Home remedy for arthritis

Do you know how common is arthritic pain?

Talk about knee pain,foot pain,back pain, shoulder pain,foot pain ,hip pain, hand pain and so on.

We all are familiar with NSAIDs,steroids,aspercreme,and braces.

I am going to talk about few non toxic or harmless food cures ,raisins soaked in Gin or apple cider vinegar,and curcumin,the natural anti inflammatory.

Today is the day of Raisins.

I read this from people's pharmacy info.Peoples pharmacy.com.Pharmacist Joe Graedon writes that eating 9 golden raisins a day soaked in gin or apple cider vinegar has helped lot of his patients.

Making the raisinsin gin is easy.

Take hand ful of golden raisins,not the brown raisins.these golden raisins in the box will say so2 added to preserve freshness.

Put these raisins in a bowl.and add good quality gin until raisins are submerged.

Cover the dish witha towel or cheese cloth so that alcohol can evaporate as raisins absorb the liquid.

When the liquid is no longer visible, after about 5 days store the raisins in a closed jar at room temperature.

The reason for this effect is the golden raisins are dried mechanically.

Sulfur dioxide gas is used during this process to prevent oxidation and caramelization.

Ethanol alcohol has been used as a solvent In lot of herbal preps.

Why is gin used and not vodka or brandy?

Distilled Gin is made with juniper berries which have anti inflammatory properties.

Do not use cheap brands with synthetic flavorings.

People allergic to sulpha can not use this remedy.

More is coming on Curcumin in the next blog.
