Hello my name is Dr. Susan Jewell and I am going to talk to you on behalf of expert village today, about the subject of osteoarthritis. Now in this clip I am going to mention briefly ways to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis. Some of the other methods of reducing the pain is its been found that ginger, eating ginger in your diet actually would help with the pain because ginger has properties to decrease pain and also is anti-inflammatory, now ginger can be readily available as cloves of ginger that is raw that you can peel dice and mash up and put it in your cooking or you can buy ginger powder or ginger slices specifically if you go to sushi restaurants you see these pickled ginger which is very good to eat, so ginger is a good source also hot chili peppers and hot chili sauce because chili peppers has this compound capsaicin which is anti inflammatory also helps reduce the pain, so eating a lot of chili and hot peppers are really good for arthritis but its not good if you have ulcers so watch your intake if you have ulcers, so you have to always consider the risks and benefits when you eat something or not eat something Hot showers, of course nice warm hot showers because when you come out your body is relaxed all your muscles are relaxed that will also will help the pain of arthritis the stiffness and also the just relaxing of the muscle having to distress. Spa's you can get home kits where you can get facial spas you could do foot spas you know to release pain if you have in your ankles which is very good, if you have money and if you want to spoil yourself you can go to a spa place and have somebody pamper you and my recommendation and most medical profession is rest, rest is always very good, good sleep good quality rest and that would also help deal with the signs and symptoms of arthritis particularly the pain from arthritis.
