Natural Remedies for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Best Rheumatoid Arthritis Natural Treatments you can use.

White Willow

1. White Willow is the herb which created aspirin and other modern day pain relievers. This a natural pain reliever and an anti-inflammatory herb which can safely be used internally or externally without the common dangerous side effects of its synthetic counterparts.

White willow can be taken by mouth for pain as needed. It can also be mixed with aloe vera juice or mineral water and applied to the painful joints. Whether taken orally or apply it externally to a painful joint area, White Willow will help reduce inflammation and pain. Be sure to buy 100% white willow herb though, and not some synthetic medication which has a little white willow added to it.

Burdock

2. Burdock is an excellent herb to use for arthritis. It helps reduce the swelling of joints and knuckles, as well as breaking down calcification deposits. For best results, Burdock should be taken internally. It can also be applied externally to help reduce swelling.

Chaparral

3. Chaparral is an herb which has been used specifically for arthritis for many generations. It helps relieve pain, purify the blood, and helps tone the body by rebuilding new tissue.

Lobelia

4. Lobelia is an herb best known for its relaxing properties, but it helps with arthritis because it increases the flow of oxygenated blood through your system, which promotes healing. Lobelia can also help remove obstructions and congestion located throughout the body.

Valerian Root

5. Valerian Root is another herb which is quite useful for relieving pain. It also helps quiet and calm the nerves, plus it helps you to sleep at night with no narcotic effects.

Comfrey

6. Comfrey is possibly one of the best herbs to use for arthritis, because it can help relieve pain and start healing on contact. Rubbing comfrey salve onto the affected joints will help relieve the pain and inflammation, and as it is a cell regenerating herb, it will assist in helping them to heal over time.
