Here is the science behind why it works.
Cinnamon Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Cinnamon is good for helping to reduce inflammation in your body due to the compound cinnamaldehyde.
A study published in the journal Food & Function found that Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon are one of the most important anti-inflammatory foods. Cinnamon extracts contain cinnamaldehyde which can help treat age-related inflammatory conditions. (9)
Lab studies have shown that compounds in cassia cinnamon help to lower inflammatory markers in the blood. Scientists concluded that cinnamon extract has potential use in natural health products due to its excellent anti-inflammatory properties. (10)
Cinnamon Consumption Improves Clinical Symptoms and Inflammatory Markers in Women With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29722610/
Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of cinnamon on disease activity, serum levels of some inflammatory markers, and cardiovascular risk factors in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, 36 women with RA were randomly divided to 2 groups, receiving 4 capsules of either 500 mg cinnamon powder or placebo daily for 8 weeks. Fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid profile, liver enzymes, serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), blood pressure, and clinical symptoms were determined at baseline and end of the week 8.
Results: At the end of the study, there was a significant decrease of serum levels of CRP (p < 0.001) and TNF-α (p < 0.001) in the cinnamon group as compared to the placebo group. Diastolic blood pressure was also significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group (p = 0.017). Compared with placebo, cinnamon intake significantly reduced the Disease Activity Score (DAS-28) (p < 0.001), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (p < 0.001), and tender (TJC) (p < 0.001) and swollen joints (SJC) (p < 0.001) counts. No significant changes were observed for FBS, lipid profile, liver enzymes, or ESR.
Conclusion: Cinnamon supplementation can be a safe and potential adjunct treatment to improve inflammation and clinical symptoms in patients with RA.

I've read a lot over the years about natural remedies for arthritis. In fact, elsewhere on this website I've shared the success I've had using Boron. Recently, I came across a scientific study that I think is worth sharing with fellow Earth Clinic readers. It looked at the use of a homeopathic tissue salt—Calcarea Fluor 6C—for treating arthritis.
If you'd like to read the study for yourself, you'll find it here: https://ijirt.org/publishedpaper/IJIRT168839_PAPER.pdf.
Here's what the study says:
"The overall results underscore promising advancements in managing osteoarthritis symptoms. By showing a reduction of 17.1% in pain, 24.2% in stiffness, and a 15.9% enhancement in physical function, Calcarea Fluor 6C appears to offer a gentle yet effective option for patients seeking relief from this common degenerative joint disease."
The authors also point out:
"Standard treatments typically involve nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, or even surgical interventions. In contrast, homeopathic remedies like Calcarea Fluor 6C present a more holistic approach with fewer side effects, making them appealing for those looking for alternative options."
And finally:
"This study's outcomes after 3 months suggest that Calcarea Fluor 6C could be a valuable addition to the treatment arsenal for osteoarthritis. The notable improvements in pain, stiffness, and physical function signal its potential role in enhancing patients' overall well-being."
What I like about Calc Fluor 6C is that it's affordable, very gentle, and—most importantly—has no side effects. I've been using it myself with good results, and that's why I felt it was worth sharing here. If you're exploring natural ways to ease arthritis symptoms, this might be something to consider.
Black Cumin and Honey
Add 1 teaspoon cumin powder to ½ a glass of water and drink it daily. Drink this after your meals every day for 20 days or more for good results. It taste like taco's.
Cumin can help in burning calories faster by increasing the speed of metabolism and improving digestion. When you have a healthy digestive system and a faster metabolism, you will automatically lose weight.
Iranian scientists from the Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences included 88 women who were considered overweight or obese into their study. They randomly divided them into two groups.
– One group ate 3 grams (equal to three-fourths of a teaspoon or 3/4 teaspoon) of cumin powder daily, mixed into 5 grams of yogurt.
– The control group consumed yogurt too, but without any additions.
– Both groups received dietary advice and reduced their daily caloric intake by 500 calories.
Cumin for Weight Loss: Research Results
Different body measurements and parameters were taken before the study and after 3 months of dieting.
Women who were eating cumin, lost twice as much body fat (not body muscle) compared to those in the non-cumin group.
Borax
I find Borax to be very helpful. I was reading about Parasites..They can also cause a lot of joint pain. The best Parasite killer is Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. I also take this.
I take 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon of F G D E, 5 weekdays and stop on weekends.I do this for 3 months. That lengh of time will kill the eggs that are hatching. After 3 month taking Borax along with F G D E I am almost certain you will be pain free. I continue Borax and if my joints get sore or ache I go back on F G D E. Make sure its Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth. All ranchers feed their livestock with it.You can feed all pets also.
Best of health cj

Bee Stings
There is a chap in this Country who, years ago, set up a business, firstly producing honey, then propolis (sp?) and latterly, bee venom.
He is able to extract the bee's venom and market it as a treatment for Arthritis I think.
I did not realize that a wasp's sting would also work for Arthritis.
Mind you, being stung by our Waikato wasp is no fun. They call it the German wasp in Europe. Not sure what they call it in Germany! We also have hornets and paper wasps plus many native wasps that are not "social wasps". Just FYI as they say.

Boron and DMSO
★★★★★
It also took away the severe headaches I started to get after the epidermal, another common side effect.
Again the DMSO and boron work better than the scripts. You can add anything else you like, including turmeric, which also helps quite a bit but don`t count on the recommended dose. You might have to up the amount according to your own needs, but all I can say is it works for me and better than any script I have been given.

Borax
It always amazes me that the modern, drug-dealing patent medicine scammers aren't strangled where they stand with their own stethoscopes - on a daily basis - it's a real testament to nurses. In a world where they are constantly surrounded by a society that allows saving lives to be against the law? Nurses are awesome.
Magnesium
★★★★★
A 2014 report by a practitioner of natural therapies suggests that it not be taken with meals, but an hour before or after.
Even though I eliminated my joint pain (i.e., neck, spine, elbow, knees, and one toe) for decades after I had been taking it right after a protein meal, I recently (in the last few days) started to feel some arthritis type of pain in my right hand. I thought maybe I better read the article. I don't remember when I got it...I had intended to read it...I just kept moving it aside, to do later when I had the time. Now is the time.
The article recommends mixing the powder in 1/2 glass of water, which I used to do, but because it hardened and seemed to "coat" the glass, I wondered if it could be doing that in my veins. I started mixing it in about 4-6 oz. of OJ, slightly warmed (30-45 sec. in microwave) and it seemed to dissolve better.
If anyone is interested in the article, here is the link: http://www.vdk.com.au/ select "Colon Cleanse" then "Read More". Scroll down past "Magnesium Oxide", then PASS "Learn more about Magnesium Oxide" and select Magnesium Oxide Information". It should take you right to the article.
I just tried my first dose with water again (I ate about four hours ago so I don't know if it will do any good), I just don't like the way it mixes with water. I will let you know if my hand improves...or even if it doesn't.
I'll have to confess that I had also stopped taking the mag powder everyday and alternated using the tabs instead because it was easier and I'm running low on my powder.
The mag powder is 400 mg. per 1/4 tsp. and the tabs are 250 mg. per tab. Gee, that's pretty obvious. Why didn't I think to look at that before? Maybe this will help someone in pain.
I've learned so much over the last two decades. I had switched to the powder because I had reactions to the binders and fillers in tabs (hidden MSG) Maybe that's why, although "NatureMade" was supposed to be tolerated well by people sensitive to MSG.
It's taken me over a couple hours to type this and I'll have to say the pain in my hand is not as bad as it was earlier. Thank you for allowing me to "process information" as I dealt with the pain.
New things are being discovered all the time...KT

Hi, I suffer from chronic arthritis in my knees, elbows, wrists lower back and all my other joints. I have been using Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda for 3 weeks and chicken cartilage in orange juice for 12days with absolutely no change in my condition. I am extremely disillusioned as I suffer excruciating pains in my knees, elbows and back. Where are all the people who spoke about these miracle treatments? The pains did not even recede. Are these scams or what. I was on methotrexate for4 weeks, took myself off as it made me Ill. Then I was rushed to hospital for a blood transfusion as it stripped all my blood. I was put onto cortisone which removed a lot of my pain but after weaning myself off after 7weeks the pains were back in full force. I am passionate about alternative medicine and was determined to try something natural. Hence, the rest is history. I was excited about this sight weeks ago but am lying here in extreme pain and have my doubts now!
I am now experimenting with Borax.. I'm in my 2nd week of 5 days on, 3 days off. I wet my fingertip and dip it into the Borax then swirl it around in my hot toddy of ACV and honey every evening. No luck yet.. Hence the Epsom Salts! Good luck.. and keep going! The answer's out there somewhere, I'm sure.
Turmeric
★★★★☆
I started taking turmeric for arthritis and got my mother who is 69 taking turmeric pills as well, 600 mg per day in one pill. If I run out of pills for longer than 4-5 days my knuckles start hurting and it's hard to bend my index finger. I make sure I don't run out any longer.
My mom has been faithful about taking the turmeric pills and just recently mentioned how she thinks it is helping with her Crohn's disease. She had emergency surgery in 1992 for an obstruction and they removed a large portion of small intestines and colon. It was due to Crohn's disease but they didn't diagnose it until after the surgery.
Since the surgery in 1992, my mom has narrowed down what foods bother her to eat. She cannot digest any kind of fat. Red meats, fried foods, nothing with fat digests and if she eats anything with fat she gets bad diarrhea sometimes all night long.
Since she has been taking the turmeric she has noticed that when she cheats and eats pizza or french fries (knowing full well what she will endure later after eating those fatty foods) she has found that she isn't bothered by the fat now and doesn't get the bad diarrhea.
She does take 2 different over the counter digestive enzyme pills with fattening meals to help digest the fat but she has always taken those pills. But now with taking the turmeric pills she can eat more of what she wants to eat without any of the consequences which is a blessing since she is so thin.
Hope this helps someone else. Reading this site has helped me and my family out tremendously. I encourage everyone to give feedback. You never know when it might help someone.
