14 Powerful Herbs For Your Chronic Arthritis Pain

Arthritis is painful..

C) Turmeric

Turmeric is a great anti inflammatory herb. It contains two compounds – curcumin and curcuminoids that help lower inflammations in arthritis.

Although it is used commonly in Indian cooking, but should be consumed in the form of a supplement to enjoy its maximum benefits. Take 1 – 2 turmeric capsules with food and water twice a day, or as directed by your health care practitioner. It effectively helps mitigate pain in arthritis.

Its anti inflammatory nature will keep you protected against autoimmune arthritis. You can drink green tea 2-3 times a day preferably after day time meals. You may add a few drops of lemon juice to it to enhance its anti oxidant properties.

If you are taking any medicines, make sure you consult your doctor before consuming green tea as it may react with other medications.

F) Flaxseed

Flaxseed can be consumed raw or in the form of oil and capsules. It helps in lubricating the joints that have gone stiff due to arthritis and helps relieve stiffness and joint pain.

G) Night Jasmine

Night jasmine is also popularly known as 'Parijat' or 'Harshingar' tree in India. It is anti inflammatory, anti spasmodic and analgesic in nature. The decoction of its leaves help relieve symptoms of arthritis. You may take it once a day for arthritic relief.

I) Chirayita

Chirayita is a herb found commonly on the slopes of Himalayas. It is abundant in swerchirin, swertianin and swertanone compounds that are anti inflammatory in nature. It thereby helps reduce symptoms of arthritis. For specific dosage, consult your ayurvedic doctor.

Does changing weather bring you an asthma attack?

An asthmatic attack happens when a triggering factor causes your bronchial tubes that carry oxygen to your lungs, to become narrowed down. This causes inflammation in your air passage making breathing difficult. This passage often fills up with mucus also. Inhaling and exhaling becomes very hard.

What are the common symptoms of asthma?
