Printer friendly pageI have trouble bending my knees due to osteoarthritis, is there anything I can do?
Ginger's anti-inflammatory properties have been recognised for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a remedy to aid arthritis that is aggravated by cold and damp conditions. Results of a recent clinical study carried out by a leading rheumatologist, Professor Altman have just confirmed that a new ginger-based supplement Zinaxin showed a statistically significant decrease in pain and discomfort of osteoarthritis of the knee for individuals taking this supplement, in comparison to those taking placebo. The clinical trials indicate a pronounced beneficial effect in two out of three trial patients (order and helpline 0207 328 9797). Ginger can be used both internally and externally. Drink fresh ginger tea and add ginger to your bath – simply grate 15g of fresh ginger, wrap in a piece of muslin and drop in your bath. Alternatively, Origins Ginger Salts™ contains the warming essential oil of ginger in a base of Dead Sea salts (stockist 0800 731 4039).
