oatmeal for arthritis

Wow, I never knew that oats warmed up and applied to aching bones could cure old arthritis...What is it in the oats that does that..could it simply be that it is warmed up or is it something in the oatmeal?:)+

this is news to me. thanks a lot for the tip. i will pass it on to my mom who has severe pain in the knees.

I would bet this would make a great facial mask and would soothe sinus pain, too. I just may try it, as my sinuses have hurt all day. I use a paraffin bath for my hands a lot, but this would work well for those who do not have one or want to buy one. I think the same treatment that I put over the paraffin would be good--put loose fitting plastic bags over the goop and insulated mitts over that to prolong the warmth.

I have not heard of this though it does make sense since the heat would penetrate. Sleeping warm in a sleeping bag on the bed would also help with morning stiffness and pain. As would a morning hot bath. Thanks for sharing this and if need be I might give it a try.

That sounds like a good idea and it sounds really simple thank you for this recipe for arthrits pain.

Wow, I've actually never heard that before! That's very interesting. Thanks for the information-I will have to remember to share it with my grandma because she has some arthritis problems.

I will try this for sure. I hate it when my hand hurt that bad. They never hurt like this till I had carpol tunnel surgery adn now they hurt like crazy anytime it rains.
