A study conducted by researchers at Shanghai University in China, and published in Arthritis Research and Therapy revealed amazing results for arthritis sufferers.

It proved that one specific traditional Chinese procedure keeps away arthritis pain for not just one or two weeks, but amazingly for up to 18 weeks!

What’s more: it’s safe, free of side-effects and available in most areas around the world.

Moxibustion (or moxa for short) is an old Chinese method somewhat similar to acupuncture. But instead of needles the practitioners use Moxa (or both Moxa and needles), to warm the energy points. Moxa is an herb derived from the mugwort plant, and practioners use it in a variety of ways after grinding or burning it.

The researchers enrolled 110 patients with knee osteoarthritis. The average WOMAC pain index score was 8.23 at the start of the study. Only patients who had never received Moxibustion treatment before were chosen.

The patients were divided into two groups. One group was administered real Moxibustion procedure while the other group received a placebo treatment. The doctors involved in the study were practitioners with 5 or more years of experience.

The treatment was administered 3 times a week for a period of 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated for pain intensity at 3 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after therapy.

At week 3, the pain score was already lower. Results showed a level of 4.80 on the average in the group that received the treatment, compared to 5.85 average for those who got the sham treatment. By week 12, it had improved even more dramatically. The pain scores were recorded as 2.85 in the Moxibustion group versus 4.41 in the control group.

These results are better than any achieved through medications. A patient might need a treatment only once in 3 months to manage arthritis pain effectively and safely.

When I got my first breakthrough in curing my own arthritis, I was traveling in China. I didn’t receive Moxibustion treatment but drank traditional Chinese tea and used other ancient techniques that completely eased my pain.

After that experience, I was convinced that arthritis could be healed naturally. I succeeded and so have thousands of readers. Here are the exact steps that I took to heal my arthritis…
