Willow bark extract also had an impact on rheumatoid arthritis. Another study also gave subjects 240 mg of salicin. After six weeks, people taking the willow bark extract saw an 11% drop in knee pain.

Ways To Beat Knee Pain Naturally Part 1

There are a few things that could cause knee pain… Torn ligaments, osteoarthritis, and bursitis to name a few. Most doctors will be quick to prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug to ease your pain. Or they might convince you to settle for OTC painkillers. Problem is, they’re not real solutions. And long-term use can be dangerous. You can do better.

Here are five natural ways to help relieve knee pain.

1. Try Tai Chi: A study at Tufts University found this centuries-old Chinese practice worked better than any standard stretching exercises for severe knee osteoarthritis. Subjects did tai chi twice a week. Each session was just an hour long.

Researchers found their physical functioning and pain improved by threefold in only three months. Patients were able to walk 50 yards further without discomfort. That’s half a football field. As a bonus, they also saw improvements in mood and independence.

2. Add Cat’s Claw: This traditional folk medicine gets its name from its hook-like appearance. This vine grows in South and Central America. And research shows it’s a potent anti-inflammatory. It helps reduce tumor necrosis factor… A substance that causes inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.

One study found it to reduce joint inflammation and pain by over 50%. Another study saw improvement in osteoarthritis pain after just one week.

3. Use Ginger Extract: We’ve told you about this spice before… It can help reduce pain by 25%. That’s because it contains gingerol. This chemical fights cytokines that cause inflammation.

A study at The University of Denmark found daily use of ginger extract relieves arthritic pain in about three months. Another study found using it made standing more tolerable… Taking the extract helped participants reduce their knee pain by 13% compared to a placebo. They could also walk twice as long.
