Natural health with Megan Sheppard

Q. I have just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I am 32 years-old and have been told there is no cure for this. 

Are there any remedies that will help with the pain? I don’t want to be on long-term medication.

A. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, so is not caused by age or wear and tear. The good news is that early diagnosis is key to managing symptoms in the long run. Tackling pain and inflammation early on will reduce damage to your joints.
