The Very Best Home Remedies to Cure Joint Pain!
"Arthralgia (from Greek arthro-, joint + -algos, pain) literally means joint pain; it is a symptom of injury, infection, illnesses -- in particular arthritis-- or an allergic reaction to medication.
According to MeSH, the term arthralgia should only be used when the condition is non-inflammatory, and the term arthritis should be used when the condition is inflammatory.
Diagnosis involves interviewing the patient and performing physical exams. When attempting to establish the cause of the arthralgia, the emphasis is on the interview. The patient is asked questions intended to narrow the number of potential causes. Given the varied nature of these possible causes, the questions may strike the uninitiated as irrelevant. For example the patient may be asked about dry mouth, light sensitivity, rashes or a history of seizures. Answering yes or no to any of these questions limits the number of possible causes and guides the doctor toward the appropriate exams and lab tests.
The causes of arthralgia are varied and range from, a joints perspective, degenerative and destructive processes such as osteoarthritis and sports injuries to inflammation of tissues surrounding the joints (e.g. bursitis, a painful inflammation of bursa, fluid filled sacks around the joints)."

[YEA] Rose from Kampala writes: "I suffered from joint pain for a period of over two months. I took antibiotics continously to no avail. However one day I was told by a friend that aloe vera could work. I started by boiling aloe vera juice extacted from the sap. In addition I would also rub the gel on my joints and experience healing."

[YEA] 04/19/2010: Natural Girl from Somewhere, Nc, Us writes: "ACV for joint pain
Ok, I've finally gotten up the nerve to make a post on EC. I stumbled across EC in my desparation to relieve a really bad flare up of joint pain & inflammation a couple of months ago and I haven't had my nose out of this site much since! I started with adding a splash of ACV to my drinking water (I try to get my 8 glasses a day). Thought it can't hurt to try it. Was really surprised at how much relief it provided. Don't think I'll ever be without it now. Wish I had some idea what causes these flare ups. I suspect food allergies and have eliminated things like wheat and corn. I don't have what I call 'stressers' in my diet because I don't have processed food, don't eat out unless we're on vacation. Been pretty much a health nut my whole life. I enjoy cooking. Have one meal a day that is raw food, the rest consist of grains, nuts, fruits & vegies, organic chicken, fresh eggs and raw milk cheeses and well I think you get the picture. Really don't understand why I have the health problems that I do and I have a host of problems. I'll spare you the details on these till another time. For now though, I think every 'body' needs a little ACV daily! Good health to YOU!"
04/20/2010: Alfred from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT..your eating good stuff.BUT.. our bodies run on electrial currents, according to the book I read from time to time. Our cells are little generators.. the main mix of our cells is potassium and a little salt. If you eat too much Salt it pushes the potassium out and we have joint Pain and back problems. From what I see is on your diet..No food that has potassium. BUT your lucky.. you discovered Apple cider Vinegar, which is loaded with potassium.. Drink daily 3 or 4 times a day.. say 2 tea or two tablespoons.. your pain will be gone shortly and a lot of the other challenges you have.Stay well.. your living in Nowhere. Sounds like Heaven.
Alfred"
04/20/2010: Natural Girl from Somewhere, Nc, Us replies: "Thanks Alfred for your feedback. I will certainly keep plugging away with the ACV. My pain is so much reduced that it's almost like not having any! I've also noticed a big reduction in seasonal allergies. So I definitely think the ACV is something that I've needed.I do have a question and this is for anybody out there. I was born with problems, can someone who started out life with a hormone imbalance correct it in the course of a life time? I can't seem to find info on this subject. Just want to know if I'm fighting a loosing battle or not."
04/20/2010: Tricia from Ireland replies: "I believe you can - if the hormone producing glands are not physically damaged. If the parts have just shutdown they should restart with the right kind of trigger however if glands are missing or not formed correctly then it's a case of 'nothing to restart'."
04/20/2010: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Natural Girl,I'm not sure what you mean by "born with problems" but I for one, give that a resounding "Yes!" to turning problems we are "born with" around. I was a very sickly child born with a heart murmur, severely anemic through my childhood, plagued with bladder and kidney infections, in and out of drs. and "specialists" offices, excruciating pain coursing through my legs when they got "a cold" of which the drs. could give no explanation, bouts with as many as 30 canker sores in my mouth at a time of which again, the drs. would give me a "chicken pox" vaccine for! Well, when I left home and begin to live on my own, I began to explore health and alternative healing, herbs, dietary lifestyles such as macrobiotic, vegetarian, vegan, etc., spiritual/energetic healing/avenues, meditation, past life work and so much more which turned my life around. I am one of thousands who were willing to take the lesser traveled/known path believing there are answers that the mainstream medical field wasn't giving/didn't know and I was right. It sometimes saddens me that so many people just take diagnoses as "the absolute truth". They give it like it's a life sentence and one you must live with forever yet truly, there are so many answers but you have to search and sometimes it can be a trying search. I am always willing to learn more and believe the world is full of possibilities. One must always know there are answers- hope will also carry you through adversity and keep your spirits up which keeps our body stronger.
Keep searching for your answers- post them more specifically here on EC or keep googling with different words/phrases because different sites show up. I believe there is a Divine Power that you can also ask for help from also. I found my answers beginning here when I tried to learn more about the mini beet protocol after trying everything that people recommmended on here! That led me on a journey I never would have dreamed of! So, don't give up! Our health is worth the effort!Best to you, Lisa"
04/21/2010: Natural Girl from Somewhere, Nc, Us replies: "Thanks for all the feedback, it's encouraging to think that there are others who think I can beat this. I've worked at it for more then 30yrs now. For a brief back ground of myself: I was born premature, my mother gave birth to 7 lbs of very heathy fibroid tumors and 4 lbs of me. I was put in an incubator and my mother was told not to expect to take me home. Well, guess what, I did eventually go home. Been anemic most of my life, can't take iron, have ear infections, damaged eardrums and hearing loss. Use to catch every cold, flu or virus that blow past the door. Have bodyaches and pain pretty much all the time. Have a thyroid that works when it wants to. I was on medication for it but after fighting with my endocrinolgist for 2 years over it and coming to the conclusion he was an idiot. He got my level to just barely within the normal range and was happy with that (do you have any idea how big that 'normal' range is???) I took myself off the medication. I figure if it's not helping me feel better then I don't need to be taking it just because he prescribed it. That was 7 years ago. Started taking kelp and coconut oil and since doing this haven't gained any more weight. Think it's the first time in my adult life that I haven't gained weight. Have no hope of loosing it though and I have a lot to loose. The thyroid issues I'm pretty sure stem from birth, I think it was stuck in producing RT3 hormone which is what's producted to keep us alive during famine. My body just doesn't know that it's not in any danger. I stay tired but I'm pretty good at pushing myself. However, the older I get the harders it's getting to push. Part of me has wanted to give up this pursuit and learn to live with the measure of health that I have but I'm tenacious. Happy to now have the internet to do research, sure makes it easy and frustrating. I'll try to keep posting results and looking for feedback. Thanx again. Good Health To YOU!"
04/21/2010: Alfred from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Nature Girl.. Did some checking in my Library.. Some Info in the OWNERS MANUAL BY OZ..Keep in the back of your mind..Hyaluronic Acid.. each pill 35mg or more.I think the Best contact TED..He is one smart person..

06/07/2010: Elsaeasterly from Elsewhere, Ca, Usa replies: "Lisa,
I am wondering if your bladder and kidney infections were just during childhood or did they continue into adulthood? Do you think one specific thing put an end to them or was it a total lifestyle change? Is it true that your health transformation just started a few months ago?"
06/08/2010: Lisa from Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa replies: "Hi Elsaeasterly,I would say, for the most part, most of my bladder and kidney infections were through my youth and as I said, when I left home and began to find a new way of life through diet, they never returned. I started as a macrobiotic, then a vegetarian. Eventually, I returned to adding in chicken and later beef back into my diet but I have always maintained eating "close to the land" meaning staying away from fast food, junk food and processed food. It had served me well but then when I was 48 I suddenly started getting bladder infections again and also tooth infections. I would try to get rid of them through natural means which sometimes worked, sometimes not. Then I would have to resort to antibiotics. That was frustrating for me. There would be a demise in my health which, I believe, was a virus that attacked my joints and sent unbelievable pain radiating through my legs. I tried all sorts of paths- Chinese medicine, Aryuvedic, chiropractic, healers, massage therapy, I was open to it all. Just not pharmaceuticals. Interestingly, the same weaknesses from my childhood revisited me at near 50.
I discovered Earth Clinic in my ongoing quest to restore my health in October 2008 and proceeded to try lots of remedies from this site. I saw changes occur and improvements but nothing really, really noteworthy. That was until I tried the mini beet protocol and then onto juicing daily and a high raw diet back in October 2009. Then, lots changed and significantly! Within 2 days my body pain ceased and the bloating that I had dealt with for about 3 years disappeared as well. I lost about 10 lbs. My hip pain improved dramatically (although admittedly, I still have some) and wrinkles around my eyes disappeared. The melasma that had increased as I got older disappeared as well.
So, to answer your question, my health transformation began a little over 8 months ago! I am a great believer that food is our best medicine and I have seen what it can do for us through my personal experience. Honestly, I believe we can turn anything around through diet.
The most recent change I have added in, which began about 2 months ago and has also made a difference, is cultured veggies, drinks and food. I eat kimchi, fermented soybeans, young coconut kefir and cultured veggies. The last two items I make myself. What all of that does is re-colonizes our gut with lots of good bacteria which is where our immunity health lives.
Anyway, if you have questions about turning your own health around, know that it is absolutely possible! I hope this info helps you and maybe even inspires you!
The very best to you, Lisa"
06/08/2010: Natural Girl from Somewhere, Nc, Us replies: "Joint Pain updateIt's been a over a month now since my last post. In that time I continued with ACV and I started Hyaluronic Acid. The ACV helped me through the worst allergy season ever and I don't gerenally have allergies. The HA is amazing though. Other then the arthritis that's been in certain fingers for years and the new arthritis that settled in my feet a couple of years ago, there is significant improvement everywhere else. Anxious to see how things are going to turn out in the future with this stuff.
I also started h2o2 therapy 6 weeks ago. I'm up to 20 drops am/pm. This has been tough! Doing this for yeast, arthritis and detox. Haven't had any ill side affect from it but it's hard to take, I can shudder anytime of day just thinking about it! As far as it working for me, guess I'll just have to wait and see on this one as well.
After reading so many post by all the wonderful folks here at EC, and how their energy and overall health improved with many of these same things that I'm doing, I'm a little discouraged and concerned that I haven't as yet hit on what I need to be giving my body so that it can help itself. Maybe more time is need for me. Oh, just remembered something, I have been sleeping ALOT better, 8 to 10 hours a night. This has caused me to think about something my mother told me as a kid when our family dog was sick. She said, 'He sleeps so he can get better, just like you sleep when you are sick'. Due to circumstances related to severe stress and anxiety, I'm probably more sleep deprived then anything else. Hopefully, one day I'll wake up, spring out of bed and be ready to attack the day... GOOD HEALTH TO YOU!"

[YEA] 03/10/2010: Suzanne from Abbotsford, Bc writes: "Painful joints
I took glucosamine sulphate for my joints for many years because it helped. Then when I had frozen shoulder, I took a supplement in the hopes that it would help. It made me feel young again, except for my shoulder. However, I found it to be too expensive for me, so when I read about ACV on this website, I decided to try it. I only take 1 tablespoon a day with a glass of water, but that is enough for my joints to feel ok. Sometimes I add 1/4 t. baking soda, esp. if I feel like I'm "coming down" with something. Then I might make a tonic of a couple of tablespoons ACV, lemon joice, and honey, mixed in a mug of hot water. Every week I skip a day or two, as that was recommended somewhere on here."

[YEA] 05/23/2009: Jean from Los Angeles, CA writes: "Wow was I skeptical after reading some of the outrageous claims for apple cider vinegar. I thought I would try it for weight loss. Since December I have been taking a teaspoon in the morning and another in the afternoon. I sort of cup my tongue and place a teaspoonful there and then take a swig of water or coke or anything else I have and swallow both together. My objective here is to try to keep the straight ACV off my teeth and off my throat. ACV has been a total failure for weight loss but a miracle in curing my joint pain. It used to be so painful for me to stand up after sitting in front of a computer screen for 20 minutes. Now I can sit for a couple hours with no pain upon rising from a chair. (It works much better than MSM without the side effects and doesn't cost $30 a month.) I use Trader Joe's brand.
I also have iron-like toenails that require all my strength to cut them. It is hereditary I think as my mother has the same problem. I soak my feet in a solution of 2 or 3 parts water to one part white vinegar. This vinegar is about $2 for a gallon and lasts a long time. It doesn't matter what kind you use, buy the cheapest. Soak your feet in this solution for 10-20 minutes, then trim. We were amazed, you will be too.
Please post your results if either of these solutions work for you. Thanks."

[YEA] 06/24/2007: Carolynne from Cordova, Tennessee writes: "I have been drinking apple cider vinegar for about six years. What I noticed right away was I don't have any of joint stiffness and pain. When I stop using it for more than 4 days, the pain returns to my back and neck. I also noticed that my weight is always perfect for my height 5'6", 127 pounds, 54 years old. The vinegar removes the excess salt from your body when you sleep,so no bags under the eyes when you wake up in the morning. I drink two tablespoons of acv with 16 ounces of water, two hours before bed, it removes toxins in your body while sleeping, so no swelling in the joints, no bags under the eyes from excess salt. It is a natural weight loss, as well as rotor-rooters the arteries, so good for your heart. also keeps your body from getting sick. I love it!"

Told me to stop lifting weights. I didn't completely stop, but did slow down. Started drinking the acv & honey 2 x a day again, for allergies. While looking at your website, it occured to me that I have not been having pain while lifting weights, even though I had increased the weight amount. I used to not be able to touch the bones on the sides of either elbow without it hurting...I just touched them and there is NO PAIN!! I really hadn't thought about the difference until I was reading your website. ACV & honey will be taken EVERY DAY...TWICE A DAY. Two capfuls of acv & 9 squirts of honey/2 tablespoons full. This stuff REALLY, REALLY, WORKS!!!"

[YEA] 11/06/2006: James from Pemberton, New Jersey writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar has cured: varicose veins, weight lose, tendinitis, wrinkles. In April of 2005, I came across a booklet for ACV, at the time I was 50 years old I played sports in high school, a construction worker for 20 years and a mover for the last 15, so I have done a number on my body over the years. My daughter convinced me to start taking ACV... I have taken it everyday since! The health benefits have been many. The first thing I noticed was my hair and nail growth, doesn't seem like much but my hair was white and had no color, but was growing back in blonde! I thought that was amazing! Over all the years of abuse on my feet and ankles I had purple feet from the varicose veins, it really was a severe case, after two months of use my feet started to look clearer to me, but I wasn't sure so I started taking pictures....I now have NO varicose veins on my feet, legs or anything. In April of 2005 I was a size 38 pants, today I am a 32 pants. I have not done any extra exercise to achieve this, It simply melted the pounds away (I also have a six pack again). The ACV has given me a facelift, I do NOT look like I am 51! My wrinkles around my eyes have literally disappeared. My skin is tighter, firmer every where. I feel like a new man. Over the years while abusing my body in my everyday life (working) I developed new and painful body movements, aches where I never had before and eventually the Doc diagnosed me with tendinitis (really painful) in both of my shoulders, being a mover this isn't good for business, it really started hurting my paycheck (then I started the ACV). I really had not realized I stopped taking the naproxen the Dr. had prescribed until I went to see him for my physical. He asked me if I needed a new script, that's when I realized I used to live on those pills everyday and hadn't needed them once since I started taking the ACV, so I told the Dr. about the ACV he was awed, seeing the results for himself he decided to start taking it, in fact my Barber, Boss, Coworkers, Kids, Brothers and sister all now take it with health benefits of there own. I tell you I LOVE ACV it has changed my life and made me a new healthier man. I actually believe I have a long healthy life ahead. The recipe I use everyday is: 2 table spoons of ACV and 1 Tablespoon of honey. Add water to taste. I do this two times a day, everyday. Good luck to all in your journey to a healthier you!"

[YEA] 07/23/2006: Charlie from Ft. Smith, AR writes: "I used both Apple Cider Vinegar and MSM to cure a "trigger finger". ' A big knot appeared on the inside of my thumb joint. It was EXTREMELY painful. I couldn't write or do anything with that hand. I didn't realize how important my thumb was. The dr. gave me a cortisone shot in it (ouch) and said if that didn't help, he would have to do surgery and cut the tendons in my thumb to try and relieve the pain. The cortisone shot didn't help. I received a magazine in the mail shortly after this talking about MSM. I decided I had nothing to lose by trying it. After a few weeks of using MSM, ALL the pain went away. (This all happened about 5 years ago). The knot was still there even though the pain was gone (it was a very obvious knot). I then started taking apple cider vinegar tablets and WOW, the knot disappeared!! It is still gone and so is the pain."

EC: Unfortunately, no one has ever reported eating apples for joint pain. However, one person has reported success with apple pectin.
Taken internally, 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 8 ounces of water is the typical dosage for joint pain.

It literally felt like I had been walking on a 4x4 strapped to my knee, and it felt like the 2 outside bones in my leg were going to shoot out of my leg with any step....Well, a good friend told me to get unfiltered apple cider vinegar, and to drink a teaspoon in about 4 ounces of water every day. I didn't really believe that it would work. Not as good as he said, but I've been drinking it now for 2 weeks, and oh my god,......"it works"....it really works. The last three days was so hard on my knee, & i was forced to use a crutch, but I woke up this morning, & I had very little pain,.....I was able to walk without pain, & I have no limp.....i haven't walked without a limp in over 2 years....I am definitely a firm believer in apple cider vinegar, and I will drink it every day from now on. I feel so energetic now, & I'm cheerful. The apple cider vinegar really helps with so many things."

[YEA] 10/13/2006: Lad from Bel Air, MD writes: "Apple Pectin cured Asteo-Arthritis and ganglion cycsts in the small knuckles. The hot-water/ACV soak recommended on Earthclinic was the most helpful topical treatment I ever tried for my painful knuckles. But when I started taking Certo (liquid citrus pectin) I noticed more lasting improvement during the day. When I later added apple pectin pills, the pain relief neared 100%. I read where pectin revives stiff, damaged synovial tissue - which is the culprit in ganglions. Doctor's only recommended Gluc./chon./MSM, gloves, or surgery! I've tried just about EVERY arthritis supplement out there over the years, (including some fairly exotic and costly ones). But these very cheap, simple and widely available food-based home remedies did the trick for me. It's a shame they aren't more widely known."

[SIDE EFFECTS] 08/21/2007: Sylvia from Tillsonburg, Ontario Canada writes: "I was suffering unexplainable joint & muscle pain and, at least, 70% of my pain disappeared when I eliminated Aspartame in my diet. I have done great research on Aspartame and it poisons people. All diet products contain Aspartame and it is in over 5000 food and beverage products."
[SIDE EFFECTS] 11/26/2008: Deb from PG, Utah replies: "WARNING: Aspartame is poison.I am not sure if I have written about this on this site but let me tell you I almost died. One day in the movie theater about 10 minutes into the film my joints started hurting within ten additional minutes I hurt all over my body expecially my spine. I had to have help form my son to stand and walk to the car. I was in so much pain I thought I would die. I had no medical insurance so couldn't see the doc. two days and bed ridden my son brought me an artical on Aspartame poisoning. I know from drinking diet soda that is what had happened. It took months with herbs for body and blood purification for me to stop hurting so bad. 8 months later is was mostly out of my system. I will never touch artificial sugar again. None of it!"
