Follow on Google News | Boswellia and Black Cohosh Reduce Arthritic InflammationBoswellia and black cohosh are herbs with anti-inflammatory properties that could help in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
By: Dr.Victor Marchione Black cohosh is a member of the buttercup family found in the eastern areas of North America. Black cohosh contains glycosides, sugar compounds, and isoferulic acids, which account for much of its anti-inflammatory properties. This little herb could be extremely helpful in the treatment of arthritic pain. The recommended dose of black cohosh ranges from 40 to 80 milligrams per day. If you purchase the tincture, you can drop about two to four milliliters three times per day in water or tea. Or you may prefer using capsules. People with liver problems, especially women, should avoid this herb. Now here’s another herb that could help with aching knees. Boswellia is a herb that is native to India. Boswellia is often included in supplements targeting arthritis. It’s known for increasing blood flow to the joints. It doesn’t have any known side effects, which makes it popular for long-term treatment. In a study using both a placebo and boswellia, subjects taking boswellia reported improvements in knee functions and experienced a fuller range of motion when bending, squatting, sitting, and climbing stairs. Remember that, at times, rheumatoid arthritis can be difficult to detect because it mimics other conditions. It also develops so gradually that often people just pass their aches and pains off as symptoms of old age, dampness, or cold conditions. Your doctor can perform a blood test to look for signs of inflammation or extract fluid from a joint for examination, especially if after a physical examination it appears to be inflamed. In addition to checking for redness and swelling, your doctor will also consider the range of motion and strength of your joints. With both of the herbal remedies mentioned, read the supplement package information for instructions and possible side effects or drug interactions. You should also let your doctor know that you’re taking these.
