Arthritis can be mild or it can be severe. It can be a crippling and debilitating disease or one that only produces mild symptoms that can be treated easily.
Arthritis is most often associated with aging but it young people can develop arthritis, as well.

Arthritis is an equal opportunity disease. All races are afflicted with arthritis and there is no one race more inclined to be stricken with it. Arthritis affects the joints. Joints become inflamed, stiffen & deteriorate.

Arthritis is one of the oldest diseases on planet earth, so it stands to reason that people have been attempting to relieve the pain it causes for centuries. Arthritis is not a fatal disease even in its most crippling form, Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is has been said that people don’t die from rheumatoid arthritis, they die with rheumatoid arthritis.

Since the joints are affected, it stands to reason that home remedies would tend to lean toward direct application to the joints for relieving pain—and they do.
Rubbing aching joints with warm vinegar is an old-time home remedy that many who suffer with the disease today still use.

A poultice made of mullein, slippery elm bark, lobelia, and cayenne is another old home remedy that is still used. Putting poultices and rubs on the affected joints is not the only way that home remedies are used to treat arthritis, however.

Apple cider vinegar and honey taken daily is said to relieve the pain of arthritis.  Cold liver oil whipped into orange juice is also supposed to help. A cup or two of alfalfa tea is said to relieve the pain and stiffness caused by arthritis, as well.

Some home remedies for arthritis are more physical. Rather that the use of poultices, rubs or be drinking teas or concoctions, the use of heat applied directly to the aching joints and then exercise of those joints is used to relieve the stiffness and pain.
