Ease Arthritis Pain Without Drugs

Choosing a more natural remedy for arthritis will allow the body a better opportunity for sustained pain relief. Miracle Rub, from Earth Labs, not only helps relieve the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, but provides almost the exact opposite effect of an non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The herbs and oils in Miracle Rub actually support tissue repair and help add beneficial elements for restructuring to the extracellular matrix content.

            Although a quick fix for the discomfort of arthritis, NSAIDS like aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen can actually compound factors that contribute to pain. These medications work by limiting the release of certain chemicals in the body like prostaglandins, which promote pain and inflammation. NSAID use also limits proteoglycan and extracellular matrix content. Ultimately, these over-the-counter meds inhibit the body’s repair processes and lead to articular cartilage breakdown over time.
