Even though you may associate arthritis as something elderly people get, you can actually get it at any age.
Arthritis is a combination of diseases that affect your musculoskeletal system (specifically your joints) and has characteristics of swelling, stiffness, inflammation, and pain.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, there are more than 50 million Americans living with arthritis. Most treatments for arthritis include pain relievers, medications, surgery (depending on the severity), and certain exercises.
What are the steps you can do to heal your joints naturally?
- Proper nutrition using vitamins and glucosamine sulfate, calcium, MSM
- Ease your joints with curamin, boswellia cherry, and comfrey topical cream
- Use your joints by reclaiming your range of motion (use heating pads or herb bags)
Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, joins Dr. Holly to discuss what arthritis is, as well as the four steps you can use to heal naturally.
