Natural Anti-Inflammatory Enzymes

I have been so busy lately, running non-stop & burning the mid-night oil, I haven't had a chance to update with posts, which I am now trying to catch up on.  But I HAD to share my recent experimental trial with a wonderful natural product that was emphatically recommended by a fellow inflammation suffering family friend: WOBENZYME.

Enduring chronic low back pain for a greater part of my life, I have tried every kind of anti-inflammatory NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) that the FDA approved and later either withdrew from the market or reported caused a myriad of adverse side-effects.  Due to my growing concern with the problems artificial chemicals can create, I began a unsuccessful search for natural remedies to help reduce pain and inflammation. 

For the past several months I have dealt with completely unexplained and undiagnosed pain radiating through my shoulders, hips, chest and underneath my buttocks. 

After getting completely confused using a trial and error method of natural supplements and dietary changes and feeling many times like giving up, Wobenzyme is the only supplement thus far that has provided any sort of consistent relief, albeit small. 

After a week and a half of taking this supplement, I noticed I was feeling slightly better throughout.  The pain is not all gone, but the ache, soreness, and over-all chronic tenderness has subsided a little.  I am hoping that this slow process continues in the right direction, and even if it does not completely provide a pain-free body, at least I can take comfort in the assumption that it is not causing any further long-term damage or other problems. 

Of course, as with adding any new dietary supplement to your regime, talk to your own doctor about whether this may work for you.  You can read about and purchase Wobenzyme here.

Ginger Detox Tonic (home made)

I have been getting pretty creative with how to down supplements lately and ingest all these vitamins, probiotics, roots, enzymes and oils.  Yes, this is what my daily supplement regime looks like as of late.

Good times.  But on a positive note, for a girl who wouldn't even take a vitamin let alone willingly gag down multiple pills - I have been diligent and hope it pays off soon!

Ginger Detox Tonic

25 drops B complex (Rasberry)

4 oz Ginger (also super good on its own)

packet of Emercen-C

Fill with water and squeeze whole lime

Why Ginger? Ginger has been recognized as a wonderful remedy for things such as nausea, digestive problems, circulation and arthritis.  Ginger is also known to have the ability to calm an upset stomach and to promote the flow of bile (ew).  Stomach cramps can be eased and circulation can also be improved.  Ginger supports a healthy cardiovascular system by making platelets less sticky (also ew) which in turn reduces circulatory problems.

Ginger oil used for massage can help relieve painful arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is often included in many herbal decongestants and can help to minimise the symptoms of respiratory conditions, colds and allergies.
