Natural approaches for arthritis

While there are different medical approaches to treating arthritis, many people opt for more natural ways to deal with the disease. It may be especially helpful to learn some of these remedies now, given the current public health crisis that has forced people to stay home. (h/t to SteadyHealth.com)

  1. Weight loss – Extra weight can strain your body in many ways. In terms of arthritis, extra weight can add stress, pain and pressure on the affected joints, particularly in the knees, hips and feet. Losing weight will help reduce pain and improve mobility, preventing extra damage to the joints. Focus on eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains; limit your consumption of high-fat and high-calorie foods; and watch your portions.
  2. Exercise – Regular movement such as exercise can help maintain flexibility and range of motion in the joints. Low-impact exercises like water aerobics or swimming are more suitable for people with arthritis, as these can help keep joints flexible without adding further stress.
  3. Hot and cold therapies – Hot and cold treatments can help ease and relieve pain, swelling and stiffness of joints. Hot treatments include long, warm showers (especially in the morning) to help ease joint stiffness. You can also use an electric blanket or a moist heating pad to help loosen joints. Cold treatments include applying a gel ice pack or frozen vegetables in a towel to the affected joint for quick relief.
  4. Meditation – Dealing with arthritis can be stressful. Meditation is a healing practice for reducing stress and inducing relaxation. There are meditation techniques that are particularly useful for reducing arthritis-related stress, which can help sufferers to better cope with pain.
  5. Acupuncture – If you want to relieve arthritis pain with acupuncture, it’s important to find a licensed and certified acupuncturist. Acupuncture needles are not placed exactly on the site of pain, but at pressure points such as legs, knees, arms or shoulders. Focusing on these points may reduce inflammation, increase endorphins and cause relaxation.
  6. Essential fatty acids – Omega-3 fatty acids are known to help reduce inflammation, which plays a significant role in arthritis. Consume omega-3-rich foods and take omega-3 supplements like fish oil to help ease joint pain and stiffness.
  7. Turmeric – Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory spice, thanks to its active compound, curcumin. A diet consisting of anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric can help reduce inflammation in the joints, which can ease pain and stiffness in the joints.
  8. Massage – Massages can help reduce joint pain and stiffness, as well as improve mobility. Find a therapist that has previously worked with patients with arthritis, especially if you want to request a personalized massage.
  9. Herbal supplements – Herbs like boswellia, devil’s claw, bromelain, ginkgo biloba, stinging nettle and thunder god vine all have potent anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve pain, swelling and stiffness from arthritis.

With stay-at-home orders in place nowadays, dealing with arthritis at home has never been easier with these remedies.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
