Written by Priya Shah


Continued from page 1

Glucosamine - Recent studies have shown thatrepparttar cartilage-building substance called glucosamine is effective forrepparttar 113852 long-term relief of osteoarthritis pain. In some people, glucosamine appears to even slowrepparttar 113853 deterioration of joints over time and reinforce joint cartilage. Whether or not it can actually reverserepparttar 113854 disease is still unclear. Glutathione

Glutathione - Glutathione is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties and can be safely boosted by consuming its precursors available inrepparttar 113855 supplements, N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) or undenatured whey protein. You can find out more about it here http://www.1whey2health.com

Magnets - Although magnets that are worn as jewelry or placed on bed linens have been reported by some to be effective pain relievers, results are still preliminary; doctors claim that these magnets are not strong enough.

MSM - Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane is an organic sulfur supplement that appears to slow downrepparttar 113856 degeneration but is not yet proven and approved. It is used inrepparttar 113857 reduction of inflammation and can be used in conjunction with glucosamine, in some instances.

Nettle leaf - Nettles can reduce a patient's need for NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) by up to 70 percent.

Vitamin B - It is an effective pain reliever. It works best onrepparttar 113858 knee and can help stop degeneration that is caused by free-radical molecules, not only inrepparttar 113859 joints but in other areas ofrepparttar 113860 body as well.

Vitamin E - This antioxidant is used primarily for osteoarthritis.

Ginger - Ginger is an antioxidant that acts as an inflammatory with no major side effects.

These are merely a few examples of what an arthritis sufferer can use when seeking pain relief from natural remedies. Due torepparttar 113861 lack of scientific study and testing on many of these alternate treatments, there is no proof of their effectiveness.

Nothing can cure osteoarthritis, but nutritional supplements,repparttar 113862 application of heat or cold to affected joints, exercise, and weight loss can improverepparttar 113863 function and flexibility of your joints, and perhaps even slowrepparttar 113864 progress ofrepparttar 113865 disease.

Shave with a sharp blade. Use gentle swipes instead of heavy pressure and go withrepparttar 113856 flow or "grain." A single-edged blade is better than a twin-blade razor.

To combat internal stressors and prevent acne problems, get plenty of rest and sleep. Try to maintain regular hours. Keep a check list of "Things that Calm You" handy for stressful times, like reading a book, resting, listening to music, taking a walk, going out for an ice cream cone, etc.
