Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Natural Arthritis ReliefLike our moods, our bodies can respond to changes in the weather. If you or a loved one suffers from seasonal arthritis, consider arnica (Arnica montana). This daisy-like mountain flower can help relieve the pain and symptoms associated with seasonal arthritis, as well as bruises, sprains, soreness and swelling/muscle spasms from sports activity, and general muscle and joint pain. Available in tincture, homeopathic ointment, cream, salve and pills, arnica should only be used topically (non-homeopathic arnica is toxic if it gets inside the body and should not be applied in any form on broken skin or on an open wound). Look for pure arnica extract, or topical applications. For arthritis you may want to make an arnica compress: mix one tablespoon of arnica tincture in one pint of purified water. Dip a gauze pad in the mixture, then put it on the arthritic joint. What's your view about this tip's subject? Share your thoughts in the DrWeil.com Community.
