Lakota Arthritis Pain Relief

These days, people seem to be turning to more alternative or holistic approaches to healing, especially when it comes to arthritis. This has led to an increasing amount of herbal products found on store shelves. While there may not be a great deal of scientific evidence to support the merits of these products, many individuals have found relief from arthritis pain by subscribing to one or more of these herbal remedies. One company that has become popular is Lakota Herbs, which carries two products that are said to help treat arthritis.

Joint Care

• The primary product distributed by Lakota Herbs to treat arthritis is an herbal supplement called Lakota Joint Care. It's an oral capsule that contains a proprietary blend of natural ingredients, including one substance in particular that's become quite popular for arthritis: glucosamine. This supplement is believed to help repair, rebuild and strengthen cartilage, which should help reduce pain. Other herbs and extracts in the blend, such as boswellia, salix alba, yucca and devil's claw, are considered natural anti-inflammatory remedies, which can help relieve arthritis pain.

  To use Lakota Joint Care as part of your arthritis treatment, take four to six capsules each day with a meal until you begin to experience relief. After that, you should begin what the company calls its "maintenance plan," reducing your daily intake to two to four capsules. Feel free to take the capsules any time during the day or when you typically take any other medication or supplement.

Topical Pain Reliever

• Arthritis Topical Pain Reliever is another product distributed by Lakota. This product is considered a kind of adjunct care, as it isn't a "cure" or an actual treatment for arthritis but more of a temporary pain reliever when applied directly to the skin. It contains an extract known as capsaicin, a substance found in a number of effective topical pain relievers.

  To use Lakota Arthritis Topical Pain Reliever, apply the gel directly to those areas or joints that are currently experiencing pain. Let the solution set, anywhere from five to 30 minutes. For best results, the manufacturer recommends applying the product three to four times each day at the onset of the treatment and then reducing its usage to a single application once you are pain free.
