Send OA pain packing with this Amazonian ‘garlic weed’ [Better than aspirin?]
You’re not just in pain…
You’re so stiff… you can barely get around!
Don’t let worn-out joints DISABLE you… or force you to DEPEND on anybody else.
You can KEEP doing the things you love…
Even if you’ve got the “wear and tear” form of arthritis, known as osteoarthritis.
Because there’s a way to send pain packing… WITHOUT filling Big Pharma’s pockets!
Here’s how.
Like a fire brigade for your joints
Anamu (Petiveria alliacea) is a shrub that grows in the Amazon rainforest regions of South America.
It gets its scientific name from allia (or allium), the Latin word for garlic – an indication of what the plant smells and tastes like (hence its nickname “garlic weed”).
Its sulfur compounds make it a potent antimicrobial, just like garlic…
But indigenous tribes have also used it to ease asthma AND aches and pains.
What these complaints have in common should come as no surprise…
Inflammation!
And researchers have begun to confirm to scientific reasoning behind the traditional use of anamu for such inflammatory conditions.
This “rainforest herb” EXTINGUISHES inflammation as it…
- INTERFERES with the NF-κB pathway and
- SUPPRESSES the production of cytokines and other inflammatory substances.
In a 2019 in vitro study out of India, tipi extracts OUTPERFORMED aspirin in terms of beating back inflammation.
That could be enough on its own to RELIEVE the pain of osteoarthritis…
But it turns out that anamu also ZEROES IN on the pain pathways of your central nervous system (CNS)… acting as both an analgesic and a sedative.
There aren’t any large-scale, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials on osteoarthritis patients yet…
But some folks SWEAR by this traditional pain-relieving therapy.
Especially in the form of an herbal tea.
You can find anamu tea bags in packaged form at your local health food store or online. It’s sometimes also called “tipi tea.”
You may find it blended with other ingredients to help soften the flavor… or even TURBO-CHARGE its effectiveness.
Or, look for anamu supplements in capsule form from a maker you trust.
To tea time,
