SUPERIOR SALVE

No one knows what causes most forms of arthritis, but a lifetime of using and abusing joints can contribute to deterioration, swelling and pain. Among the more than 100 diseases that we call arthritis there’s one common thread, that is joint pain and inflammation.

Arthritis, worn-down cartilage and connective tissue cause bones to rub together and cause chronic pain. It is the number one chronic health problem afflicting nearly one in six Americans. Depending on the type of arthritis, signs and symptoms may include pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, decreased range of motion.  As mentioned, there are more than 100 different forms of arthritis and related diseases. The most common types include osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), fibromyalgia and gout. Arthritis and related diseases can cause debilitating, life-changing pain in different ways. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of the adults who have arthritis report that it limits their leisure activities and work and 25% of them say it causes severe pain.

Treatment usually zeros in on relieving the day-to-day aches and stiffness with a combination of medication, rest, exercise, and the use of heat and cold. There are plants that offer simple pain relief, as a matter of fact the main ingredient in the Superior Salve is comfrey, it can help serve as a powerful pain reliever and anti-inflammatory.

In fact, the combination of herbs in Superior Salve will begin to repair tissue, ligaments and cartilage. You will even notice that your nerve and bone pain is diminishing.

Comfrey is clinically proven to relieve pain, inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints in the case of degenerative arthritis, acute myalgia in the back, sprains, contusions and strains after sports injuries and accidents. May be used on children aged 3 years and older.

Available scientific evidence seems to suggest in multiple studies that comfrey application improves the healing and pain response of bruises, sprains and painful muscles and joints, particularly related to exercise. Superior Salve can be used for ankle sprains and lower back pain relief.

Because of the possible side effects involved with most medications for arthritis, such as heartburn, stomach ulcers, increased risk of heart attack or stroke, cataracts, bone loss and more, many people seek alternative remedies for relieving their pain in a safe way.

Try Superior Salve with its many pain relieving botanicals. Be sure to wash your hands after you use the salve to avoid “burning” other parts of your body since cayenne pepper is used as a transporter to get healing deep into the tissue.
