yucca root a natural pain reliever

Yucca Root is often used for conditions such as hip dysplasia, bone/joint problems, and soft tissue swellings. Research from the National Arthritis Medical Center concludes that yucca is effective for a number of types of arthritis, including gout. Yucca contains a high level of steroid saponins (natural glucosides). Saponin is a natural pain killer and is the precursor to cortisone. The saponins are also believed to stimulate the absorption of vitamins and minerals and decrease the amount of toxins absorbed. This helps to put less of a load on the purifying organs of the body (kidneys, and liver) and helps to lower the amount of toxins in the body which can cause arthritis and other degenerative diseases. Saponins allow water and fats to combine, which help the body improve its ability to produce its own cortisone by supplying materials needed to be manufactured in the adrenal glands and to help fatty build up in joints and arteries to dissolve and be eliminated. This relieves arthritic problems and promotes better circulation. Yucca root is one of the ingredients of Joint and Bone Combo from Nepatica.
