"Research shows that, for many conditions, herbs work well, are cheaper than drugs and cause fewer side effects. Patients are interested in [natural remedies] and doctors are increasingly familiar with herb research," the medical director of the integrative medicine program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles told the news provider.
One popular remedy for burns is aloe vera. Although products that contain this ingredient are widely available, the news source explained that the gel derived directly from the plant's leaves is the most effective for treating sunburns or scalds caused by hot kitchen appliances.
The news source also recommended a number of options to help reduce the painful symptoms of arthritis and related conditions. For example, boswellia, also known as frankincense, has been shown to subdue joint swelling and pain, as well as evening primrose oil, which has been used as an anti-inflammatory treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50 million Americans suffer from some form of arthritis.
