Anti Inflamatory versus Natural

Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs treat arthritis, headaches, sport injuries, fever, and menstrual cramps. This is a list of over the counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) - ibuprofen, Allieve, Celebrex, and aspirin. There are side effects, such as, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, rash, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and edema (fluid retention).

Steroidal Anti-inflammatory  drugs are prescription and treat chronic joint pain. The side effects are osteoporosis (porous bones) and a lower immune system. Cortisone injections are a steroid anti-inflammatory which must only be used for the short term.

Man made or synthetic drugs replicate what is in nature. There are natural herbs which will relieve aches, pains, and fevers. Since these herbs are natural, there are no side effects.
