Home Remedies and Natural Cures for Arthritis Treatment

1. Arthritis Natural Cure Using Flax Seed Oil
- Flax Seed Oil’s main content is Omega-3 fats that help our body to produce Prostaglandins Series 1 and 3, which are anti-inflammatory hormone-like molecules.
- These molecules help reduce the inflammation that is associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.
- Take one tablespoon of Flax Seed 3 times daily.
- For breakfast, add Flax Seeds to your cereal, muffin, or bread.
- Mix ground Flax Seeds into chocolate/strawberry milk or orange juice.

2. Arthritis Home Remedy Using Epsom Salt
- Epsom Salt is high in magnesium.
- Magnesium is important for bone growth and regulates the body’s pH level.
- A deficiency of magnesium lowers the ability of the body to absorb and use calcium and phosphorus, which are the two primary bone-building minerals.
- Take care as excessive magnesium can cause diarrhea, nausea, cramps, muscle weakness, and heart abnormalities.
- Mix 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of Epsom Salt in one pint of warm water and take one teaspoon in the morning and one at night.
- Add three cups of Epsom Salt in hot bath water and soak in it.
- The magnesium in the salt is absorbed by the body and it soothes and relaxes the stiff joints and muscles.

3. Arthritis Home Remedy Using Alfalfa Seeds
- A tea that is made from Alfalfa, especially from its seeds, has shown beneficial results.
- Add one teaspoon of Alfalfa seeds to one cup of boiling water.
