Arthritis Home Remedies

Arthritis can be an extremely painful and debilitating condition that is caused by destruction of cartridge around the joint, which results in the bones rubbing together with pain.

Fortunately, there are several arthritis home remedies that can help you deal with the pain.

The first Arthritis home remedy I will discuss is the spice ginger. Recent research reveals that gender influences the induction of numerous genes influencing the inflammatory response. Since 1985, there've been at least two studies promoting ginger as a remedy for arthritis.

The next arthritis remedy is the Indian spice turmeric. Turmeric contains curcumin, a chemical that is thought to give it its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics.

My third Arthritis home remedy is the chemicals glucosamine and condroitin. Although these two chemicals don't actually rebuild the cartilage, they are thought to help with pain levels. In one four year study, involving 1600 participants, it was found that 79% of the group taking glucosamine and condroitin experienced at least a 20% reduction in their pain levels.
