Joint Pain, and How Water Can Help Your body is an amazing creation. From a circulatory standpoint, your body is a river of water, always moving, flowing, and cleansing and refreshing the organs and tissues and cells. And your bones and joints. Now we tend to think of bones and joints as though they were hard, inanimate things. But that’s not true. They are living and growing parts of your body, just as much as any other part of your body. Most of us have joint pain from time to time. It may be something simple, like a minor pain in the knee, or something as excruciating as a pulled muscle in the back. Sometimes we know what caused it (maybe a little too much strenuous exercise when we weren’t quite used to it) but often we have no idea what caused the pain that we’re suffering from. What we don’t realize is that poisons (or toxins, if you will) can accumulate in joints and joint tissues, and cause pain and inflammation. When we’re having unexplained joint pain, it’s important to make sure the body can get rid of that poison. Water can do that for you. Make use of it. This isn't to say that such toxins are the only cause of your pain. If you're having prolonged, unexpected joint or bone pain, have your health provider check it out. But often the answer is found in the tap in your kitchen sink. Jim Huffman, RN specializes in natural and alternative healing therapies.
