Knee pain is a very common problem. It can be caused by many conditions but arthritis is the most common cause. Many herbs, medications, and other modalities to help with knee pain are used, some with success and some with side-effects. But relief may be found in your garden or at your local grocery store. Resveratrol, a substance found in grapes, has long been known to be heart healthy, now studies show that this same substance, because of its anti-inflammatory effects, may be very helpful in reducing knee pain. “Resveratrol stops inflammation the same way aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do — by inhibiting the molecular switch that turns inflammation on and off in the body.” So for joint pain and inflammation, why not include grapes and grape juice in your diet daily; it can only help!
