Supporting Joints, Naturally

 

Maybe you’re starting feel stiff after standing up from a chair. Maybe opening a jar lid isn’t as easy as it used to be. Maybe your knees are beginning to hurt for the first several minutes of a jog or walk, and then again after you cool down. All of these are signs of arthritis—joint inflammation. Osteoarthritis is when the shock absorber between bones is breaking down, resulting in pain and inflammation. Other tissues in the joint may also become “angry,” such as tendons and ligaments. Osteoarthritis is associated with repetitive use/overuse, injury, genetics that impact our structure, or simply from wear and tear born of aging. Rheumatoid arthritis, in contrast, is an autoimmune issue where joint damage comes from targeting by a “confused” immune system. For both, there is support to be had via nutrition, plants, and mushrooms. Short of a new joint, there aren’t any cures, but there are steps we can take using nutrition, supportive movement, plants, and mushrooms to promote joint health and ease discomfort, and also mitigate the effects of NSAIDS commonly used for the pain. All of which will be the topic of this class. Attendees will be able to pick up a supportive blend of powdered herbs to sample. (If on prescription medications, check with your pharmacist or doc before combining with the herbs.)
