I use gin soaked raisins and find it very helpful. in normal day to day living I rarely suffer pain. just when I m cutting stencils or doing model making where I am using my hands in cramped positions for hours at a time do they really hurt. and even then not nearly as badly as when I get complacent and stop eating them. but the cherry juice might be a good additional thing when I am using my hands so intensely.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-1918059084720137222016-08-31T20:50:25.120-05:002016-08-31T20:50:25.120-05:00The blossom and the bee is wonderful.

That's close enough.<br /><br />I saw your title. Do you know about organic (i.e., no sugar added0 cherry juice for arthritis? When the joints in my hands swell and get painful, a cupful a day reduces the inflammation. I read about it online, and figured it wouldn't hurt -- and it did help. It's apparently one of the best natural anti-inflammatories there is.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-84522675394451467672016-08-31T19:04:00.638-05:002016-08-31T19:04:00.638-05:00This is stunning.
