Excruciating arthritis symptoms can be decreased with this simple but powerful tea from South Asia.

Over 10 million people in the UK suffer from arthritis, a condition that can affect those of all ages.

Arthritis is a common health condition which causes chronic pain in your joints. It damages joints, bones and can impact other body parts depending on the type.

Osteoarthritis is the most common variant of the condition, accounting for 9 million cases and usually, but not exclusively, develops after the age of 40.

It initially affects the smooth cartilage lining of the joint, then once the cartilage lining starts to roughen and thin out, the tendons and ligaments have to work harder causing excruciating pain.

There are two types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid. While osteoarthritis is caused by day-to-day wear-and-tear, rheumatoid arthritis is when your body's immune system attacks the joint capsule, which houses all parts of the joint responsible for seamless movement.

The attacks can eventually result in the cartilage being totally destroyed, leaving the sufferer with painful bone-on-bone movement.

Inflammation in the body can make symptoms of both types significantly worse, but drinking this tea could significantly lessen your pain.

In a study published on the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, it found that an active compound in turmeric, called curcumin, was effective in reducing pain in patients with osteoarthritis.

Not only this, but they found patients experienced no side effects after drinking the tea.

Though it can't restore joints and cartilage to pre-arthritis condition, it reduces swelling responsible for much of the pain associated with the condition.

Turmeric tea has also been shown to relieve period pains of women, relaxing blood vessels around the uterus.

The active ingredient that reduces swelling in turmeric, curcumin, makes up only 3-5 percent of the spice. Therefore, those looking for a higher dose are recommend to take a daily curcumin supplement of 200 to 1000mg, that contains 95 percent curcuminoids.

Turmeric has long been used in South and South East Asian cooking and medicine. Numerous studies are underway exploring its medical potential in the West.

The NHS highlights these main signs as symptoms of arthritis:
