Struggle with Immobility presents a natural, informative approach to the management of arthritis. Written in flowing conversational style, the text covers different types of arthritis, nutrients for keeping joints healthy, herbal approaches, and complementary remedies like aromatherapy and use of essential oils.

People who suffer from arthritis will benefit from the extensive chapter on herbal considerations for the relief of arthritis pain. Readers will discover helpful and interesting information, such as the fact that white willow bark and burdock root have been clinically proven to relieve pain.

Many of the herbs suggested within this book are known to reduce the need for non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a common source for gastrointestinal side effects among arthritis patients. Armed with this information, patients can take control of their own disease management, and spend less money in the process.

All readers will appreciate the chapter about immune function, which explains how the immune system becomes weak, and provides suggestions for preventing immune damage. With an understanding of immune function, patients will then be able to fully grasp the extensive nutritional information, which recommends particular vitamins and other nutrients for arthritis management.

A section about drug interactions with nutrients and herbs completes the book, making it truly a comprehensive handbook for arthritis management.
