Some Herbal Formulas Traditionally Used For
Arthritis Is Joint Venture for all types of
Arthritis? Yes! This is what makes this formula so
unique. There are many classic Chinese formulas for the different types of
Arthritis but this has been formulated considering all types:
Unlike pharmaceuticals the one thing we can guarantee is no harm whatsoever to the body!
(In fact all ingredients are beneficial to long term health) Here is how "Joint Venture" came to
be: Not long ago, out of curiosity, I brewed up large doses of
Huang Jing (Common name: Siberian Solomon Seal – Polygonatum spp)
to “test” its energy. (I
do not have Arthritis) I did however, experience a very good feeling in my
joints and found myself wanting to stretch and walk or maybe even run! I
was not “hyped up” or having any kind of heart acceleration in any way. I
was in fact very calm. I just wanted to move my muscles because it felt
good to do so. The only side effect I found was just a slight bit of
sweating yet I was not hot. I felt like I was getting rid of toxins.
Although Huang Jing is a “Yin” herb having a “cooling” energy with its
affinities belonging to the spleen and lungs, my Chinese Medical training
immediately told me that I was experiencing a systematic opening into the
meridians of the joints! This, I thought, could “pave the way” for other
herbs proven to work against the deposits and “evil chi” of
arthritis.
Added to Joint Venture is “Sang Ji Sheng”
or “Mulberry Mistletoe”( Loranthus parasiticus)This herb has a
neutral energy with affinities for the liver and kidneys. It has been used
in many arthritis preparations due to its ability to nourish blood, expel
moving pain and correct deficiencies such as week tendons and bones, weak
legs and lumbago due to its nourishing of the liver and kidneys.
Experiments have also shown it can also reduce blood fat and expand
coronary arteries.
The herb,
Dong Gui (Angelica sinenis) is
used in the formula and helps
to activate the blood helping the other herbs work at their
optimum. The herb, Gui Zhi (Cinnamon twigs) helps to warm and
invigorate the blood and qi helping to open up the channels so the formula
can work its best. Lastly there is
Gan Cao (Licorice root) which “harmonizes” all the herbs making them come
together as a smother operating formula much easer for the body to
assimilate and prolonging the effects while also adding a sweetness of
taste making it easy to take! This has been around with over 15
years of success now!

We strongly recommend taking
either one of these formulas
with Buchu Leaf

if
Gout is the
problem.
Joint Venture: (Scroll down below to See
"Artharid"
capsules)
Several different
conditions are diagnosed by Western physicians as arthritis (joint
inflammation). In the Chinese system of medicine, these conditions
include Bi-Syndrome, (Hot, Cold, Damp, and Wind) 3rd Stage Injury, Liver
Yin Deficiency, and Painful
Obstruction.
Cold-bi and Damp-bi
are usually diagnosed as osteoarthritis. This
condition feels better when heat is applied. Damp-Bi syndrome gets worse
when the weather gets damp. When sufferers go to a warm dry climate, they
often feel better.
Hot-bi presents with pain, swelling,
heat and redness in the joint(s). It is usually diagnosed as rheumatoid
arthritis or gouty
arthritis.
Putting heat on such an inflamed joint makes it feel
worse.
We
also strongly recommend Kidney Klenze if
gout is
present.
This all Chinese Herb based formula is not quite like
any of the classic Chinese Patent formulas for arthritis that have been
used recently or over the centuries. Although many of the individual herbs
have been incorporated in some of the classics, this is quite unique in
its Chinese Systematic Combination Theory, which you will
see.
The next herb of
Joint Venture which enters this
“paved pathway” is“Xu Duan”
or “Fracture Healer” (Common
name: Teazel- Dipsacus asper wall) The roots of this herb are used
medically and it is considered in the class of “Kidney Yang
Tonic Herbs” with a slightly warm energy and an affinity for the liver and
kidneys. This Herb helps promote blood circulation around injured tissues.
This is a well known herb in Chinese Medicine classified to counteract rheumatism and used to
strengthen loins and knees, connect tendons and bones, and treat fractures
and lumbago. This herb works well with counteracting the problems of Lymes
disease.
The next herb Is
“Wu Jia Pi” or “Five Plus Bark” (Acanthopanix grasilistylus)
Although this root bark is classified mainly to counteract rheumatism it also used
extensively in
Another highly
valuable herb in Joint Venture
is Yan Hu Suo .(Corydalis yanhusuo-
Rhizoma) This is the prized herb in China for the relief of pain caused by
stagnant blood and qi. (a large factor in arthritic problems) It’s
affinities are the heart, liver, and gall bladder. It is available as a
patent medicine in its single form (in tablets) for abdominal and
menstrual pain but when combined with herbs that have specific affinity
locations it is effective where it is “directed”. It also promotes blood
circulation in the places where there is pain

Artharid: by
Plant Cures (Scroll down just below to buy)
This incredible arthritis formula is made
from Hemidesmus indicus, (From India) Africian Devils Claw, Wu Jia
Pi (Acanthopanix grasilistylus)
and a touch of Ginger Root to warm it up. Together, these
herbs combine to do a real trick in reliving Arthritis pain and even
helping to rid the body of it in many cases. Some of the plants in
this formula have a natural "steroid like" substance in them so it
actually made it a little
easer for those that were taking steroid based drugs for arthritis and
wanted to "Wean" off of them while using Artharid. (this "steroid like"
substance in the plants has no side effects and can be taken for long
periods of time if necessary )
We strongly
recommend taking this with Kidney Klenze If Gout is
present
Both products can be tried individually to see which
works out best and they can be used together if
necessary.
