Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
Joint pain puts a damper on everything from the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you close them again at night.
On a “good day,” arthritis might have you limping along, feeling achy and grumpy. But on a “bad” one, it can literally keep you from doing nearly everything.
Instead of doing the things you love, you’re practically trapped at home in pain and feeling miserable.
Mainstream medicine has us resigned to the idea that this kind of joint pain is inevitable as we age. And that when THAT day arrives, risky pain medications are your best (and only) option.
But unless you want to spend half your monthly income on addictive prescription pills and battle their side effects, the mainstream approach isn’t the best.
Try these 7 all-NATURAL solutions to wipe out arthritis aches and pains instead.
Simply covering up the pain with a pill is a temporary fix. To support your joints as you age and reverse arthritis pain, you must target the ROOT cause.
And that’s precisely what these seven remedies do:
- Glucosamine is a natural compound found in cartilage, the tissue that cushions your joints, allowing them to move smoothly. Cartilage degenerates as we age. But glucosamine supplements slow that process down while acting as a natural anti-inflammatory and pain reliever at the same time. A typical dosage is around 1500 mg (milligrams) daily.
- Chondroitin is another building block of cartilage. Studies show chondroitin helps reduce joint pain and stiffness in people with osteoarthritis. Experts usually recommend taking 400 to 800 mg two to three times a day for the best results.
- SAMe or S-adenosyl-L-methionine is a natural amino acid often used to combat depression. But it turns out SAMe ALSO stimulates the production of cartilage. Studies suggest the amino acid can help folks with osteoarthritis move better while easing their pain. A typical dosage is 200 to 400 mg three times a day.
- Turmeric is a spice that contains a compound called curcumin. Curcumin has been used for hundreds of years to halt inflammation. And modern science backs up this benefit. Experts recommend 500 mg two to four times a day. Look for a curcumin supplement containing piperine, a compound found in black pepper that helps with absorption.
- Boswellia (or Indian frankincense) is an herb that’s long been used to naturally reduce inflammation (and recent research confirms those anti-inflammatory benefits!). In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Boswellia improved physical function and reduced pain and stiffness in folks with knee osteoarthritis. Dosage recommendations vary from 100 mg daily up to 333 mg three times a day.
- Fish oil is rich in inflammation-fighting docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Studies show the supplement can ease joint pain. Experts recommend a daily dose of between 1,000 to 3,000 mg.
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an amino acid that supports healthy joints and bones. It’s rich in organic sulfur and naturally reduces inflammation, fights the breakdown of cartilage, and eases joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Dosages can vary widely from 1,200 to 6,000 mg daily.
P.S. Before you reach for another pain pill, you need to know the TRUTH about some of the most popular over-the-counter pain relievers on the market. It turns out they could be DESTROYING your joints. I’ve got the whole shocking story right here.
