| Tasty Spice Can Replace Arthritis Medications |
There’s a spice that’s greater than your arthritis medications.
Why is it greater?
Because it’s just as effective as medication in relieving the pain in your joints. Plus, it’s cheaper and tastier than medication.
Did we mention that it’s super easy to find this spice, too? (Yep, you’ll find it in any supermarket, health food store, and pretty much any neighborhood – it’s really inexpensive, too!)
Most of us agree that ginger packs a punch in the food and makes it tastier! But if ginger can also provide relief from arthritis, there is more reason to add this spice as often as possible in food!
The researchers from University of Miami compared the relief obtained from ginger versus a placebo in 247 participants with osteoarthritis. The participants were divided into two groups. One group was given a 255 milligrams dose of highly concentrated ginger extract supplement twice a day for a period of 6 weeks. The other group received a placebo.
About two-thirds of participants who took the ginger supplements showed improvements in arthritis, including relief from joint discomfort and pain. The relief and effects of ginger was found to be comparable to what common pain medications offered.
The results have been so promising that the team is confident that one day ginger will easily replace non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for treating arthritis.
Now, that you know why ginger should not only be in your spice section but also your medicine cabinet, it’s also necessary to see in which form it is most effective.
While gingerbread, ginger tea and ginger snaps all sound divine, they have very low concentration of ginger to actually be effective. But there are capsules available in all most health food stores that contain a highly concentrated form of pure ginger that is found to be most effective when it comes to treating arthritis.
You can also get the natural goodness of ginger by grating fresh ginger in salads or soups!
But if you really want to get rid of arthritis, there’s this really powerful method.
