Would you like to try a natural topical soother for occasional arthritis flares? Here’s a recipe…
Grate three tablespoons of fresh horseradish root (or three tablespoons of the best jarred you can find), and stir it into one-half cup of boiled milk. Pour the mixture onto two layers of cheesecloth, enough to cover the painful area. Let sit for a few seconds if it seems too hot to bear, but you want it to be as hot as you can stand. Apply the wet mass to the painful area. By the time the poultice cools, you’ll have some relief.
