MSM and DMSO

MSM sulfur (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane sulfur) and DMSO are excellent anti-inflammatory agents for the body. MSM is a metabolite of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide ). MSM is a substance that also occurs naturally in our body. Your brains, muscles, bones and skin all contain MSM sulfur. MSM improves blood flow and thus the removal of waste. But it is especially good at reducing inflammation in the body. That is why it works very well in slowing osteoarthritis processes. DMSO also has a very similar effect to MSM sulfur, even more powerful. DMSO is a liquid medium which is to be diluted with water. The disadvantage of DMSO is that it has a garlic taste and smells ridiculous.

Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) is a well known herb in the alternative medicine. Consuming them has all kinds of health benefits. Besides the anti- inflammatory properties, it helps to improve the immune system. It contributes to the reduction of diabetes, and it has anti-cancer properties. Every day at least 1 gram of turmeric can provide obvious pain reduction and a relief to inflammatory diseases, for example arthritis.

Boswellia

Boswellia serrata has been used for centuries in traditional medicine in India, the Middle East and North Africa. Its operation is based on the inhibition of the inflammatory process via the so-called leukotrienes inhibition. Leukotrienes in the body take care of the triggering and maintenance of inflammatory processes. Boswelliazuren inhibit the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase which plays a key role in the production of leukotrienes. Its operation is also similar to that of aspirin. Boswellia acts as a COX-1 inhibitor.

Yucca

Yucca also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It can also help against the stiffness in joints.

Devil's Claw

Devil’s claw is a herb that relieves pain and inflammation. It can be used for rheumatism, arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis, among others. Because it has a dehydrating effect it allows faster removal of waste and is therefore also suitable for treating gout.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a component of cartilage. It can also be seen in other parts of the body such as in the eyes and in the muscles and tendons. As you get older your body creates less hyaluronic acid.

It provides extra joint fluid (synovial fluid) between the joints and is therefore analgesic. Indeed, the joints does not sand over each other because there is a protective fluid between. In addition, hyaluronic acid is also an anti-inflammatory.

Phytodolor
