natural help for arthritis

You could buy one of the at home spa treatment parafin waxes. what you do is dip your hands or feet in the wax and it does relive arthritis pain in the hands and feet. I know that this will not ease the pain in your other joints but it is a little help.

you can try avocado, they help too.. if you can get your hands on cordyceps hot water extracts it can help too. you can get them cheap on mushroomharvest.com that's the cheapest i've seen hot water extracts. also might want to try sound therapy, you'll need 30hz. my boyfriend got himself an ultrasound thing when he hurt his shoulders (thanks to the retarded doctor that doesn't know how to treat patients). another thing is magnets, if you can get your hands on magnets. magnetic therapy is great for joints and muscles

I have arthritis and am unable to take anti-inflamatory medicine due to having only one kidney. My Dr. recommends walking (excercise) daily and recently they have come out with a study that Fish oil pills help arthritis by lubricating joints. Not sure how much study has been done but it sure wouldn't hurt so I'm giving it a try! Good Luck!
