As we age our joints can begin to lose flexibility and become stiff and at times painful. Sports injuries, accidents, dietary indiscretions and sedentary lifestyle all take their toll on joint health. Attention to diet is extremely important especially reducing the intake of acid forming foods. Include herbs such as Dandelion, Sage and Nettle in your diet for their healing properties as well as the abundant supply of nutrients they contain.
The following remedies may help to relieve symptoms and stimulate healing.
Apis: Burning, stinging pain in the joint with rosy redness, heat and puffy swelling. Often it is the knees or hands that are affected.
