I found this in the facebook pages, of our sons Bowen therapy website, and thought it might be of help to people with Arthritis.
For Arthritis try the following;-
Mix together equal quantities by volume (ie. 1/2 cup) of the following... Epsom Salts, Bi Carb Soda & Gelatin. To help with circulation also add 1/2 quantity of above volume Powdered Ginger.
Take 1 heaped teaspoon every moring in 1/4 glass of water and add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (can be from squeeze bottle). Drink while its fizzing!
You should notice more improvement with it than arthritis
pills within a few days.
The Gelatin is beneficial for ligaments, tendons and cartilage. The Epsom salts is Magnesium Sulphate which is essential in the body for Calcium absorption and muscle relaxation.
The lemon juice turns alkaline in the system. The mix helps to alkalise the system and is about 8% Calcium.
Hope it will help someone.
More and more people are moving toward homeopathic treatments than relying on overpriced medications and surgeries – many of which individuals, especially those without insurance, cannot afford. Not only that, many people are becoming wary of putting so many chemicals in their bodies. It seems like everything we ingest nowadays is somehow engineered instead of natural. Perhaps returning to nature is a better alternative than the usual go-to treatments. We’ll discuss the use and effectiveness of seven natural remedies for rheumatoid arthritis. And we’ll also share what our research has found as far as success rates go.
1. Cinnamon
Proponents of cinnamon in alleviating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis contribute its healing powers to the anti-inflammatory qualities of cinnamon bark. In addition, cinnamon is noted to help with aches and pains. The problem? Cinnamon in large doses can be detrimental to your health. In addition, cinnamon is found to have potential harmful effects to pregnant women and may negatively react with blood thinning medications and those individuals susceptible to blood clotting.
The Verdict? Essentially, the major problem with cinnamon is the dosage. You’d need a high enough dose to counteract the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, but not so high that you harm your health. Results of our research show that there has been limited success in the use of cinnamon to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Getting the quantity right is just too cumbersome with this natural remedy.
2. Willow Bark
Willow bark, as the name quite literally says, is the bark off of willow trees. And this bark has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties and pain relief. In fact, it has very similar qualities to everyday aspirin. The downside? The active ingredient in willow bark, a chemical called salicin, can be fatal in large doses, as it shuts down the kidneys. Fun fact of the day: salicin overdose is what killed Beethoven.
The Verdict? Research is 50/50 with willow bark. While it has shown to help reduce fevers, muscle aches, and stiff joints, getting the dosage right is, like cinnamon, is pretty tricky.
3. Black Pepper
It’s making me sneeze just thinking about it. But, black pepper has long been known to aid in pain and swelling. You may have heard of capsaicin? Well, that’s the key ingredient in black pepper that’s thought to give rheumatoid arthritis relief. Capsaicin appears in many over the counter creams and lotions – most often associated with anti-inflammatory medications.
The Verdict? Our studies have shown some positive effects of black pepper in treating rheumatoid arthritis. Though, as with most creams and lotions, the relief is only temporary.
