A.Vogel Knotgrass (arthritis,gout,carpal tunnel syndrome)

Most of the herbs in Bioforce Knotgrass Complex have a degree of diuretic action. The increase in the volume of urine results in an increase in excretion of waste matter. This in turn eliminates unwanted toxic material from the soft tissues of the body.

Betula alba (Birch) contains saponins and flavonoids which have anti-inflammatory activity. It is also a bitter digestive stimulant and diuretic, a combination which is useful in alleviating inflammatory conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis.

Solidago (Golden Rod) is a diuretic which also possesses anti-inflammatory action.

Urtica dioica (Stinging Nettle) increases the excretion of uric acid and other acid metabolites from the body. It also contains nutrients which are important for the soft tissues of joints, especially silica.

Polygonum aviculare (Knotgrass) and Equisetum arvense (Horsetail) are also rich in silica.

Silica rich plants assist the immune system in cleansing the body of toxins and help improve elasticity and strength of connective tissue.

Potentilla anserina (Silverweed) has an astringent action on the digestive tract.

Mentha piperata (Peppermint) is also a digestive aid.

Interestingly, it is now thought that crystalline deposits in joints may be responsible for many cases of arthritis. The dynamics of the joint are altered, leading to inflammation. Improving the elimination and 'cleansing' of body fluids removes the end products of metabolism from tissues, together with accumulated toxins which are known to cause and aggravate arthritis and rheumatism.

Arthritis

There are many forms of arthritis but the main ones commonly seen are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. There are a number of features which differentiate them.

Osteoarthritis is due to wear and tear of the joint. It mainly affects single, weight bearing joints in the body and is equally common in men and women. Symptoms tend to worsen after movement.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder which can affect the whole body. Joints in the hands, feet, wrists, ankles and knees are mainly affected, most often occurring with a symmetrical distribution (i.e. both hands, both feet) and is more common in women.

Knotgrass Complex is helpful in both these complaints by reducing inflammation and eliminating toxins in the blood and soft tissues. It is of use in gout as the elimination of uric acid is improved.
