Arthritic Joints Botanical Blend

Description

Consult your natural health practitioner before taking if you are on any medication. Do not take this product if you are also taking aspirin. 

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium):

• contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, sesquiterpene lactones, and alkaloids, which possess inflammation-modulating properties. In arthritis, inflammation of the joints contributes to pain and stiffness. Yarrow may help alleviate these symptoms by reducing inflammation
• inhibiting pain pathways in the body and reducing the perception of pain signals, Yarrow may alleviate arthritis-related discomfort
• has been traditionally used as a muscle relaxant and antispasmodic agent. In arthritis, muscle tension and spasms can exacerbate pain and stiffness in the joints. Yarrow’s antispasmodic effects may help relax tense muscles, thereby reducing discomfort and improving joint mobility
• has diaphoretic properties, meaning it promotes sweating and helps the body eliminate toxins through the skin. Sweating may help reduce inflammation and remove metabolic waste products that contribute to arthritis symptoms

Nettle (Urtica dioica):

• contains bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, and lignans, which possess inflammation-modulating properties. In arthritis, inflammation of the joints contributes to pain and stiffness. Nettle may help alleviate these symptoms by reducing inflammation
• supports joint health and flexibility. It contains nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones, cartilage, and connective tissues in the joints
• diuretic properties, meaning it may help increase urine production and promote the elimination of excess fluids from the body. In arthritis, fluid retention can exacerbate swelling and discomfort in the joints
• contains antioxidant compounds that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals contribute to inflammation and tissue damage in arthritis

Ginger root (Zingiber officinale)

• contains bioactive compounds such as gingerol, shogaol, and paradol, which possess potent inflammation-modulating properties. These compounds may help reduce inflammation in the joints, which is a hallmark of arthritis
• exhibits analgesic properties, meaning it can help relieve pain. By inhibiting pain pathways in the body and modulating neurotransmitter activity, ginger may provide relief from arthritis-related discomfort
• some studies suggest that ginger root may help improve joint mobility and function in individuals with arthritis (Baliga, 2013) (Aryaeian et. al, 2019)

Horsetail herb(Equisetum arvense)

• is rich in silica, a mineral that is essential for the formation and maintenance of connective tissues, including bones, cartilage, and tendons. Silica plays a crucial role in supporting joint health and may help strengthen and repair the connective tissues damaged by arthritis
• contains diuretic properties, meaning it may help increase urine production and promote the elimination of excess fluids from the body. In arthritis, fluid retention can exacerbate swelling and discomfort in the joints. By acting as a diuretic, Horsetail herb may help reduce swelling and improve overall joint function
• contains antioxidant compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals contribute to inflammation and tissue damage in arthritis. By scavenging free radicals, Horsetail herb may help protect joint tissues from oxidative stress and slow down the progression of arthritis.

Comfrey root (Symphytum officinale):

• contains compounds such as allantoin, rosmarinic acid, and tannins, which exhibit inflammation-modulating properties which reduce pain and stiffness, and can help decrease the pressure on nerves, thereby reducing pain sensations

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra):

• contains bioactive compounds, including glycyrrhizin and flavonoids, which possess inflammation-modulating properties. In arthritis, inflammation of the joints contributes to pain and stiffness
• inhibits pain pathways in the body and modulates neurotransmitter activity, licorice helping alleviate arthritis-related discomfort
• inhibits the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of cortisol, a hormone involved in the body’s stress response. By prolonging the effects of cortisol, licorice root may help reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis

Meadowsweet herb (Filipendula ulmaria):

• contains salicylates, natural compounds that are similar to aspirin and possess inflammation-modulating and pain-relieving properties. Salicylates help reduce inflammation in the joints, which is a key factor in arthritis-related pain and stiffness
• blocks pain receptors in the body and reduces the perception of pain signals
• contains mucilage, a gel-like substance that helps soothe and protect irritated tissues in the body. In arthritis, mucilage may help lubricate the joints and reduce friction, thereby easing discomfort and improving joint mobility

Pau d’arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa):

• contains active compounds such as lapachol, quercetin, and other flavonoids that exhibit inflammation-modulating properties. In arthritis, inflammation of the joints contributes to pain and stiffness
• is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Free radicals contribute to inflammation and tissue damage in arthritis
• contains antimicrobial properties, which help clean up the terrain of infections (such as Candida overgrowth) that can exacerbate arthritis symptoms
• inhibits pain pathways in the body and reduces the perception of pain signals

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa):

• reduces internal irritation: Cat’s Claw helps calm excess heat and irritation in the joints, promoting a more balanced internal environment
• supports detoxification pathways: It assists the body in clearing accumulated wastes and toxins that contribute to stiffness and discomfort in arthritic conditions
• eases joint discomfort: Traditionally used to relieve deep-seated aches, Cat’s Claw can help restore natural ease of movement and reduce pain
• restores oxidative balance: Its rich antioxidant profile helps maintain cellular integrity in the joint tissues by neutralizing harmful byproducts of metabolic stress.
