Well for years I have been telling people to use Turmeric . Although I use Turmeric heavily at times I never had an ailment where I could see it work on .  Well after the Chik V virus in October , my joints were still bothering me. I am too young for arthritis so I needed to deal with it .  So I made turmeric tea and steamed cabbage with turmeric and coconut oil.  The pain that I was experiencing for at least 10 weeks subsided , but the next day it started again. So last week I incorporated Turmeric in everything and the pain is gone. I use it everyday.  The reason it took me so long to use turmeric , is because all of a sudden I couldn't find it in the supermarket I had to go to a healthfood store.   So I don't know if this will help with anyone suffering with joint and arthritic pain but its worth a try.

If you are suffering from joint pain like I am at present here are some herbs you should try.  Since I was hit with the Chikungunya Virus last month I have been having issues with my joints . Apparently this is to be expected. Since this is inflammation , I am attacking it with  herbs .  So I have been drinking turmeric tea and cooking with turmeric also drinking and cooking with ginger .  I have also upped my garlic intake as well as drinking Bissy Tea and rosemary tea and cinnamon tea. So I will keep you posted.  What I am dealing with may help people who are dealing with chronic arthritis pain .

I am so sorry I haven't posted anything. I was a victim of the dreaded Chikungunya Virus and it was bloody awful.  I was on 3000 mg of Vitamin C every day and herbs nothing helped maybe they did with the duration.  The pain is horrible and I think I have a minor feeling what it must feel like for people who suffer from chronic joint pain.  Even after the pain subsided I developed this horrible sore throat for 10 days.  I am curious about this virus I am trying to find the long term effects, just interesting how it just popped up out of nowhere. Anyway I am doing some research so look out for new posts.
