Arthritis Natural Remedies 

The components that make up a joint are the mating bones covered by cartilage and the synovial membrane that enclosed the mating bones and cartilage.  The cartilage has no nerves or blood vessels and is feed by the synovial fluid and the attached bone.

Conventional treatment involves the use of NSAID’s which do not stop or cure arthritis but do reduce arthritic pain and inflammation.   Unfortunately, use of NSAID’s allows continual degradation of the cartilage.  Side effect of NSAID’s has limited its long term use.

Inflammation is the main symptom and activator of joint degradation.  It is also central to the majority of other disease that we all are subjected to as we age – arthrosclerosis, heart valve dysfunction, cancer, Alzheimer’s and congestive heart failure to name a few.
