Healing Pain from the Inside Out

Joint pain can often start as something you brush off and work through until it escalates into unbearable pain that cannot be ignored. What may have once been something you experience for a short period of time after waking up in the morning has now become the centre of your day. The simplest thing, like walking, becomes strenuous. Joint pain can be due to many different things, including age, intense exercise, and, commonly, arthritis.

The root cause of joint pain is inflammation of the joints. When you experience joint pain that persists and isn’t due to an acute injury, there is a larger problem causing the pain. Several causes of inflammatory joint pain could be:

• Muscle weakness → when muscles are weak, it puts more pressure on the joints
• Bone erosions → Damage on the surface of your bones that may cause pain
• Synovitis → The thin membrane that lines the joints becomes inflamed, which releases chemicals that irritate the nerves and increase fluid in the joints
• Swollen joint capsule → fluid builds in the join from an inflamed synovium which causes pressure, stiffness, and pain
• Ligament damage → inflammation can impact ligaments that support the joint, causing pain

There are many natural ways to reduce joint pain. Several suggestions are lifestyle changes, including managing weight, following a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise. Several natural products have been identified as beneficial in reducing joint pain, including Boswellia extract (herbal extract), pycnogenol (compound from pine tree bark), methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and curcumin (turmeric).

Turmeric has been long used in herbal medicine as an anti-inflammatory and has been proven through scientific research. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is a curcuminoid extract. This compound is primarily used as a cooking spice but is also used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Several studies have demonstrated that supplementing with turmeric reduces markers of inflammation within the body, which then means that inflammation is decreased!
