Arthritis is a condition that involves pain and inflammation in the joints. While there is no cure for arthritis, many ways exist to manage its symptoms. Some natural ways to ease arthritis pain include staying active, managing weight, and changing your diet¹. Heat and cold treatments can also help relieve arthritis pain and inflammation¹.

In addition to natural remedies, many medications can help manage arthritis symptoms. These medications include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) ².

Physical therapy can also help manage arthritis symptoms. A physical therapist can help you develop an exercise program tailored to your needs and abilities³.

If you’re looking for alternative therapies, acupuncture, massage therapy, CBD, and CGB oils may help relieve pain, stiffness, and swelling related to arthritis.

Some studies suggest that cannabidiol (CBD) oil could help relieve arthritis pain, improves sleep, and reduce anxiety¹.

Under the guidance of a medical professional, CBD may be helpful in temporarily relieving inflammation and pain associated with arthritis³. CBD should not be used as a substitute for disease-modifying treatments or lifestyle modifications recommended by a doctor⁴. Talking to your doctor about which treatments are right for you is important. They can help you develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and abilities.
