Arthritis Home Remedies

For my sisters, both of whom were diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis....this is for you....my 'arthritis home remedies'.

As many people know, rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disorder.  Why the body attacks itself is not known, but my intent is to get the body to STOP attacking itself.  The 'traditional' treatment for RA and other auto-immune disorders is to cover the pain and slow down the disease.  That seems well and good.  However, STOPPING the disease seems best.

Here are some pro-active, at-home things you can do to alleviate the signs and symptoms of many arthritic conditions.

• Minimize the use of nightshade plants which include tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers and potatoes.
• Minimize the use of rhubarb, cranberry, plum, chard, spinach and beet greens.  These foods contain oxalic acid, which can be an irritant to those with arthritic conditions.
• Eliminate dairy products.  They are often the cause, not the cure, for calcic disorders.  Research shows that many people on a relatively healthy diet found that they could not be free of arthritic pain until they stopped eating dairy.
• ADD Barley and Wheat-grass to your diet.  Due to their anti-inflammatory and detoxification properties they have been shown to speed up the recovery of arthritic conditions.
• ADD foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.  Clinical trials have found that patients with rheumatoid arthritis were able to either stop or cut the anti-inflammatory medicine in half once Omega 3's were added to the diet.

The first step, however, is to identify your specific inflammatory biochemical markers.  When you know what is causing the inflammation in your body, you can make specific changes to correct the disorder.
