Olson Acupuncture & Nutritional Healing practitioners recommend herbs and supplements for many types of ailments. During the colder months joint pain can be exacerbated. Instead of NSAIDs for pain management, which can have unpleasant side effects, we encourage our patients to learn more about other modalities that are proven to alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness. Below you will see two featured herbal/supplemental products that we often prescribe for joint health.
The herb Du Huo (Angelica pubescens) is particularly beneficial for maintaining joint health and supporting flexibility during the fall as the weather changes. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, Du Huo is known for its ability “to dispel wind and dampness” — two environmental factors that are believed to exacerbate joint pain, especially in cooler, wetter weather. As fall brings about these conditions, incorporating Du Huo into your broader wellness routine can help address the discomfort associated with stiff, achy joints. Du Huo Ji Sheng Tang not only addresses joint needs but also strengthens the tendons and bones, nourishes the blood, and supports the kidneys and liver — key organs in maintaining overall vitality and energy.
