Natural Pain Relief For Arthritis
Start with examining your diet:
Drink plenty of water. The recommendation is at least 8 glasses of water a day - you may need to gradually work up to this level. Drink your water "neat" rather than turned into tea or coffee. If you find the taste too bland, add a slice of unwaxed lemon or lime. Green tea is also OK but don't make it the only way that you drink water.
Eat "close to the ground" by using as few processed foods as possible. The more natural your diet, the better.
This means eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Do your best to eat these "in season" and if you have a local farmers market or similar, buy your fruit and vegetables there rather than at the grocery store. They'll be fresher and you'll also help the environment as they won't have traveled as far.
Reduce the amount of salt, sugar and fat in your diet. If you buy ready prepared foods, you'll need to check the label to find out the different values. But it could be time to rediscover the art of cooking so that you are totally in control of what goes into your food.
Experiment with dropping other items from your diet. Take a break from each item for 4 days and see whether or not your arthritis pain is relieved. Do this in "blocks" of food - all dairy products, for instance - or find a local person who does food allergy testing to speed up the process.
If you're worried about the effect of removing foods from your diet, consider taking a multi vitamin pill on a daily basis to make sure that you've got plenty of vitamins and minerals in your diet.
Consider taking a daily probiotic - these help the "good bacteria" in your stomach and aren't just made up by advertising executives.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain Relief
OK, pain killers help with rheumatoid arthritis pain relief but what do you do if you don't want to take so many pills?Hypnosis can be an effective method of reducing your arthritis pain. Simply listen to the relaxing hypnosis track and let your mind do the rest of the work.
Arthritis pain relief creams can give topical relief quickly to an affected area. It's probably worth trying a few different ones and then keeping your own stock in case of emergency.
Then get hold of a book that discusses how you can become free from arthritis using natural methods with no over-the-counter drugs and no prescriptions.

More About Arthritis on Wikipedia
Arthritis (from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation; plural: arthritides) is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body.
There are different forms of arthritis and each has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. There is also an uncommon form of gout caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This gout is known as pseudogout.

I read a few very interesting articles about arthritis at Total Health Remedies - Arthritis. My mother has an arthritis problem and she does not know much about the ins and outs of it. So I suggested the above website. Her problem seems to be getting better. I guess that knowing about what may be ailing you is half the battle!
