Health and Wisdom: Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month is a Time for Education About a Potentially Debilitating Disease

Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month, which is recognized in July, is a time when the medical community educates families about the dangers of Juvenile Arthritis, which affects 300,000 children.

“Many people think arthritis is a disease that affects seniors,” said Laura Collinwood, President of Health and Wisdom in Missouri. “Although arthritis is more common with older adults, thousands of children are diagnosed every year.”

EEHealth.org lists several facts about JA, including:

• The exact cause of childhood arthritis is unknown.
• Arthritis can be difficult to diagnose in children.
• Joint pain is not the only arthritis symptom in children.
• Arthritis may last for several months or be lifelong.
• Childhood arthritis is treatable.

“Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month shines a spotlight on the disease and possible treatments,” Collinwood said. “Since JA is difficult to diagnose, parents should look for some symptoms, such as joint pain, swelling, limited range of motion, limping, eye inflammation, slow growth, rash, persistent fever, and fatigue.”

Collinwood said doctors have a variety of treatment plans which could include nutritional strategies, NSAIDs, prescription drugs, and physical therapy.

The Arthritis Foundation also lists several minerals that help with the symptoms of arthritis, including Magnesium.

“Magnesium may help adults and children with arthritis,” Collinwood said. “Research indicates this essential mineral can help minimize the risk of arthritis.

“Since inflammation and arthritis are closely connected, using Magnesium, which is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can ease arthritis symptoms,” she added.

For more than two decades, Health and Wisdom has provided topical Magnesium products, which may lessen inflammation, including:

• Magnesium Oil USP: Purified, full-strength liquid Magnesium chloride.
• Magnesium Oil USP with Aloe Vera: Purified, full-strength Magnesium chloride with Aloe Vera, one of nature’s finest moisturizers.
• Magnesium Gel: Less concentrated, Magnesium Gel provides the benefits of purified Magnesium chloride formulated with seaweed extract for people with sensitive skin.
• Magnesium Gel with Aloe Vera: The same gentle formula as Magnesium Gel with the added softening and soothing benefits of Aloe Vera.
• Magnesium Bath Crystals: Highly concentrated Magnesium Chloride in a crystal form that you can add to bath water or foot soaks.
• Hand-Made Magnesium Bar Soap:  Available in three refreshing scents—Lavender, Rosemary/Peppermint, and Citrus.

“Topical magnesium can be applied directly to areas of discomfort, bringing relief. Magnesium has been used for centuries because of its healthful benefits,” Collinwood said. “Now, we have research that supports Magnesium as a natural way to soothe arthritis symptoms.”
