Arthritis Natural Alternatives to Aleve Check List
Heres what I do- on a regular basis, so I dont reach for the aleve anymore
Detailed info is in other posts, or will be in the next
Its Morning, as I wake up to creaky joints and shuffle to get some water
1 Collagen type 2 capsule
1 horsetail grass capsule
1 tsp Turmeric in half glass of water
2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar, Breyers
I started with the Collagen type 2 - (supposed to be the most effective) on my first brush with the symptoms, and know thats going to build up the collagen type 2 which deteriorates in the cartilage.
Relief to pain, about 40%, say, in about 1 hour.
Before I got the collagen, Ibuprofen/aleve was not an option. With collagen, I'd take them about couple times a week
Horsetail is kinda optional maybe, but it has silica, and I'm thinking it'll do good in the long run, by building up the connective tissue
Turmeric , relief to pain goes up by 70% or more when I take it, in about half hour. Inflammation went down noticeably, which didnt happen to that extent with just collagen. When I ran out of collagen, I was ok with Turmeric twice daily for a few days.
Why ACV? too many people say its good for too many things, so I've started on it over the last few days. It gives me a "feel-good" feeling, and a better metabolism.
Evenings also get me creaky and I repeat the Turmeric/Collagen/ACV
Other things include
Stay Warm at all times, slip on an extra jacket or shirt
Socks at all times, not just when cold, definitely to sleep in. There is a marked increase in pain the nights my socks slip off or I forget to wear them. Not just for the cold nights.
Wear Rubber gloves when cleaning up. Hands become very very cold when exposed to water, and pain begins soon after
Late evening, workout with weights, I use Pain Relief serum with Plai, to reduce muscle and joint soreness. Found it gives an extra hand in increasing mobility in the knees, the morning after I increase the workout, else pain becomes very bad first thing in the morning.
