5 Powerful Home Remedies for Arthritis Pain Relief

Studies showed that most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, more commonly known as NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can actually worsen the pain that they are supposed to cure. Moreover, the consumption of NSAIDs tends to reduce the impact of the natural healing process within the body by weakening the immunity, and even more shockingly, it actually increases the damage experienced by joint tissue as it completely destroys the digestive tracts, leading to symptoms of perforation or even bleeding.
Statistics revealed more than 50 million Americans are diagnosed with arthritis, and they are forced to deal with pain and stiffness on a daily basis. Here are 5 amazingly convenient and simple natural remedies to get rid of the awful pain and stiffness that is weakening your joints.
Home Remedies for Arthritis Pain Relief
Below are 5 home remedies for arthritis pain relief:
1. Turmeric
If you can’t seem to cure away the pain with all the pain killers stocked in your medicine cabinet, it’s time to enter the kitchen and fix yourself a spicy turmeric-rich curry. For centuries, turmeric, a traditional Indian spice, aids in relieving the symptoms of arthritis, primarily joint stiffness, functional limitations, and the severity of pain. Moreover, it is an extremely delicious spice that will add taste to your steaks, soups and stews. (HEALTH BENEFITS OF TUMERIC OR CURCUMIN)
2. Ginger
For centuries, ginger has been highly regarded for its pain-relieving benefits, making it one of the vital remedies of ancient medicinal practices. Modern science reveals that ginger contains a powerful active ingredient, gingerol, which provides instant relief to ease out the tension from troubled joints and relieve the pain that accompanies it. Moreover, research highlights that gingerol has the very same anti-inflammatory profile as that of ibuprofen and other NSAIDs that prevent the actions of enzymes responsible for generating pain.
You can chew some freshly shaven ginger, sprinkle it over your casseroles, chop some and brew some tea, or bottle it up and freeze it for regular consumption. A soothing cup of ginger tea is the ideal way to relieve the pain, along with the stress that accompanies. All you need to do is shave off some slices and throw them in boiling water, allowing the contents to steep for at least 15 minutes before you pour out the tea in a cup.

3. Tart Cherries
Cherries, when consumed regularly, can exhibit the same benefits that patients tend to experience from most common NSAIDs. Basically, these red delights aid in relieving pain by preventing the actions of the COX enzymes that initiate the formation of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory compounds.
Moreover, cherries are loaded with protective flavonoids and antioxidants, which give them their deep red colour, along with a powerful profile that fights against chronic pains and other symptoms that weaken your joints. For effective results, be sure to eat at least 20 tart cherries a day, or you can even chug down 32 ounces of cherry juice, which boosts a much stronger pain-fighting profile than six tablets of neuropathic pain medications.
The mighty anti-inflammatory profile of ginger has proven beneficial in reducing the painful symptoms of patients suffering with tendonitis, arthritis and bursitis, and it can also aid in providing relief from motion sickness, bad breath, gas, nausea and several kinds of allergies.
