Rawleigh Offers Potential Home Remedy for Arthritis

Arthritis comes in many forms but is one of the most common causes of pain, especially as we get older. Although different causes can bring about this pain, it is always centered on the joints causing not only discomfort but also tightness, limited range of movement, and sometimes swelling. Over-the-counter pain medications do not reduce usually help these problems - they only temporarily block the pain. Some sufferers have started to search for a more effective home remedy for arthritis. A remedy from Rawleigh may have some potential to offer some relief to these sufferers.

The product from Rawleigh includes an assortment of ingredients which have been used for hundreds of years in traditional folk medicine but which have been largely ignored by Western medicine. When combined in a single topical ointment, these ingredients may be able to work as a home remedy for arthritis.

For example, oil of wintergreen (also known as methyl salicylate) is commonly used to treat muscle aches and pains. It is believed to work in much the same way as capsaicin, the ingredient that gives cayenne peppers their spice. The oil of wintergreen causes the capillaries to widen so more blood flow can reach the sore area thus allowing healing to begin. This ingredient is one of the main items included in the Rawleigh product.

Another ingredient that may give this product potential as a home remedy for arthritis is clove oil. While wintergreen oil helps healing and reduces inflammation around the joints, clove oil can reduce pain. This oil's analgesic properties have been harnessed by the dentistry field for hundreds of years. The oil can be applied topically to gums to relieve pain quickly. When used as part of a topically to treat arthritis, oil of cloves can also provide temporary pain relief.

Besides these ingredients, the Rawleigh product also contains peppermint oil which is sometimes referred to as the oldest medicine in the world because it has been so commonly used for so long and cajuput oil which is used to treat sore muscles in much the same way as wintergreen oil. The combination of all these ingredients may prove effective as a home remedy for arthritis.

While over-the-counter oral analgesics can provide some relief from the joint pain caused by arthritis, combining their effects with a reliable topical treatment may provide greater relief for sufferers. Plus, there are fewer side effects to worry about.
