Inflammation in joints makes them tender and puffy and normal movement can be an ordeal. The pain is usually localized and it may feel as though there is sand or grit in the joints.
There are various possible causes for inflammation-repetitive movement or pressure for a prolonged time, such as a tennis player developing 'tennis elbow.' Traumatic injury, such as a fall may cause swelling around a joint, as well as an underlying inflammatory condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout.
Treatment depends on the cause of the condition, but will normally be focused on relieving inflammation and treating any infection present.
How Aloe Vera, Yucca Extract and Collagen Can Help
There are several ingredients in InfiniteAloe® Skin Care that are known to address pain and inflammation. 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 Barbadensis 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 also 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.
How To Use InfiniteAloe® Skin Care When You Have Inflamed Joints
- See your healthcare professional to determine the cause of the inflamed joints and whether you have an infection. Treatment will depend on the cause, but generally, it is a good idea to rest and limit your movement of the painful joints. Sometimes an elastic bandage or brace around the joints is recommended until the inflammation is reduced.
- Ice the affected joints to decrease 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 real stories regarding the benefits of InfiniteAloe® Skin Care in soothing painful, inflamed joints:
"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."
