Hi, Again, Elaine I live in England and the stuff that seems to work amazingly well is a combination of GLUCOSAMINE and CHONDROITIN. (They work even better when taken together.) Good luck! |

try a teaspoonful of epsom salts in a full glass of warm water, taken daily each morning. My old mum could still touch her toes, bending at the waist, in her 80`s. She swore by it. |

Some 5 years ago, my dog Daisy (a Yorkshire Terrier) was crippled with arthritis. Really crippled. The vet prescribed a combination of GLUCOSAMINE and CHONDROITIN which CURED her within (I guess) about 6 months. I have given her a daily dose ever since. She'll be 14 next Saturday and is still as lively as anything. Some 18 months ago, I asked my doctor if there was anything she could prescribed for a wonky knee that I've had since playing football at school. Generally, it only acted up when in the cold weather. After examining my knee, she diagnosed arthritis and suggested the same stuff. I have taken 3 tablets every day since. My knee was soon sorted and I had absolutely no problems at all during the recent winter. So, there you are ... Two Happy Users! |

Hi, What type of arthritis do you have? For gout, a common form of arthritis caused by an excessive concentration of uric acid in body fluids, the herbs to try are bilberry, bromelain, celery seed, devil's claw, iporuru, quercetin or sarsaparilla. For osteoarthritis, caused by wear and tear on joints, injury or an inherited defect in the protein that forms cartilage, the herbs to try are alfalfa, ashwaganda, boswellia, cat's claw, cayenne, chaparral, osha, copaiba, devil's claw, feverfew, ginger, hawthorn, turmeric, willow bark, or yucca. As for rheumatoid arthritis, a joint inflammation that cuases pain, stiffness, swelling, deformity, and eventually might limit the joint's range of motion, try boswellia, bromelain and turmeric (to be taken together), bupleurum, cat's claw, cayenne, feverfew, or ginger. The dosage is not given here, because herbs are not just totally harmless because they are herbs. If you intend to try out any of these, please double check the dosage and that they don't clash with any medication you are taking or other existing conditions you might have. Hope this helps. :) |

Elaine, Before an accurate answer can be given, the type of arthritis (osteo, rhumatoid, gout) must be known, along with other possible health problems. Be very careful trying any new treatments with out consulting a physician. Certain botanical products can alter the way the immune syatem works or kidney function and this can actually worsen the problem. Dr. T |
