Osteoarthritis Treatment

Custom Search

Osteoarthritis is commonly referred to as the aging disease.

An osteoarthritis treatment may be more effective if it includes raw, unpasteurized and unfiltered vinegar although, depending on who you talk to, you may get different reasons for this.

Dr D. C. Jarvis popularized the usage of vinegar in arthritis treatments because of its potassium content. He maintains that the potassium corrects a chemical imbalance which causes or aggravates osteo arthritis.

I have also heard that the acetic acid in vinegar stops deposits of calcium in joints and body tissues so the jury appears to be divided on the matter.

Whatever the reasoning, vinegar users do report pain relief.

What is Osteoarthritis?

This disease is the most common joint arthritis and typically affects the load bearing areas of your body such as your:

hip
feet
knees and
spine

If you are suffering from this disease you will probably see a loss in the articular cartilage of your joints. This cartilage serves two extremely important roles.

Most importantly is the smooth gliding surface it provides which allows the movement of one bone against the other without wearing down.
Secondly is its ability to spread the load so that stress on the joint is reduced.

(You may also notice new formation of bone and bony spurs known as osteophytes.)

Osteoarthritis develops when your joint wears down or becomes fatigued due to excessive loads or repetitive movements.

As you can probably guess from the above, no home remedy, vinegar or otherwise is going to cure you if you have this condition but …

People tell me that when used as part of a traditional treatment, vinegar helps to ease the pain.

Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.
