Arthritis Hands

Arthritis Hands is the inflammation or irritation of the joints in the hand and is usually accompanied by tenderness to the touch and painful movement.  Sometimes referred to as Rheumatoid Arthritis Hands as it is a common form of rheumatory arthritis. We will experience arthritis joint pain in our hand when we flex or straighten it (or accidentally roll over on it when we’re sleeping).  As we age (particularly 40+), our tissues and bodily structures (especially joints) tend to repair themselves at a slower level and depending on our lifestyle and diet, may not repair themselves adequately – the result is a type of arthritis and in this case Arthritis Hand Joint Pain.  This can make simple tasks like opening a jar or turning a doorknob rather difficult as one wrong touch can send pain shooting up to our brains, and then we’re left with a red throbbing thumb.  The natural tendency is to place it in the mouth as the pressure and wetness feel good to it immediately after an injury.  Or course, this is not always practical, unless you’re in preschool!

Arthritis hands is believed to be caused by performing excessive repetitive type movements, particularly when bending or straightening the joints in the hand but is most commonly associated with injury or inflammatory conditions in the body.  It can be a crushing injury like slamming a door on it or from hitting it against a hard object straight on.

There are a lot of natural arthritis remedies and arthritis supplements that can really help you recover quickly and fully.

The Best Natural Arthritis Treatment for Arthritis Hands:

• Evaluate when you first notice it, and if you are using a repetitive motion, try to adjust the angle or your activity, or stop, rest and massage the affected thumb.
• Incorporate some joint friendly arthritis exercises (like tai-chi, qi-gong or yoga)
• Begin incorporating an anti-inflammatory arthritis diet, and cut back on the items that cause inflammation and pain
• Include Omega-3 oils (preferably from flax or plant sources, as animal sources are highly acidic)
• Add warming spices (anti-inflammatory) to your meals if you enjoy them (curry, tumeric, ginger, garlic, cayenne)
• Drink plenty of fluids (this will help hydrate the joint, and keep it operating smoothly)
• Get a good magnetic wrap or brace (the highest gauss possible – around 800 or more and neodymium type) and keep the hand immobilized
• Alternate between hot and cold packs on the joint.  About 10 minutes each, cycle a few times between hot and cold
• Take arthritis supplements (glucosamine, Hyaluronic acid, SAM-e, Boswellin)
• Try some homeopathic cures as well
• Lower your overall stress level (watch a comedy or even sing around the house, it really does work)

This will most definitely give you some great arthritis help and get you on your road to complete and lasting recovery from Arthritis Hands.  Start where you are at, there is no race.  Sometimes the slower the better, because you will not be in a stressful state, adding more pressure to do things quickly.  Go at your own body’s pace and you will be helping others, because they will be asking what it is that you did to recover.

A key to experiencing a full recovery from arthritis hands begins with giving your body the nutrition and supplementation it needs to protect your joints from the inside out. For arthritis in the hands in particular, I recommend taking JointKote to protect and rebuild your joint socket, and using a capsaicin cream (which you massage into the affected hand joints) to bring immediate pain relief to the aching joints, and also draw the joint relief ingredients directly to the joints of the hand for repair and inflammation reduction.
