RA causes symptoms to manifest all over the body. It is an autoimmune condition that develops when the body's defences erroneously target healthy joint tissue. In addition to prescribing medications to treat arthritic pain, doctors frequently suggest using natural methods as well. 

A few all-natural approaches to relieve arthritis pain include maintaining an active lifestyle, controlling your weight, and altering your diet. Alternative treatments that increase flexibility or reduce stiffness and swelling may also be beneficial. Continue reading as we share home remedies for relief.

To reduce arthritis-related pain and inflammation, the paste can be administered to the joints. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can benefit from this treatment.

4. Aloe vera

Aloe vera has long been used as a remedy for arthritis. Since arthritis is an inflammatory condition, aloe vera is known to lessen inflammation. Aloe vera can help prevent gastrointestinal issues that other anti-inflammatory treatments, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can bring on when taken orally.

5. Probiotic foods

Having a healthy gut is one of the most crucial things you can do to control inflammatory arthritis. You need a large and diversified gut microbiome, which means you should have a lot of good bacteria that can shield your body. By including more probiotic, cultured foods like yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough, and kombucha in your diet, you can boost the amount of healthy bacteria in your body.

These home remedies can help reduce inflammation and might also help reduce pain and stiffness caused in the joints due to arthritis. Finally, before attempting any treatment for arthritis, whether it involves medication or not, see your doctor.
