Arthritis elixir

By Mercedes Kay Gold, CNP, CPT

  Arthritis is a painful ailment and can be addressed with my own personal warm elixir, made with Ceylon cinnamon, a must-have anti-inflammatory.

Combine your favorite nut beverage or coconut milk, ¼ teaspoon of turmeric, fresh grated ginger, ½ tsp of organic Ceylon cinnamon and a ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper to boost absorption.

Cinnamon essential oil made from bark, not the leaves, is an awesome addition to carrier oils as pain-relieving massage oil for arthritic joints. Cinnamon essential oil, plus the addition of Epsom salts, ups the wow factor for the tub, targeting sore muscles.
