Arnica  For Pain  And Inflammation

Most people know arnica as a homeopathic remedy that comes in small tablets you can dissolve under your tongue.  These are great for pain relief, but they don’t make a very good topical relief.  That’s where arnica oil and arnica essential oils come in!  You can use these in your roll-on remedies, lotions. or with your favorite carrier oil to deliver relief right on the spot.

Yes this little known herbal remedy that can help you reduce pain & inflammation, and recover from injuries faster.   In today’s new guest-blog, my friend Catherine will show you some interesting benefits of arnica, how to use it, some warnings, and more: Arnica benefits for pain & inflammation (Seriously though. This oil should be in every parent’s first-aid kit.  It’s amazing for topical application and provides instant relief.)

Bone on Bone!

Tens of millions of Americans (more than 50 million at last count) have experienced something like this scenario, and maybe you’re one of them…

You go to see the doctor because you have a stiff, painful joint that just won’t quit – and he says the exact words you don’t want to hear.

He tells you that your poor joint is now BONE ON BONE.

Here’s what that means…

In a healthy joint – a knee, elbow, hip, shoulder or any other spot where two bones meet – the ends of the bones are covered by cartilage.  This smooth, white “connective tissue” – a kind of cross between soft muscle and hard bone – literally cushions every joint, making effortless movement possible.

But time isn’t kind to our joints.  As the years pass, cartilage can erode.  Cell by cell, it just wears away.  Until there’s so little left that the two bones constantly bump into each other.  Ouch!  Nagging pain replaces pain-free living.  Stiffness replaces flexibility.

And those achy joints often have a strange soundtrack – the creepy “bone music” doctors call crepitus.  These grating, grinding, crunchy, creaky sounds are produced when – you guessed it – one bone rubs against another.

Now, maybe you’re feeling pretty hopeless about this “bone on bone” situation.

If there’s no cartilage left, what chance do you have of relieving pain and stiffness?  Not to mention being able to do the things you love, like going for a pain-free walk or happily playing with your rambunctious grandchildren.

Short of a joint replacement, it seems like a joint that’s “bone on bone” is a lost cause.

Well, as a board-certified naturopathic physician who uses non-drug remedies to control and reverse my patients’ chronic health problems, I’m here to tell you… THAT’S NOT TRUE!

I’m here to tell you that even in cases of bone on bone joint pain, there’s hope for relief.

 NEAR-INSTANT RELIEF!

I’m talking 30 seconds!  You can’t get much more “instant” than that.

In fact, this one-step approach is SO simple and SO powerful that the doctor who created it is called “The Joint Whisperer” – because the therapy he’s describing literally “talks” to your bones so that they behave.

Or you can think of the therapy as an-all natural “cushion” that quietly slips into the space between your joints, providing a way to stop bone rubbing on bone.

To You,
Change That Up!
