Willowbark: Willowbark that contains salicin has been used to treat many different kinds of pain. Willow bark is a traditional analgesic (pain relieving) therapy for osteoarthritis. Several studied have confirmed this finding. Additional study comparing willow bark to conventional medicinal agents for safety and effectiveness is warranted.

Avoid if allergic/hypersensitive to aspirin, willow bark (Salix spp.), or any of its constituents, including salicylates. Use cautiously with gastrointestinal problems (e.g. ulcers), liver disorders, diabetes, gout (foot inflammation), high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Use cautiously with a history of allergy, asthma, or leukemia. Use cautiously if taking protein-bound medications, antihyperlipidemia agents, alcohol, leukemia medications, beta-blockers, diuretics, phenytoin (Dilantin), probenecid, spironolactone, sulfonylureas, valproic acid, or methotrexate. Use cautiously if pre-disposed to headaches. Use cautiously in tannin-containing herbs or supplements. Avoid operating heavy machinery. Avoid in children with chickenpox and any other viral infections. Avoid with blood and renal disorders. Avoid if taking other NSAIDs, acetazolamide, or other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Avoid with elevated serum cadmium levels. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Kath Malone I take Glucosamine daily and it seems to have prevented my knees from worsening. I also get less pain in them. However, I am suffering with arthritis in the hands and wrrist now and the glucosamine does not seem to help this.

Annette Snow This is very good for swollen, stinging , burning symptoms . Especially in your feet. Also swollen feet ( acts as diuretic)
It also gets rid of gout or pseudo gout where small crystals form in your blood or joins causing pain. Less expensive then cherry juice and acts similarly on your system. I pick my own and make a tea (wear gloves).
