicine for centuries. The traditional method of
preparing potato juice is to cut a medium-sized potato into thin slices,
without peeling the skin, and place the slices overnight in a large
glass filled with cold water. The water should be drunk in the morning
on an empty stomach. Fresh juice can also be extracted from potatoes. A
medium-sized potato should be diluted with a cup of water and drunk
first thing in the morning.
Arthritis Treatment using Other Raw Juices
One cup of green juice, extracted from any green leafy vegetable, mixed
in equal proportions with carrot, celery, and red beet juices is good
for arthritis. The alkaline action of raw juices dissolves the
accumulation of deposits around the joints and in other tissues. A cup
of fresh pineapple juice is also valuable, as the enzyme bromelain in
fresh pineapple juice reduces swelling and inflammation in
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis Treatment using Sesame Seeds
A teaspoon of black sesame seeds, soaked in a quarter cup of water and
kept overnight, has been found to be effective in preventing frequent
joint pains. The water in which the seeds are soaked should also be
taken along with the seeds first thing in the morning.
Arthritis Treatment using Copper
Drinking water kept overnight in a copper container accumulates traces
of copper, which is said to strengthen the muscular system. A copper
ring or bracelet is worn for the same reason.
Arthritis Treatment using Calcium
Studies have shown that calcium can help arthritis. Several patients
have discovered that joint pains have either been relieved or have
disappeared entirely after taking calcium. This mineral should be taken
in the form of calcium lactate. Two teaspoons of calcium lactate, each
teaspoon providing 400 mg of absorbable calcium, may be taken three
times daily in water, before meals for at least four months.
Arthritis Ttreatment using Garlic
Garlic is another effective remedy for arthritis. It contains an
anti-inflammatory property which accounts for its effectiveness in the
treatment of this disease. Garlic may be taken raw or cooked according
to individual preference.
Arthritis Treatment using Bananas
Bananas, being a rich source of vitamin B6, have proved useful in the
treatment of arthritis. A diet of only bananas for three or four days is
advised in treating this condition. The patient may eat eight or nine
bananas daily during this period and nothing else.
Arthritis Treatment using Lime
Lime has also been found beneficial as a home remedy for arthritis. The
citric acid found in lime is a solvent of uric acid which is the primary
cause of some types of arthritis. The juice of one lime, diluted with
water, may be taken once a day, preferably first thing in the morning.
Arthritis Treatment using Alfalfa
A tea made from the herb alfalfa, especially from its seeds, has shown
beneficial results in the treatment of arthritis. One teaspoon of
alfalfa seeds may be added to one cup of water. Three to four cups of
this tea should be taken daily by arthritics for at least two weeks.
Arthritis Treatment using Green Gram Soup
Another home remedy found useful in relieving pains in the joints is the
use of green gram soup. This soup should be prepared by mixing a
tablespoon of green gram in a cup of water, with two crushed garlic
cloves. It should be taken twice a day.
Arthritis Treatment using Castor Oil
Treatment with castor oil has been found beneficial in arthritis. The
procedure, as prescribed by a Spanish doctor, is to boil two tablespoons
of castor oil over a stove burner. The oil should then be poured into a
glass of fresh orange juice and taken before breakfast daily till the
disease is cured. It was advised to patients to take it for three weeks,
wait for another three weeks and then repeat it again for another three
weeks. It is, however, essential that the patient must take an alkaline
diet while adopting this mode of treatment otherwise the value of the
treatment will be lost.
Arthritis Treatment using Coconut or Mustard Oil
Warm coconut oil or mustard oil, mixed with two or three pieces of
camphor should be massaged on stiff and aching joints. It will increase
blood supply, and reduce inflammation and stiffness with the gentle
warmth produced while massaging. Camphorated oil is an ancient
rubefacient used for the purpose.
