Rheumatoid arthritis and gout are very painful forms of joint disease, but rather than give anti-inflammatory medicines for painful joints, natural medicine has always tried to address the causes.  Herbs that help neutralise bacteria and allergens, address the causes of rheumatoid arthritis.  Rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by reddened, swollen and often disfigured, finger, thumb or toe joints.  Reducing the build up, and speeding the elimination of uric acid, helps prevent the crystals that cause gout attacks.  Poor kidney function and inadequate water consumption can also contribute to gout, due to the concentration of uric acid.  Gout sufferers complain of excruciatingly sharp pains, usually in the big toe joint.
 
The Benefits of Celery Seed Complex with Devil’s Claw 
Containing traditional blood purifiers, antibacterial herbs, digestive stimulants, immune regulating and anti- inflammatory properties, this formula should help all aspects of the development of rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
Avoiding foods high in purine (seafood, liver, heart, kidney and yeasts) and drinks that prevent uric acid
elimination (fortified alcohols such as port, sherry etc.), are essential measures in treating gout.
Main Uses:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Gout

 
Properties
Celery seed - acts as a diuretic, has urinary antiseptic properties and bacteriostatic activity (inhibits growth of
bacteria).
Burdock - acts as a diuretic and is valued in traditional herbalism as a blood purifier.  Burdock root has shown some anti-inflammatory activity.
Devil’s Claw - contains substances called iridoids, one of which, harpagoside, is responsible for the corticosteroid-like (anti-inflammatory) benefits of Devil’s Claw.  Such actions are known to be useful in
autoimmune conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis), reducing the excessive levels of inflammation of an unbalanced immune system.  Devil’s Claw has been shown to be as effective as the drug allopurinol in the treatment of gout, preventing the conversion of purine to uric acid.
Nettle - contains flavonoids that account for its diuretic action therefore increasing the excretion of uric acid. 
Nettle leaves have anti-inflammatory effects, by reducing the formation of crystals and by preventing the body’s
production of inflammatory prostaglandins.  Nettle is regarded in traditional herbalism as a blood purifier.
 
Devil’s Claw should be avoided by those taking blood thinners.  Contra-indicated in people with gastric and
duodenal ulcers because of its effect in stimulating the digestive processes.
Not for use during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
