Anyone? And how can you preserve them? Someone told me St. Johns Wort. But aren't there more?
ARTHRITIS herbs?
I clicked on that, and nothing came up.
hrmmm...
it works for me
but, here's the relavent info from that page
" Herbs should be bitter, pungent and toxin clearing such as dandelion, burdock, yellow dock and red clover. Formulating a tonic of these herbs is an excellent way to take them every day. Below are herbs listed by action to assist you in selecting herbs best for your situation.
Alteratives - Improves and alters tissue condition. Should be in any formula you put together. Bogbean, burdock, dandelion, yellow dock, red clover and chapparel.
Analgesic - General pain relievers. Clove valerian, willow bark and Dianthus barbatus.
Anodyn - Stronger pain relievers. Valerian, kava, scullcap and wild lettuce.
Anti-inflammatory - Clears inflammation. Aloe, marshmallow, slippery elm, prickly ash, devil's claw, fang-chi (Sinomenium acutum,), guggal, Croton lechleri, Ficus elastica, Conyza canadensis and Dianthus barbatus
Anti-rheumatic - Black cohosh, boneset, motherwort.
Rubefacients - Clears deep congestion. Nettles, pepper (black), cayenne and mustard."
Hmmm - now it works - maybe they were working on the site and it was down, when I tried earlier. Will check it out. Thanks!
maybe I'm just TCM biased but I'd have to push towards watching the diet moreso than looking for an herbal cure right off the bat.
Cayenne (and many other hot peppers) inflames many joints...
certain people have allergies (diary comes to mind) that causes painful stiffness in the joints.
best of luck,
Drew
Drew, a friend of mine is trying to make a "lotion" that helps arthritis. I am trying to gather information on herbs for him.
