Many things influence joint health: posture, body weight, types of activities, bone density, heredity, diet, the amounts of fluids taken in, the health of the digestive system, and the degree of the body's toxic burden. All of these factors must be considered and possibly addressed to relieve joint pain.

The liver produces substances that stimulate the production of cartilage cells, the degeneration of which is known as osteoarthritis.   If the liver is congested, it has a difficult time accomplishing this, as well as its many other functions.

Liver cleansing herbs such as those in the Alterative tea , as well as the Castor Oil pack can be used to restore healthy function of the digestive tract and liver, which in turn affects the joints, increasing mobility and decreasing pain.  

In my Naturopathic practice, I frequently see joint pains go away following dietary changes that reduce inflammation and support the liver.

Recommended Remedies:
Alterative Tea
Castor Oil Pack
Liver Cleansing/Detoxification
