boost   immunity and reduce inflammation.  EFAs are also found in oily fish products

Vitamin C. and E
Zinc - Research has shown that acute arthritis sufferers have a zinc deficiency. Zinc is needed to  metabolise Essential Fatty Acids, and for most people their main source of Zinc is from meat  which, if you have arthritis you are trying to avoid, so a supplement is a  good option.  It is also in whole grain flour,  pulses, brown rice, dried fruits,  garlic, onions,  pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
   
Other self help measures
Massage  
Light massage over an inflamed area of pain and the stimulation of  pressure points can help to interrupt the pain signals to the brain.
 Local heat treatment infra-red, wheat packs, hot water bottles helps to increase circulation around an affected area which helps with pain and healing, and the removal of toxins.
Ice packs can also reduce inflammation and pain.
Essential oils - which can be used in massage blends
Some essential oils have analgesic, anti-inflammatory or muscular warming  properties - ask your Therapist for advice.
