There are a lot of anti inflammatory products on the market today. Unfortunately, many that you find over the counter are not very good for other parts of your body. For those with kidney or liver problems, an anti inflammatory can be outright harmful. For those in good general health, over use of these products can cause minor damage. Fortunately, there are many natural products that are very good at reducing swelling.
Bosweilla is an herb that is excellent at reducing joint inflammation associated with arthritis. A recommended dosage of 400 mg per day for arthritis is known to help reduce the discomfort associated with the disease. The origination of Bosweilla is in Africa. It has also been found in China as well as the Middle East. This herb works by blocking the inflammatory chemicals that are present in such diseases as osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis and other auto immune diseases. It acts in a similar way as NSAIDS, although it does not block the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), important in keeping the lining of the stomach healthy. It does block cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which is a chemical that causes inflammation. To be effective the Bosweilla should have at least 30% concentration of AKBA. This may take a bit of research to find.
Another supplement that all people should take, especially those affected by inflammation is Omega 3 fatty acids. There are a variety of Omega 3 products on the market. Searching out purified Omegas that do not have high levels of PCBs in them is very important. A bit of research on the internet can reveal which companies are steadfast in keeping their fish oils PCB free. The Omega 3s are a very necessary part of any diet, and are especially helpful in controlling inflammatory issues.
Curcumin is found in the root of turmeric. It has a long standing reputation of being used to treat stomach problems, chronic fatigue and arthritis. Recently, studies have shown that curcumin is also excellent as an anti-oxidant. Anti-oxidants are known to attack free radicals in the body. Free radicals are what causes pain and illness in the body.
Because inflammation happens for a variety of reasons in the body, such as infections, injury, or a minor irritation or even a bug bite, choosing the correct herbal remedy is important. Not every herb that "fights inflammation" is going to be best for every type of swelling. Turmeric is good for arthritis and tendonitis. Bosweilla will dramatically help those who suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms. Other herbs, such as Arnica are great for reducing swelling found in bruises, or tooth and gum issues. White Willow Bark is an excellent headache remedy that many find great relief with.
So why all the fuss about using natural remedies instead of the over the counter stuff like ibuprofen? Let's look at some of the side effects of these man-made products. Motrin is one of the most common anti-inflammatories on the market. Some of the side effects from this drug include cramping, gas and bloating. Those are quite common. That does not sound like something someone would want to experience if there was already inflammation and pain associated with that. Some of the more severe side effects include abdominal bleeding and ulcers in the gums and even depression or congestive heart failure. While these are more rare than the others, they are concerning, especially if someone is taking large amounts of ibuprofen for chronic pain.
It should also be noted that when taking Motrin or similar products, that the use of other products for swelling is absolutely not a good idea. The warning labels also state that people with kidney or liver issues should not take the Motrin. Diabetics should be aware of the sugar content in the ibuprofen products as well. With all of these warnings, side effects and cautions one has to consider if it is worth taking at all. Especially when there are some great natural remedies out there that are effective and don't have all the side effects.
With auto immune disorders on the rise, so is the use of anti inflammatory medication. There are so many possible side effects from over the counter products that one must consider the options. Natural health remedies such as Bosweilla and Omega 3 fatty acids and even the spice turmeric have no side effects, but have big benefits to the whole body. Fighting free radicals and bringing down inflammation is what will help bring the body back into balance. This is best done with quality anti-inflammatory supplements that are natural.
