Does it help with arthritis?

As far as I know, it is not intended to be used over the joints for arthritis pain, though it wouldn't hurt to try it. It is a skin cream. I couldn't tolerate the smell. I had to chuck it.

I agree with NaturalMomma, I take MSM for hair growth...with the added benefit of decreasing my joint pain. Some would say it's the other way around. :) But neem had too much of a strong smell (personal opinion) to rub it on my joints or anywhere on my body.

I really dont know the answer to that .. I am taking MSM pills for joints thou. Sorry I couldnt help.

Not sure about this for arthritis. I would recommend Dr Christopher's Formula Complete Tissue and Bone Ointment or their comfrey ointment.

I don't know about the arthritis. It is amazing stuff and I love it. I have psoriatic arthritis and it helps a lot with my skin. But...there are neem [ills. I take 2 a day and can tell when i don't take them . I am seriously thinking of getting the seeds and growing my own. Good Luck The straight neem oil does smell awful but does not when you add it to your favorite lotion. This product has a vanilla scent to it.

Can't say. I can say it didn't so well for the thumb arthritis/tendinitis I had. So if you have those ailments, consider something else.

I don't know. It seems to help my arthritis in my wrist & thumb when nothing else worked.

I don't take it all the time but when I get some arthritis pain anywhere, usually in the knees, I take this product and it works.

I don't have arthritis and don't know anything about a link between iodine use or deficiency, and arthritis. I recommend the book "Iodine Why you Need it Why You Can't Live Without It" by David Brownstein. It answers all sorts of questions like this. You can probably get it on Amazon.

The first two months you need to take 2-3 capsules a day, after that one capsule a day should work. Great supplement for me, my arthritis is much better

Not necessarily. I use full strength on my wrists for arthritis pain. If it stings a little, I use some lotion or argon oil on it. Go online and read all the info, there is a ton out there. You can dilute it, but I do not.

Yes - but don't forget pain-relieving exercises too - books like Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis, Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis, or Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis are a good place to start. As far as research, here's a bit of what I found: ---a 2009 review of available studies concluded that glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and chondroitin sulfate used individually only inconsistently decreases arthritis pain. However, many studies have confirmed arthritis pain relief when you take glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate together. ---studies have consistently reported that glucosamine appears safe ---a review by Bruyere et al. about glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis concludes that both products act as valuable symptomatic therapies for arthritis and have some potential structure-modifying effects ---the OsteoArthritis Research Society International is recommending chondroitin sulfate as the second-most-effective treatment for moderate cases of osteoarthritis ---the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) supports using chondroitin sulfate in the management of knee osteoarthritis

I saw a doc who suggested I look for the turmeric version with Meriva. He said it helps with absorption. That's how I arrived at using this brand. There are some others that include Meriva. I felt that the turmeric helped me not use more potent pain meds for my arthritis. I hope this helps.

I actually have not done any research on this product...I only tried it because of the claim on the label. My arthritis only bothers me when I sit with my legs a certain way and if I don't sit that way, my arthritis doesn't bother me. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I really don't know. I just know it hasn't helped my joints as I had hoped it would. Maybe it's just the wrong RX for my particular issues.

Hi I dont think so but it all gets nice and warm. It is a brilliant product and helps with the pain of arthritis in my neck.

I have used it on my hands - I have arthritis in my thumbs and it seems to help the aching.

My rheumatologist want me to take it for bone deficiency. With my arthritis it will help my bones stay strong.

It eased the arthritis pain in my husbands fingers and I used it as a replacement for a heating pad for an injured knee. The heat works great but I can't say whether or not the light has any effect. We are pleased with it but you could probably buy a heating pad for less money.
