Arthritis, characterized by excruciating joint pain, is often caused by an increase in uric acid production due to protein breakdown. To combat this condition and alleviate the associated pain, some leaves offer potential benefits.
Mint leaves, rich in iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, and folate, aid in purine elimination through the urinary tract, providing relief from joint pain. Spearmint tea, containing high levels of rosmarinic acid, shows promise in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation linked to osteoarthritis.
Coriander leaves, packed with calcium, potassium, thiamine, phosphorus, vitamin C, and vitamin K, help control uric acid levels in the blood.
Bay leaves not only enhance the flavor of Indian dishes but also possess medicinal properties. Consuming bay leaf-infused water reduces knee pain, while bay leaf oil massage can manage rheumatoid arthritis.
Betel leaves, abundant in anti-inflammatory substances, alleviate joint pain and discomfort associated with chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Chewing betel leaves enhances uric acid excretion through urine, providing relief throughout the day.
Curry leaves, known for their medicinal properties, assist in uric acid elimination by promoting its excretion through urination.
While dietary control remains essential for managing uric acid levels, incorporating these medicinal leaves may offer additional support in reducing joint pain associated with arthritis.
