Effective All Natural Arthritis Pain Reliever Options You May Choose From

By Nancy Baker


You can always pop an anti inflammatory drug in your mouth each time your joint is achy. However, you should be ready to face some really unfavorable side effects as well as health risks. If you're not willing to experience dizziness, ringing in the ears, stomach pain, diarrhea and many others, skip taking a drug. What you need to do is choose from the many different natural arthritis pain reliever options. Some of the best can be found below, so keep on reading.

Rely on a heating pad. Reach for a cotton sock and fill it with uncooked rice. Tie the open end and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes. After checking that it's not burning hot, carefully place on your aching joint. Do this several times a day until you attain much needed relief.

Grab some ice. Doctors say that you should refrain from using a hot pack if there's inflammation because things will surely worsen. Instead, go for a cold compress. Experts agree that placing some ice cubes on your skin directly is not a good idea. Wrap them in a small towel before placing them on the affected joint for much needed relief.

Try a strong infusion of chamomile. In a cup of hot water, dunk 2 chamomile tea bags. Allow them to steep there for several minutes until lukewarm. Grab a large cotton pad and soak it in the tea. Place and leave on the painful and swollen joint until completely cool. Repeat if necessary.

Spread a small amount of turmeric paste. In a small bowl, put a tablespoon of turmeric powder. Place a drop of water at a time while stirring. The moment that the mixture already has a creamy consistency, quit adding water. Apply the resulting paste on the aching joint and let it remain there to dry. There's no need to wash it off afterwards. Apply this paste out of turmeric several times a day for best results.

Brew and drink ginger tea. Another effective remedy for arthritis is ginger because it's actually a relative to turmeric. In a cup of boiling water, allow to steep a teaspoon of fresh ginger root that's grated. Strain after several minutes. If you are not happy with the strong taste, add a teaspoon of lemon juice or honey. Consume a cup of ginger tea in the morning as well as before bedtime for faster results.

Consume oily types of fish. There are healthy fats present in oily fish and they are called omega 3 fatty acids. They are good for anyone who is afflicted with arthritis as they have anti inflammatory properties. On a regular basis, include oily fish in your diet such as salmon, herring, trout, sardines, halibut and tuna.

Take fish oil supplements daily. If it's not possible for you to add lots of oily fish to your diet, do not worry. That's because you may simply take 1 fish oil capsule daily. However, it's a good idea for you to first consult your doctor most especially if you are prescribed with blood thinning drugs as fish oil can cause your blood to thin further. This is not a good thing because you may bleed excessively should you end up with a wound or undergo surgery.
