EAZOL Pain Relief
Arthritis can affect you no matter what your age. Rheumatoid arthritis in particular is not just for the older population. But even with arthritis, you can still keep up the activities you enjoy.
This disease is especially difficult on people who like to be very active. Think about the avid skier who is looking forward to the season and has accumulated all the new Salomon ski equipment in preparation. Then what started out as an occasional annoying ache in the knees really flares up and even walking is agonizing.
Arthritis often affects the hands and knees first, although hips and shoulders are not uncommon. The onset of leg arthritis reminds you just how much you rely on them working properly. Hand arthritis can be even more debilitating. The good news is, there are things that you can do to help alleviate the pain and continue living as normal.
There are many different supplements on the market for the aches and pains in the joints that are the main symptoms of arthritis. Two of the most common of these are chondroitin and glucosamine. These have been used for a while so there are many studies showing their usefulness.
Glucosamine is a substance that is in both cartilage and fluid surrounding the joints for cushioning. As cartilage begins to wear down, as it does with osteoarthritis, pain, stiffness and swelling is experienced in the joints. Glucosamine supplementation helps by reducing loss in cartilage and also improving pain and inflammation.
Generally, the glucosamine is taken from the shells of prawns and crabs or other shellfish. If your diet cannot include these, there is also a vegetarian glucosamine supplement. Whether you choose to eat a vegetarian diet or you are allergic to shellfish, as many people are, this is an alternative.
There are also a number of herbal supplements that can be taken to assist with arthritis. These are available over the counter, but it is a good idea to seek the advice of a professional herbalist. Chinese herbs, in particular, are prescribed based on a picture of your entire health, not just to relieve symptoms.
You can maintain the active lifestyle you love even after the onset of arthritis. Start looking today to find the best combination of supplements and alternative therapies to help you relieve your symptoms. Early treatment means you will be on your ski vacation that much sooner.
