Whether it’s cold or rainy weather, many people are suffering from aching joints. The most common ailment for joint pain is Arthritis or joint inflammation. There are two major forms of arthritis, Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Osteoarthritis afflicts the weight-bearing joints such as the hands, knees, hips, feet or spine, causing pain and stiffness. Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of disability in the U.S., and affects about 21 million adults, mostly women. This form of arthritis also causes cartilage in the joints to degenerate and does not migrate from one part of the body to the other.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is the most severe type of inflammatory joint disease and is created when the body’s immune system attacks the joints; most common in the wrists, hands, feet and causing pain in neck, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips and ankles. RA can, and often does, migrate to other joints and can cause loss of appetite, lack of energy, fever, anemia and tissue lumps under the skin. RA affects over 2 million people, mostly women over age 45. Modern medicine considers arthritis to be incurable, and thus, treat only the pain, which is a symptom and not the root cause. Many arthritic drugs have serious side-effects, so it is very important to become informed about the medicines you may be taking.

Studies show that a more natural approach to assisting in the healing of arthritic ailments can start with a vegetarian eating regimen, free of all animal products, especially diary. Eliminating the intake of alcohol, coffee, refined sugars and excess salt from the ingestion regimen can alleviate and possibly eradicate arthritis. Changing the eating regimen and using herbs for these conditions are much better for the body than using chemical pain relievers.
