Causing tender, swollen, painful joints in elbows, knee, shoulders and more, bursitis affects your quality of life.
Causes and Symptoms of Bursitis
Bursitis is inflammation of one or more bursae, tiny fluid-filled sacs that give a smooth, slippery surface to reduce friction, especially near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Once the slick, gliding function of the bursae is lost, normal movement becomes painful. The gritty pain in the area is only worsened by movement.
There are three common causes of bursitis. One is repetitive movement or prolonged pressure, for example: a carpenter using a hammer for several hours each day may cause elbow bursitis; lengthy sitting on a hard surface may cause hip bursitis.
Another cause of bursitis is injury, such as a fall severe enough to have caused bruising and swelling in or around a joint. The third common cause is inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout, which increase the risk of bursitis.
The bursae in the joints can also become infected.
Treatment depends on the cause of the condition, but will normally be focused on relieving inflammation and treating any infection present.
How InfiniteAloe® Skin Care Can Help With Bursitis
InfiniteAloe Skin Care is not a treatment for Bursitis. It is a quality skin care beyond any moisturizer you've tried in the past. It is a way to care for your skin by providing it with hydrating aloe vera (organic Aloe Barbadensis Miller) as its primary ingredient, combined with effective plant essences and nutrients known to benefit the skin.
Aloe Vera has been studied extensively. In 2003, MIT announced that the study of the eight essential sugars was one of the ten technologies that would change the world. These long-chain sugars (polysaccharides) are not actually sweet and are abundant in Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbandensis Miller); trials suggest that they play an important role in immune function as well as maintaining and recovering good health.
Topical application of Aloe Vera is thought to ease pain by inhibiting a pain-producing chemical called bradykinin. Studies also suggest that Aloe Vera has strong antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiviral agents and that it speeds recovery by inhibiting the body's production of thromboxane, a chemical that delays healing.
A scientific review for the Department of Defense discussed the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities of Aloe Vera against a wide variety of ailments, from burns and frostbite injuries to arthritis. (See References)
Saponins such as contained in the Yucca extracts in InfiniteAloe® Skin Care are particularly helpful in pain relief. There are many reports that saponins elevate the body's production of cortisone, which can reduce soreness and swelling.
InfiniteAloe® Skin Care contains collagen, the main structural protein making up 70% of the body's connective tissue. Some European studies have shown collagen helps speed recovery from injuries. (See References)
How To Use InfiniteAloe® Skin Care When You Have Bursitis
- See your healthcare professional to diagnose the cause of the bursitis and whether you have an infection. The first step of bursitis treatment is generally to keep pressure off of the affected area and to limit your movement of that joint. Sometimes an elastic bandage or brace around the joint is recommended until the inflammation abates.
- Ice the affected joints to reduce the swelling.
- After washing with natural cleansers (no chemicals!) soothe your skin with InfiniteAloe® Skin Care, rubbing the affected joints with enough cream to cover the area completely.
- Rub the affected area until the cream has soaked in completely. Repeat as necessary. Allow 10 to 20 minutes for the cream to soak in fully before covering your skin with articles of clothing or other substances.
We have received a number of testimonials regarding the benefits of InfiniteAloe® Skin Care in soothing the painful joints of arthritic hands:
"This stuff really works! It has been a miracle. My heels were disgusting looking; cracked, bleeding and rough. I started putting this cream on Monday and by Wednesday, they looked almost like new! No cracks, no rough skin! I also have bursitis in my right shoulder from playing volleyball and tennis. I used to take anti - inflammatory pills everyday to move it. Since I have rubbed this skin cream on it, I can lift my arm above my head - WITHOUT PAIN!! HONEST!"
MC, Covington, Ohio, USA
"I stand a lot on my job and after 1/2 hour my knee would just kill me because I have arthritis in both knees. I started to use your skin cream on my knees before I would go to work, now I can stand for at least 4 1/2 to 5 hours before they start to hurt. It is great. I also used it on a terrible bruise and in six days it was gone."
