Hi Suzzy,

 

I agree. If the arthritis is wide spread, involving many joints, then it is better to see a doctor first because some of the arthritic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis might be the cause. These diseases should be caught early in order to avoid severe joint deterioration. Like I said, you just need to know when to say when.

Thank you for your input. You can also try ginger and turmeric which are also known to provide anti-inflammatory support. Some products contain both in an anti-inflammatory supplements which may also contain rosemary, green tea, and holy basil. Given time herbs can help relieve arthritis pain.
