If you suffer from arthritis, you know how desperate you can get for relief. You may feel you have nothing to lose by trying an alleged cure. After all, your own doctor may not be able to offer much relief, and what medicines there are — primarily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids — have limited benefits and may cause some unpleasant side effects, as well.
Arthritis is unpredictable, with natural flare-ups and remissions. This, of course, makes it very difficult for patients to know for sure if any improvement is the result of a specific treatment or just a normal remission. Arthritis is a natural for the placebo effect, when the patient’s expectation that a treatment will work can actually result in improvement.
I have read about raisins soaked in gin for arthritis pain, but have hesitated because of the gin. Recently I just learned about another remedy that sounds interesting. It seemed to work so well for the person who shared this remedy, that I thought you might like to read about it as well.
Mix about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a cup of hot water, then add 2 tablespoons of honey to it. Once it is cool enough, drink it. Do this daily for 2 weeks.
After I tried this, I was able to wear regular shoes comfortably for the first time in months. Before, I was limited to backless shoes. My ankle has not felt this good in over a year!
I never heard of this approach before, but hey, it may be worth a shot… honey and cinnamon are not anything to cause any health concerns in my opinion.
