Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the joint lining becomes inflamed as part of the body's immune system activity. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most serious and disabling types of arthritis. Current arthritis treatment methods focus on relieving arthritis pain, reducing arthritis inflammation, stopping or slowing joint damage, improving movement and increasing general wellbeing.

Our natural arthritis treatment is designed to assist with each of these treatment methods and is especially effective when used

Our Arthritis  Oil contains  sweet almond and sunflower oils hand blended with pure essential oils of: lavender, which is the most used essential oil in aromatherapy for its wide properties of being anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory just to name a couple; thyme, for arthritis; rosemary, for muscular aches and pains and last but not least juniper berry, for its stimulating and anti-rheumatic properties. Rheumatoid arthritis often manifests itself in the hands and weight bearing joints but can affect all parts of the body.

Ginger

Thanks to a substance called gingerol, this herb possesses potent anti-inflammatory effects. In fact, when researchers compared ginger with ibuprofen they both showed similar anti-inflammatory activity. This makes sense, since both block COX-2, the enzyme that produces chemicals that promote inflammation and pain. 

Ginger has been proven effective as a pain reliever in many studies. In one that included people with OA of the knee, 95 percent of patients treated with ginger reported a reduction in pain. In another study of people with chronic knee pain, massage with ginger oil was compared to a massage only and a treatment-as-usual group. After one week, knee pain and stiffness were similar among the three groups. At the four-week follow-up, however, the aromatherapy group reported a reduction in knee pain, as well an improvement in physical function compared to the control groups. 

Peppermint

The power of peppermint is due to menthol — it contains at least 44 percent free menthol, which produces a sensation of hot or cold that can temporarily override your ability to feel your arthritis pain. 

Wintergreen

A combination of wintergreen oil and peppermint oil is commonly used because it’s believed to give far better pain relief than either oil alone, note researchers in a 2014 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. The combination oil may potentiate the individual effects of each oil, allowing the use of lower doses of each, which is likely to produce fewer side effects. 

Lavender

Either inhaled, applied directly or added to a warm bath, Lavender oil helps in reducing pain, anxiety, and depression.

No fragrance is more associated with good sleep than lavender. The herb contains at least two compounds, linalool and linalyl acetate, which have sedative effects. But lavender also seems to help directly with chronic joint pain. In a study of 90 patients with OA of the knee, the pain severity of the group that was given massage with lavender essential oil was immediately and significantly improved compared to the placebo groups. 

Eucalyptus

You may know it best from products like Vicks VapoRub, where it acts to clear your airways. But the oil also contains compounds that act as anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling and pain. In one study on people with OA who had knee replacement surgery, inhalation of eucalyptus oil for 30 minutes on three consecutive days following surgery was effective in decreasing pain. 

Directions: the massage oil can be used up to four times per day, massaged directly into the areas requiring the most urgent treatment.
