Let's first have an overview about Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). RA is one of the common dilemmas of old age worldwide. It is a progressive degeneration of the joints and cartilages of the bones. It could cause an inflammation, swelling and even friction among the bones that would result into irreversible damage. The most common symptom is "arthritis pain". It can be felt in the affected areas like the most movable joints in the body. It can be joint pain in knees, in the neck, shoulders and hips, in the knees or even the hands. Other symptoms of arthritis aside from pain are body fatigue, body malaise, flu-like symptoms, fever and infection.

Since until today, there is no primary treatment for reversing Rheumatoid Arthritis, the interventions are focused on alleviating the symptoms especially arthritis pain. Drugs used for RA are anti-inflammatory drugs (like NSAIDs and corticosteroids), pain relievers (analgesics, paracetamol, ibuprofen, and anesthetics) and antibiotics if there is an infection involved. Infection can be obtained if there is damaged or cut which can harbor bad bacteria.

Most people with RA often choose to take natural joint pain remedy as an alternative for the prescribed drugs. They believe that these are much cheaper and affordable and with lesser side effects even if used for a long time. It is because most of these supplements are made from natural ingredients which are really good for our body. It's like eating herbs and extracts for general health.

Choosing a good natural joint pain remedy can be hard. You can ask your doctor, some experts, professionals and even your friend for some advice about brands. You can also make some list for the top ingredients and find them on the brands you want to buy. Don't be careless in choosing brands. Know each brand, and their unique advantages or their trademarks. With these, you can choose a good remedy which can be suited for you.
