Reactive Arthritis Treatment

1. Soak Feet In Epsom Salt Water.

Epsom salt relaxes the muscles. So, add a cup of this healing salt to a tub of water. Soak yourself in the water for about 20 minutes. Do this thrice every week. It’s a sure-shot reactive arthritis treatment.

2. Try Aloe Vera & Grapeseed Oil.

Allergies lead to rashes on the skin. Aloe vera as well as grapeseed oil moisturize and reduce the inflammation. So, take a tablespoon of aloe vera gel and mix a few drops of the oil in it. Blend well and apply on the rashes to treat reiter’s disease.

3. Use Turmeric For Reiter’s Disease.

Since turmeric contains curcumin which has anti-inflammatory properties, it reduces the reactive arthritis pain. Therefore, add a pinch of turmeric to a cup of water and drink it. Do it every morning. Avoid it, however, with blood thinning medicines.

4. Massage With Sesame Oil.

Sesame is beneficial for the bones as well as muscles. So, take a teaspoon of sesame oil and mix it in a teaspoon of coconut oil. Massage the affected areas for 10 minutes as an effective reactive arthritis treatment.

5. Uva Ursi Treats Infections.

Uva ursi is antimicrobial in nature which helps treat the reiter’s syndrome symptoms. Therefore, boil a teaspoon of uva ursi in a cup of water. Steep the tea for 5 minutes. Strain and drink warm.

6. Gingko Biloba Is Best For The Eyes.

Gingko Biloba is an Ayurvedic herb that increases blood flow towards the eyes – thus preventing the reactive arthritis symptoms. Therefore, take 500mg of gingko powder with water every day to ease the discomforts.

7. Licorice Root Tea Soothes The Pain.

Licorice root has anti-inflammatory as well as analgesic properties. It helps in overcoming the reactive arthritis pain. Therefore, boil a teaspoon of licorice root powder in a cup of water for 10 minutes. Strain the tea and drink twice daily.
