RHEUMATISM (Pain)

This is a term for acute and chronic conditions characterized by inflammation, soreness and stiffness of muscles, and pain in joints and associated structures. It includes arthritis (infectious, rheumatoid, gouty); arthritis due to rheumatic fever or trauma; degenerative joint disease; neurogenic arthropathy; hydroarthrosis; myositis; bursitis; fibromyositis; and many other conditions.

The following herbs and minerals are recommended to combat further pain:

Copper keeps bones, blood vessels, and nerves healthy - and naturally, the immune system relies on these three to keep itself healthy.
Ginger regarded as a carminative (eliminates intestinal gas) and intestinal spasmolytic (soothes the intestinal tract).

Zinc is a key part of the thymulin molecule which enables the T-cells (body's defense against invaders) to mature. Zinc is depleted more quickly in the systems of smokers.
