Another type of arthritis is Rheumatoid Arthritis. Extremely painful and inflammatory, it strikes the lining of the joints and actually attacks two million Americans in their twenties.

Psoriatic Arthritis is not as well known as the previous two, but actually eats away at the joints and can also manifest as psoriasis on the skin.

The term Arthritis literally translates to joint inflammation. If you suffer from any of the different types of Arthritis listed above, chances are you have taken drugs to combat the effects or tried other home remedies. If you havent
yet tried Urtication, it might be helpful. The term Urtication comes from the botanical name, Urtica dioica and dates back some 2,000 years to biblical times. Urtica dioica is Stinging Nettle. The treatment is to grasp the nettles in a gloved hand and swat the sore joints with the
nettles. This may seem bizarre, but the practice has proven to be so effective for some sufferers of arthritis that they now maintain a nettle plant on their window sill.

Here are a few more herbs that are used effectively for the treatment of arthritis:

Black Cohosh
Also known as Black Snakeroot, Bugbane, Rattleroot, Rattleweed, Squawroot. The dried root is the part used. This is a powerful relaxant as well as being extremely effective with easing painful menstrual cramps. Ovarian cramps will be relieved as well as bringing on a delayed
menstrual cycle. It is also effective in the treatment of arthritis, osteo-arthritis, rheumatic pain and neurological pain. In small doses, appetite and digestion are greatly improved and is very beneficial for the nervous system in
general.

Brown rice contains more fiber than white rice, helping you feel full with fewer calories, and is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant proven to protect cells from damage that can lead to health problems such as cancer, heart disease and cataracts. Brown rice takes longer to cook than regular-milled white rice (45 minutes versus 15 for white rice) since the outer bran layers act as a barrier to heat and moisture. It also requires a slight increase in cooking liquid: 2 to 2 1/2 cups liquid is recommended.

Rice is plentiful in the United States with at least seven states that grow rice. Arkansas, California, and Louisiana account for over 80% of the rice production in the United States. Rice is the most non-allergenic of all grains. It’s gluten-free and can be an important staple in diets of individuals with gluten sensitivity. Most rice sold in the United State is enriched, meaning that thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and iron, and foliates have been added to replace what was lost during the milling process. Enriched rice with folic acid is one of the “good” grains that is a source of the disease fighting nutrient.

Cooking family meals at home that include rice promotes good health. You can prepare great tasting dishes by preparing you own rice seasoning mixtures. Here are a few of the many ways that you can prepare rice:

Nine Flavored Rice Pilaf Mixes

1 cup long-grain, converted rice Flavor Packet 2 tablespoons butter 2 1/2 cups hot water

Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Saut the rice, stirring constantly, until it takes on a translucent quality; do not let the kernels pop. Slowly stir in the water, then the Flavor Packet; bring to a full boil; cover and lower heat. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until nearly all of liquid is absorbed and the rice looks just a bit too moist to serve. Turn off heat and let stand for 10 minutes before uncovering and serving.

Each recipe makes one flavor packet. Also, these recipes are meant for bouillon cubes that mix with 8 oz. of water. If you prefer to substitute bouillon cubes that mix with 6 oz. of water, or powder, you will need to figure the differences accordingly. Three 8 oz. cubes equal four 6 oz. cubes.

Chicken: 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed

1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes 3 dashes pepper

Beef: 3 beef bouillon cubes, crushed 3 dashes pepper

Onion: 3 onion or beef bouillon cubes, crushed 2 teaspoons dried minced or chopped onion 3 dashes pepper

Mushroom: 3 chicken or beef bouillon cubes, crushed 2 tablespoons dried mushroom slices, in bits 3 dashes pepper

Celery: 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed 3 tablespoons dried celery flakes 3 dashes pepper

Curry: 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed 1 teaspoon curry powder

Saffron: 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed 1 pinch saffron 1 pinch turmeric

Oriental: 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed 1 onion bouillon cube, crushed 2 teaspoons dried celery flakes

2 teaspoons dried mushroom slices, in bits 1 teaspoon dried minced onion dash of powdered ginger add several dashes soy sauce to boiling water

Spanish: 3 chicken bouillon cubes, crushed 2 tablespoons dried green pepper flakes 2 tablespoons dried minced onion dash of chili powder add 2 tablespoons tomato paste to boiling water

Good tasting rice dishes do not have to be expensive. Try the recipes above and get rave reviews from your family!
