It really is no wonder that more and more arthritis sufferers are turning to natural arthritis pain relief treatments, and finding their own arthritis pain relief secret…!
There are many holistic remedies that offer an effective natural remedy for arthritis, but do take a look at your diet and lifestyle as well, and check to see if a herbal natural arthritis remedy could help you…
Holistic Natural Remedy for Arthritis
Choose one of these effective natural remedies for arthritis, which seems to suit your lifestyle and personality the best ….
All kinds of arthritis respond well to acupuncture. The World Health Organisation actually recognises the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating osteoarthritis.
It is best to go to a qualified acupuncture practitioner for the best results.
Sharp points, or needles, are carefully positioned, at certain points of the body (usually in the back, neck, abdomen, arms and legs).
This helps to release blocked energy and relieve symptoms.
Acupressure
Acupressure works along similar lines to acupuncture, but does not use needles. Instead, gentle pressure with the fingers is used, and sometimes a massaging motion.
You will be able to do this yourself, at home, daily, once a qualified practitioner has shown you the most effective points for your particular arthritic condition.
Using healing magnets, and particularly a is perhaps the best natural remedy for arthritis.
Studies have shown that a magnetic healing bracelet does have significant natural arthritis pain relief properties.
I don’t have arthritis, but I have found huge improvements in my own joint pain and tiredness from M.E. after I started wearing a magnetic healing bracelet.
My own father and uncle both wear a magnetic therapy bracelet to help their own arthritis, and have both seen much improvement in their symptoms.
Osteopathy Chirpractic Alexander Technique Hellerwork
These are all really good natural remedies for arthritis.
They work on the muscles and ligaments around the joint, and allow them to become more relaxed, but more supportive, supple and flexible.
This means a much greater range of mobility and movement in the joint.
Always make sure that you visit a qualified practitioner for any of these therapies.
Do not try them in areas of inflammation.
The Alexander Technique
This teaches correct posture.
Studies have proved the Alexander Technique to be a very effective natural remedy for arthritis – especially for the neck and back.
By aiming for a correct – natural – posture it removes unnatural stresses and strains from painful joints, and allows them to recuperate.
Hellerwork
Hellerwork is quite similar to ‘Rolfing’. It is a mixture of:
massage
body re-alignment
releasing muscle tension
psychological and emotional aspects
Massage, talking and alignment helps particular parts of your body and mind relax and release tension in the muscles.
Easing pain and tension in the surrounding muscles is thought to be of great benefit in improving arthritis joint pain.
Although it does not seem to actually get down to the painful joints themselves, it does work on the surrounding muscles which support the joints, so is an effective natural remedy for arthritis.
Some practitioners believe that conditions like arthritis have their basis in emotional problems, which get stored up and ’blocked’ in various parts of the body.
Personally, I can’t say if this is the case or not, but I do know that if you have any emotional issues hanging over you, it does make it much more likely that you will get ill, feel worse and have a harder time recovering!
In this respect I can definitely recommend Flower Remedies, for treating emotional issues, as a natural remedy for arthritis.
Health food stores usually have information on which Flower Remedies treat particular emotional conditions.
You can also consult a qualified practitioner who can help you to choose the best remedies.
Try thinking back to when your illness started, and the emotions you felt at the time, or think about how your arthritis makes you feel now.
Although relaxation remedies may not seem directly connected to your arthritic condition, and the aches and pains in your joints, relaxation can actually help a lot.
Being physically and mentally relaxed keeps your muscles relaxed, and does not allow any tensing of muscles to make your aching joints feel worse.
A state of relaxation within body and mind is necessary for effective healing - you want all your body’s energies to go into healing, not into stressing or worrying, being angry, bitter or anxious.
You may also find these relaxation remedies useful if you are having difficulty coping with the everyday strains that having arthritis places upon your life…
So, if you are feeling a little upset, anxious, worried or stressed, try using some of these therapies and ideas, to relax - your whole body will definitely feel the benefit.
Relaxing will allow other natural remedies for arthritis to kick in and do their work much more easily too.
If you find you get on with hypnotherapy you will probably get a good deal of benefit from these downloads. I have used the pain relief downloads from this company, and I have found them extremely effective at actually 'dialing down' my levels of pain, not to mention relaxing…!
If you haven't tried them before, these are well worth a try...
Do expect to listen to your session several times for the full benefit though…
