Re: Tart Cherry Juice question re: arthritis

[ Edited ]

We heard about the benefits of tart cherry juice several years ago. My dh takes it regiliously and swears by it with his aches and pains. I live in upper MI, the heart of the cherry capital (Woman Happy), so we can find our juice locally from the orchards.

Black Cherry juice (preferably organic with no aditives) works well for arthritis and gout.  I get the concentrate.  You probably won't find it at most grocery stores unless they have an organic section.  I'm pretty sure Amazon has it.


@Pook        And how much do you drink every day?   How long before you felt any effects from this?


 

 

At first drink 2(or more) 5 oz glasses daily if using concentrate (2 tlbs in 5 oz of water) to get the inflamation reduced, then one glass daily should be enough for maintenance.  As with most natural remedies, this is not an overnight quick fix especially if their is a lot of inflamation but it probably will benefit you in the long run.  It does work faster to clear up gout.

Re: Tart Cherry Juice question re: arthritis

A friend got me started on tart cherry.  I tried it for awhile, but didn't work for me.  We're all different, so maybe you will have better luck.  Suppose to help as a sleep aid too, but I'll stick to wine for that.

Re: Tart Cherry Juice question re: arthritis

You can also try taking a Tart Cherry supplement, I do think Puritans Pride has a capsule that is both Tumeric and Tart Cherry combined.

While turmeric & cherry juice are nice nutritional therapies, they don't have the impact of a plant-based diet.   If arthritic while eating animal, eggs, dairy & oil products, a teaspoon or turmeric and/or cherry juice is like using a spray water bottle for a house fire.  

 

To make big changes, one has to make big changes.

Low fat, whole foods, plant based diet will immensely help your arthritis.

Trader Joe's has tart cherry juice in glass bottles for about $5. I buy it and drink a little of it each day (although I either cut it with water or mix with another juice like cranberry).

 

I also take a combo capsule of tart cherry & turmeric, purchased from Puritans Pride. I have a little arthritis in my neck and since I've been drinking and taking these things my neck no longer bothers me. I've been taking these supplementals for about a year.


@sandraskates - I also like Zyflamend by New Chapter - has tumeric in it also - all natural and great for arthritic pain.

Re: Tart Cherry Juice question re: arthritis

2 Tablespoons in sparking water twice a day for arthritis, gout, etc. People swear by it. Funny this post is here as I just ran out to get some this morning as I can feel a bit of gout coming on. I hope it wards it off!

Re: Tart Cherry Juice question re: arthritis

I bought some tart cherry juice the other day.  I also bought grape juice to mix with it.  Do I first mix the cherry juice concentrate with water and then mix that with the grape juice?  Or do I mix the cherry juice concentrate straight with the grape juice?  This is probably a stupid question, but I'm just not sure which would be correct.

I bought some tart cherry juice and like it in plain or flavored sparking water.
