What are the Natural Remedies for Arthritis?

Anyone suffering from arthritis will tell you that they are in constant pain and feel too weak to perform most average everyday tasks, such as taking off the lid from a jar. Arthritis  in it’s multiple versions is truly a crippling disease which affects over 40 million Americans (that averages out to about 1 in every 5 adults) and tons more on a global scale. And, despite what was once thought, arthritis doesn’t only affect the elderly. Just about anyone, children and animals as well, can fall victim to arthritis at any time.

It is a widely known fact that there are no natural remedies for arthritis. It is a chronic and degenerative disease that is a long life struggle once it’s contracted. That is not a very pleasant thought.

Today’s medicine can only provide a partial treatment to arthritis and only manages the pain rather than treat the actual condition all together. Like I said, arthritis is a chronic and degenerative disease which does not have a cure at the present time.

Although, the drugs that you can find today are quite effective. They can help relieve the pain… although it comes at a cost. First of all the monetary cost can easily run you up in the hundreds of dollars range every month. Your insurance will probably cover that cost for you, but for how long? Secondly and more importantly, there is the potential price to pay in your health from a possible addiction and even side effects. Some of these side effects include severe toxicity of your liver, kidneys, and bone marrow. There have even been reports of arthritis treatments being linked to possible heart failure and that is very disturbing!

Due to this fact it’s not surprising to see that more people are searching for an alternative treatment to this condition. This is why more natural remedies for arthritis and the pain it causes have such a high value; anything which can manage your arthritis pain and help strengthen your health with little and sometimes no side effects is surely worth a shot.

Today, you can easily come across a number of readily available dietary supplements which have the power to relieve the pain for arthritis sufferers. Some of those supplements like Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate are well known and the scientific community has done some extensive research on them which has resulted in some good evidence of efficacy.

Recently another product called Rosehip (Rosa Canina), has been discovered to offer much in the relief of arthritis pain and it’s been backed by much scientific study as well. It is an all-natural pain treatment for arthritis as well as a good herbal alternative to Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfatethe which happen to contain animal and marine extracts.

Unfortunately, due to the vast amounts of money to be made in this market, there are tons of false claims out there about ineffective and fake products which are advertised as miracle medications for arthritis pain.

The big problem with this is that some people can’t differentiate from genuine and fake products. The best thing to do is to do some research on the product. You should not trust testimonials found on the sellers websites  because these companies will do anything to present their product in their favor. Of course you might be able to trust a company that is responsible for hundreds of testimonials for only one of their products instead of a handful, companies like Amazon, for example.

Anyone who is interested in trying out these natural remedies for their arthritis pain should do their own research on the validity of the many medical scientific studies that are reported to promote the many products out there specifically for their condition. Then see what conclusion you reach. The researchers have put lots of effort into their studies, not to mention that they’ve also put their reputations at risk.
