Herbs to Fight Arthritis Pain 3

Cat’s claw is another anti-inflammatory herb that may reduce swelling
in arthritis. This herb is from
a tropical vine, and its usage dates back to Inca civilizations.
Traditionally, cat’s claw is used to boost your immune system. In recent
years, the immunity powers of the herb have been tried in arthritis.
The downside is that cat’s claw may overstimulate the immune system,
potentially making arthritis pain worse. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center
(UMMC), studies have shown that cat’s claw can help with osteoarthritis
pain and RA swelling. However, there’s no proof that this herb can
prevent further joint damage.
