Two herbs repected for their role in pain relief and the reduction of inflammation
Devils claw Flowers
Boswellia
Boswellia is used to reduce inflammation. Unlike conventional NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen–the accepted treatments for joint inflammation–boswellia doesn’t cause stomach irritation. Boswellia has been shown to lessen morning stiffness and increase joint mobility. In a study of 175 patients with rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, a crippling joint disease, 122 participants experienced reduced stiffness and inflammation after starting on a boswellia regimen. Medifreeze advanced cold pain relief lotion is an example of a new product that uses Boswellia
Devil’s Claw
Devil’s Claw works to reduce inflammation and pain. The latest findings indicate that the plant does not exert anti-inflammatory effects in the same way that many standard anti-inflammatory medications do. Studies point to painkilling and anti-inflammatory actions. A handful of studies support the use of devil’s claw for easing the inflammation and pain that often afflict people with back pain and arthritis. Mild pain relief and a lessening of inflammation was noted in a study that compared the devil’s claw with the effects of a common arthritis drug (phenylbutazone).
