For healing the pain and stiffness of arthritis: You can do this in the evening before bedtime or during the day, if you're at home ... Rub peanut oil into the affected joints, massaging the tissues around the joint also to bring up the circulation. If you can find the really good stuff -- organic and cold-pressed -- that's great, but even store-bought peanut oil will do something. If you're going to sleep with this treatment, you may want to wear old cotton clothing, gloves, socks, etc., to protect your sheets. Do your peanut oil rub in a cyclic pattern. This means, do it every other night; OR, do it for 4 nights, then take off 3 nights. You don't have to do it every single night. Cycle on and off with times you do the rubs. Some people find that pain and inflammation begin subsiding within days; for others, it's weeks. But once the pain and stiffness have disappeared, you only need to use the peanut oil as needed, if the pain returns. Another factor to consider: The parathyroids, tiny glands on the thyroid, are responsible for managing calcium in the body. If calcium is being inappropriately deposited, these glands may need some help. And this is simple, when you do your peanut oil rubs, finish up with massaging the base of the throat where the thyroid/parathyroids are. Tilt your head back a bit and rub in some oil there; also grasp the area and vibrate it a few seconds to "wake it up." Some doctors may say that you need to limit your calcium intake, but holistically, we understand that, when the body "hoards" or "stores," that means it is not getting enough of the substance. Look for calcium lactate supplements that have a 5 to 1 ratio with magnesium. And also take a cod liver oil supplement with it for vitamin D to process the calcium, if you're not out in the sun regularly. It's better to restrict your protein intake (which requires calcium to process it) than to restrict your calcium. ***As a preventive: a full-body massage once a week with peanut oil will prevent arthritis from developing.
