Help from the Devil’s Claw for Swollen Knees


Devil’s claw can be used to help the knees because of its anti-inflammatory properties. This herb is also useful for the kidneys because it helps the body eliminate uric acid. Devil’s claw will usually be found in combinations of herbs, especially soothing herbs such as slippery elm, because it can be somewhat irritating to the digestive tract. Devil’s claw has helped many, but it is somewhat slow-acting; it may take you a couple of weeks to feel its positive effects, so be patient.
Carrot juice with goats whey powder added can make an excellent drink for all structural conditions—whey contains many minerals such as sodium, potassium, and other supplements that support the joints. Make and apply a poultice made from soothing herbs such as mullein and plantain to reduce inflammation in the knees or any inflamed areas.
