Before we get there we gonna squeeze in one little section on exercise, OK?

  • Walk or swim for 5 or 10 minutes every day, gradually increasing the amount of time you exercise.
  • Do stretching exercises such as yoga for movement.
  • Wear well cushioned shoes to help reduce any stress on weight-bearing joints.


Old Home Remedies for Arthritis in the fingers

Rub Castor Oil onto your arthritic joints often during the day.

  • Castor Oil has been used for centuries by physicians and apothecaries for its powerful medicinal and curative powers.

  • When applied topically it is well known to help with back pain and arthritis.

  • When castor oil is rubbed into the skin, the oil is able to penetrate deeper than any other essential plant oil.

  • The main medicinal component of castor oil is Ricinoleic Acid which is analgesic, anti-inflammatory and also has antibacterial properties.

  • Camphor has both natural anti-inflammatory and anti-neuralgic properties.
  • Methylated spirits is a commercial grade disinfectant and it was probably only for this reason that it was added to this old home remedy for arthritis.
  • Rue has analgesic qualities.
