MSM powder/Organic sulfur: Help for arthritis

MSM powder or organic sulfur is a great supplement for arthritis pain. When you are at the right dose, you can feel the effect of the MSM powder relatively quickly. Most people with joint pain find that a dose of 1 to 2 tablespoons or 9 to 18 grams of MSM powder can effectively manage their arthritis pain.

MSM in the powder form is the preferable way to take MSM. MSM capsules can be more expensive and tend to contain fillers or binders that can degrade the quality of the product. You still need to be wary of the MSM that is sold on the market, make sure it is made in the USA and contains no fillers or binders or flow agents. Many of the big manufacturers will use flow agents to help the MSM flow through their machines more easily when they are repackaging.

It is best to start with one teaspoon of MSM and work your way up until you find the relief you need. Some people fine 1 teaspoon is enough other find they feel better after 3 tablespoons. MSM is not toxic to the body. MSM powder has an unpleasant taste and most people find that mixing it with apple juice helps mask the taste. Although, I mix it in just enough water to drink it down quickly, kind of like a shot.

MSM powder has many benefits. Here are just a few:

• Reduce inflammation
• Increase oxygen to the body
• Alleviate constipation
• Helps eliminate toxins in the body
• Helps hair and nails grow stronger and faster
• Helps build healthy new cells

Sulfur can be found in many foods we eat such as onions, garlic, cabbage and broccoli, but we don't usually get enough in our diet, especially when our system is compromised and we need more of it. If your body is in pain or in need of extra assistance, add MSM powder to your diet

Infrared sauna and detoxification

An infrared sauna can be an easy and quick way to rid your body of toxins. Everyday we are exposed to chemicals and pollution through the air we breath and the products we use. We are also exposed to unhealthy toxins in the foods we eat. Detoxifying our bodies with the use of an Infrared Sauna can help rid ourselves of harmful toxins that accumulate in our bodies everyday.

Allow yourself 30 to 40 minutes in the infrared sauna. Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your session. Make sure you don't have any creams on your body that will block your pores. If you have a hard time sweating that can mean that you have a lot of toxic build up in your body. Try a hot shower before your sauna session to induce sweating. Once you finish your session, replenish your body with electrolytes. Drink coconut water or replenish your body with a mineral supplement.

Using the infrared sauna at least once a week will help your body get back on track. Check the ingredients of your laundry detergent, shampoos and soaps. Oftentimes, these products contain harmful synthetics that are absorbed into the skin and can cause us harm in the long term. Try to buy organic fruits and vegetables; especially produce that is know to be sprayed with pesticides: celery, apples, cucumbers, grapes, hot peppers, imported nectarines, peaches, potatoes, strawberries, spinach, sweet bell peppers, kale/collard greens, summer squash, cherry tomatoes. Drink purified water, some of the best water you can drink is alkaline water. A water ionizer can both remove harmful contaminants in your water and ionize your water raising the PH so that it is more alkaline. An acidic body can have many detrimental effect to the body, raising the PH of your body will help boost your body's immune system.
