I forgot another weird tip. Try vibrating your face and neck. Wherever it feels good, but especially the sinuses. Try to do it for 10 minutes even if you need breaks in between. It helps with draining sinuses, but it seems to do even more than that. It brings blood flow to the areas you’re vibrating which can help with various problems too.

Have any of you found something that really helps with arthritus ?
Many online recommend turmeric, ginger, black pepper, clove, cinnamon, oregano, etc…
I have tried it (in tea form) for weeks… and cant tell it does anything for me.
A couple of folks here in another post said that tart cherry helps. I have not tried that yet… I did plant a montmorency cherry this spring and it has grown very nicely.
May try a tart cherry supplement soon.
Thanks

That’s easy. Arnica does the job. Amazon.com : Arnica Flowers Dried | 6oz | salves ointment | Heterotheca inuloides | The Bloomin Herb Shoppe | Bulk : Health & Household. I use this one: Arnica nutritional supplement | eBay It works within a week. Also if you let go of all wheat products, you will notice most symptoms go away.

Cured an autoimmune disease that my Doctors told me I would always have.
Check out the AIP … autoimmune paleo diet… for a full list of what anyone experiencing serious health issues should consider eliminating from their diet as a test (elimination diet).

Americans are totally brainwashed about food especially. It drives me nuts! Hearing my mom would rather take medicines instead of trying to change her diet sent my brain spiraling because I can’t wrap my head around it. And learning that skim milk has for a long time been considered pig food and used to FATTEN pigs! There’s so much here that’s messed up! People come and move here from other countries and they wind up sick because of you don’t read the ingredients you don’t realize the food here has all kinds of stuff added. I tried to find a plain cultured buttermilk and couldn’t. It all had corn starch and carageenan. My mom sent Cool whip. No big deal it’s just whip cream right? WRONG! Not even close. And if a company changes ingredients there is no rule that they have to change the product name. We don’t know what is in our meat. From what it’s fed to what it’s doctored with to make it more profitable. Even milk isn’t what it once was. Pasteurization is no big deal, but homogenized milk is not chemically the same as milk!
I’m going to stop ranting. This is something that keeps making me increasingly mad.

I once asked a doctor if changing my diet to carnivore and eliminating all trigger foods would prevent me from being on meds he was going to prescribe me for life he said yes. I then asked why he didn’t suggest that. He said no one sticks to it. Was dirty carnivore for 5 months this year. I still had different preserves. Felt so good and lost 20lbs. Pregnant now, so I’m semi off the wagon, but during my 3rd trimester I plan to really clean up my diet and go low carb, so I can keep at it without messing up my milk supply (tried last time to eat meat and potatoes and sweet potatoes and my supply dropped as though I had no carbs. Don’t want to risk that again). It’s nuts that doctors push surgery and pills and don’t even mention diet. My life would have been so different if even one brought it up and I didn’t have to blindly stumble in the dark until I started finding answers. I could have literally died so many times as a child and it could have been prevented by a limited diet!!!
As for arthritis, Arnica all the way! Topical is amazing and doesn’t even have to be put exactly at the site, but can be near it.

The other one I suggest you try is a joint supplement package that has worked really well for me.

Wow, its nice to find a soulmate at least on that account. That your answer enlightened me my business problem : I cannot find real ND, Naturopath or aka Alternative medicine practitioner willing to accept really mother nature remedies into their practice healing arsenal. A door to their mind reminds me a concreted wall.
They all want “to prescribe” purified synthetic vitamins and supplements in form of capsules, tablets and pills completely disregarding human body digestive system functionality.
That is what happened to our pancreatic when we consume too much sugar - a diabetes coming. Why ? Because pancreatic does not need to “process” food to manufacture sugar, it merely stops working because its level is already high in a blood. So no insulin production. You can call it an atrophy.
Absolutely the same result is gonna be expected if our digestive system stops digesting raw food to absorb macro and microelements.
I wonder why simple to understand concept stays hidden from a vast majority of Americans?
American dietitians and nutritionists don’t want to learn about Manuka honey, bee propolis, shilajit or Siberian cedar sap oleoresin. It seems they work together with Big Pharma promoting their pills everywhere to everyone.

Because doctors are brainwashed in school and they are salesmen to big pharma and hospitals and we trust doctors, so the majority consumes what the doctor prescribes. 
for accidents or emergency surgeries, most doctors are good, but for regular checkups you always have to ask, do the benefits outweigh the risks? I do it and 95% of the time they don’t for me.

Unbelievable… I though I’m only one who got it. In fact, I see at least another person thinks in the same exact direction. So, it seems my supposition was right : American health care system is indeed a “milking farm” enterprise where folk is a cow and big pharma is a farmer. A “farmer” feeds and takes care about a “cow” for one and only reason - to milk it. If American nation becomes healthy, its gonna ruin the entire industry… I’m shocked to say it loudly. I wonder why it stays cleared for a double digits number of people. They literally keep us “at barn” forcing to consume only a hey they want us to consume, they don’t want us to go to a cage free pasture.

Interesting to see an herbalism topic on here, a fruit forum. But of course there is overlap.
For one, fruit plants—including the fruit themselves—can be healing, and are part of pharmacopoeia around the world.
I personally harvest my mulberry leaves for their medicinal benefits. I’m planning to dig up blackberry root.
I also like to plant medicinal herbs near the drip lines where my trees go. They bring benefits to the tree as well (for ex, attracting pollinators).
Curious to see how this topic develops, thanks for starting it

This my is favorite herb for arthritis. Or back pain. I finally found an appropriate thread where I won’t be immediately flag bombed.

A lot of health problems we suffer, are related to something at the emotional level, some kind of worry, stress or trauma.
I found this about back pain:
Back pain can be caused by various pathologies and one that is not well known is the influence of emotions. Stress, a low emotional state, lack of support, fears… can cause discomfort that turns into chronic back pain. The body and mind are so linked that our negative emotions can lead to unpleasant physical pain.
It is believed that 90% of the population suffers or will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. The back is made up of countless muscles, but when we talk about real back pain, we usually refer to that associated with the spine.
Today we are going to learn about the connections that exist between emotions and back pain or the mechanisms that amplify it. It is an exercise of opening the mind and understanding paths that we sometimes do not imagine. In no case can what we are going to explain replace a medical or physiotherapeutic treatment, but perhaps it can help some to understand the connection between the emotions they have and the pain that does not let them live completely normally.
The spine is a structure of 33 vertebrae, distributed in the following regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral. Emotionally speaking, the back represents our support system. It is the gravitational center of our body and organism, and being the epicenter of the body is also closely linked to being the center through which other mechanisms of various organs and body systems pass. Back problems usually mean that we do not feel supported. Dr. Milton Erickson was known for the quote: “If you do not pay attention… you will pay with pain.”
What message is your body trying to give you? What emotions do you need to change to decrease or eliminate back pain? Unwanted feelings such as frustration, resentment and stress that stem from the above are often a result. These feelings and emotions can make back pain worse and we will try to clarify what they are and where they occur.
Upper Back Pain
The upper back is all about the feeling of lack of emotional support; Feeling like important people in your life don’t understand or support you. It could be that you feel rejected or are holding back love from someone. Upper back pain could also mean that you feel like you’re carrying someone around on your back.
By shifting the thinking that we are responsible for other people’s happiness we can help alleviate upper back and neck pain. Do things for others from the heart, not from a place of feeling like you have to or they won’t love or respect you. Gaining self-love will not only increase your happiness but will give you the best first support, that of your own inner self.
Middle Back Pain
Emotionally speaking, middle back pain comes from feeling guilty about things in the past. Maybe you’re afraid to revisit the past? Maybe you’re hiding what’s left behind? Do you feel stabbed in the back? Do you find yourself wanting to scream, “Get out of there!!”?
To move freely into the future, you need to release anger and guilt from the past and embrace your present and future with love in your heart.
Lower Back Pain
With today’s tough financial times, are your accounts in a mess? Are you overly worried? Lack of money, fear of not having enough, or fear of losing material possessions can be the cause of lower back pain. The amount of money you have has nothing to do with it. It’s the fear of lack of financial support, the fear of survival, that amplifies the pain. It can also be associated with stress at work and an unsatisfying home life, as well as having buried emotions that once made us vibrate.
Eliminating the guilt that paralyzes, erasing the anger of the past, and transforming fear into personal power will help you gain control, well-being, and find peace of mind, something that can win you a lot in life.
In most cases, although the pain manifests itself in a physical way, the root of the problem is predominantly emotional. Anyone who is experiencing this type of pain has to listen to their body and then have an introspective moment. What could be causing this pain? All this basic information will be a good help in treating us, already in the hands of physiotherapy professionals and doctors. At Fisioterapia Padilla we will study your case to find the best solution.
We have a treatment for each case. #preventandcure
If you are interested in the subject, we leave you this link to a conference by Jorge Sánchez de la Morena, president of Aptn Cofenat in Andalusia, on back pain from an emotional perspective.

Mine was a fractured vertebrae in the lower back. Hit by a metro bus on the freeway from behind. Crazy rain caused us both to hydroplane at the bottom of a mile long hill in Bellevue Wa. The back bed of my truck tacoed over the front and the drive line complete shot out thru the engine and radiator.

Fixed your post. MEDICINE works, you can grow or forage it yourself, it works, is healthy, minimal side effects, and therefore illegal.
