Arthritis. A natural remedy with stinging nettle leaves

Submitted by Eric

For permanent relief from swollen, painful joints, rub the affected parts with stinging nettle leaves. This might seem painful when you do it, but no more so than that caused by the arthritis.

I was gardening and keen to pull out some weeds but didn't notice what I was kneeling on. The nettles were in contct with my skin (through thin trousers) for 3 or 4 minutes. That afternoon my knee was showing the effects of lots of stings but that evening I was able to walk up stairs much more easily than I have done for several years! I will be stinging the other knee next week and look forward to it!
