THE MOST SUCCESSFUL TEA DRINKS THAT WILL CURE YOUR KNEEL AND JOINT PAINS--2

5. PECTIN MIXED WITH GRAPE JUICE/LEMON JUICE

Pectin is a water soluble carbohydrate substance found in the cell walls of plants, where it helps keep cell walls together, and gives fruit firmness as it ripens. It is extracted from fruit to use as a setting in jams and jellies, and has become popular as a home remedy for arthritis when combined with grape juice. It has been tentatively hypothesized that it helps return the synovial tissue to a more elastic and lubricated state, which results in pain-free movement. Scientists have shown that a fragment released from pectin, found in all fruits and vegetables, binds to and is believed to inhibit galectin 3 (Gal3), a protein that plays a role in all stages of cancer progression. So basically, I am advising that you should spent time and money to eat more fruits and vegetables.

You will need…

-1 tablespoon of liquid pectin
-8 oz. of grape juice

Directions

Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid pectin with 8 oz. of grape juice and drink 1-2 times daily. It will take a week or two for the effects to show.

6.  CAYENNE CAPSAICINOIDS (Red Chili-Malaysia) contains a compound called capsaicin. Capsaicin is the ingredient that gives peppers their heat. Generally, the hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. In addition to adding heat to the pepper, capsaicin relieves pain.

Ointments made from capsaicin have been found to relieve the pain of arthritis when applied externally, and taken internally; capsaicin triggers the release of endorphins in the brain, which has a pain relieving effect similar to that of morphine. Capsaicin has also been found to provide effective pain relief without the numbing effect usually associated with anesthetics, and the inability in some cases, to operate machinery, along with the usual sedative effects some painkillers cause.

Researchers at Harvard University recently announced that they believe capsaicin can be used to target pain receptors, without affecting nerve cells and causing the side effects mentioned above.

7. FENNEL TEA

The phytonutrients present in fennel makes it a super spice having antioxidant properties. Anethole, which is the primary component of fennel’s volatile oil, helps in reducing inflammation. Vitamin C in it neutralizes free radicals which in turn prevents pain as well as deterioration of joints seen in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin C also helps in proper functioning of the immune system. Including this spice in your dishes can give you more health benefits that you can imagine. Make fennel tea yourself and enjoy its good taste while eliminating pain and swelling that you get from arthritis.

·         Take 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds and crush them in a mortar and pestle.

·         Heat a cup of water (don’t boil it).

·         Place the crushed fennel seeds in a cup and pour hot water over it.

·         Cover and steep for 10 minutes.

·         Have this aromatic tea. You don’t need any added sweetener as fennel seeds are naturally sweet (though only a little sweet).

You may have this tea twice or thrice a day.

8. DANDELION LEAVES TEA

Incredibly high in vitamins A and C, dandelion leaves can help repair damaged tissue and help the liver clear toxins out of the blood. Studies have shown anti-inflammatory properties due to the linoleic and linoleic acid in them. Linoleic is an essential fatty acid required by the body to produce prostaglandin-which basically regulates immune responses and suppresses inflammation. Because of its involvement with immune responses, dandelion shows great potential when it comes to treating rheumatoid arthritis in particular. You can enjoy dandelion leaves in nice salad, or brew tea with them.

You will need…

-3 teaspoons of fresh dandelion leaves, or 1 teaspoon of dried
-1 cup of boiling water
-A handful of fresh leaves (if making a salad)
-A dash of extra virgin olive oil (if making a salad)

Directions

For fresh dandelion tea, step 3 teaspoons of fresh leaves or 1 teaspoon dried in 1 cup of boiling water. Strain and drink twice daily. Dandelion tea is very bitter…you have been warned! You can add honey to sweeten it up if you’d like. To make a salad, simply toss the greens in with another recipe, or eat them plain with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Older leaves can be gently sautéed to soften them up a bit.

 

9. TURMERIC AND GINGER TEA:

Ginger root is one herb that can be called a super food. Many ancient medicine systems including Chinese, Indian and Arabic herbal medicines have used ginger to not only treat arthritis pain but also for many other medical conditions like diarrhea, nausea, colic, and heart conditions. In one of the studies conducted with 261 people having osteoarthritis in knee, the patients were given ginger extract twice daily and they reported less pain as well as needed fewer pain-killing medications. So, you can, without worry, add ginger to your daily menu. Use it for gravies, teas or chew it raw with some salt.

You will need:

·         Ginger Powder- 50 g

·         Fenugreek seeds powder- 50 g

·         Turmeric- 50 g

Directions:

·         Mix all the three ingredients- fenugreek, turmeric and ginger powder.

·         Store it in an airtight container.

·         Every morning and evening, take one tsp of this mixture. You can mix it with warm water and have it.

10. BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES DRINK

High in valuable minerals such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, blackstrap molasses has been a cherished home remedy for arthritis for a number of years. Blackstrap molasses is what remains after the 3rd boiling of sugar syrup, and is nothing like the nutrient lacking refined sugars used today. As a dietary supplement (easily consumed as a drink) blackstrap can help relieve symptoms of arthritis and joint pain, thanks to its vital constituents that regulate nerve and muscle function, and strengthen bones. Just two teaspoons of blackstrap molasses gives you 10% of your daily recommended allowance of iron, calcium, manganese, magnesium, copper, potassium and several other important nutrients and minerals. It is also an excellent source of selenium and Vitamin B6.
