Alleviating Arthritis Pain

Q: Dear Wise Woman:

Can you suggest any teas or tinctures for relief from arthritis pain?

Thanks.

 

A: It is possible that regular nourishing infusions can help alleviate arthritis.  Nettle leaf especially, or Oatstraw if related to lack of quality sleep.  A top herb for arthritis I have heard is Poke.  You can read in "Poke-ing Around in the Garden":

In Appalachian folk medicine, the berries are swallowed as a treatment for arthritis and for immune stimulation -- one berry (either fresh or dried) is the equivalent of one drop of root tincture.

We are all unique so our solutions would be so.  I am happy to talk with your further if you wish.
