Arthritis / Joint Pain / Stiffness advice

[Guest guest]

Hi friends,

 

Does anyone know of an effective blend of EOs that will help with the

symptoms of Arthritis / Joint Pain / Stiffness pains in the wrists and knee

joins?

 

I've been having joint pains in the wrist and knee as I'm working as a

programmer and faces the computer at least 12 hours a day... Hoping to

find an effective 'cure' to my pains...thanks!

Certainly, a few times a day, take some " coffee break " time to get up

and stretch ... that'll do some MAJOR good!

 

Aside from that what comes to my mind are soaking in a nice mineral salt

bath whenever possible (obviously not at work, but when you get home

*lol*), and didn't someone post here some time ago that they use Black

Pepper oil (Piper nigrum) in a blend for joint pain? And cayenne

(capsicum) ... ? Kathleen, was it you?

 

Now, I have to say this - Although it is commonly used in " muscle ache "

and " arthritis " blends I'd not use Wintergreen or Birch oils on a

regular basis, if at all even, as the main chemical constituent in

them, methyl salicylate, gets absorbed by the skin and can cause health

problems (its not nice to the liver). It is toxic dermally and also has

a very low Oral Lethal Dose (a child can die from ingesting only 8 ml of

it).

For arthritis/joint pain, I make me mother a bottle of Oil containing the

following: Black Pepper, Juniper oil, heli and rosemary. Works a treat and

if it's REALLY bad... She slaps a hot Woobey to get the heat in there fast.

(Woobeys: hot microwavable pillow pack,) alternating heat and cold helps

too.

 

And nope, t'wasn't me Chris (on the cayenne but yep on the black pepper)

 

Cheers!

I just thought I'd add that I find Roman Chamomile a great pain/inflammation

reliever for arthritis. Also, Sweet Marjoram. One that's meant to be the best

but I've not tried personally is Turmeric. I think you can also make a paste

with the ground spice. Very warming, I would imagine. Otherwise - taking a

stroll (even if only around the house!) every hour, gentle stretching (yoga?)

.... you must do something other than sit in the same position for 12 hours!

I don't know about working with EO's for joint pain, but being an arthritus

sufferer, my pain level in my " car wreck ripped out knee " took a severe turn

for the worse this past april. Since it's been 10 years since my accident,

what is now happening is that my joint is degrading and now I am entering into

" another phase " , albiet not a good one.

 

 

So, I am trying to lose weight, exercise in more gentle ways, like swimming,

which has helped my flexablity and with stretching. I have had some

accupunture too, which has helped a bit.

 

I really would recommend you looking into an oral herbal supplement designed

to help joint pain. It was recommended by Dr Weil in Prevention magazine.

It's called Zyflamend, and it's made by New Chapter. The company grows their

own herbs organically for this formula. Take it at least a for a couple of

months along with Glucosamine Chondrotian with MSM. Then see how you feel. If

you feel better, than keep taking it. This has helped me get off the daily

OTC naproxin - which I am concerned about taking too much of. Now I only take it

on really bad days. I still have pain and discomfort, but not as extreme.

I am doing better, and even if only a bit better, it's still better and I'm

grateful for it.

 

HTH,
