What is Polymyalgia Rheumatica?

Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) is an inflammatory disorder that causes muscle pain and stiffness, primarily in the shoulders, upper arms, neck, and hips. It typically affects individuals over the age of 50 and can develop suddenly, often with morning stiffness and fatigue that interferes with daily activities.

PMR is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation. It can also be associated with other conditions such as giant cell arteritis.

Symptoms of Polymyalgia Rheumatica

1. Aching or stiffness in the shoulders, neck, hips, and thighs
2. Symptoms that are worse in the morning or after rest
3. Fatigue and low energy
4. Mild fever or general feeling of being unwell
5. Limited range of motion in affected areas
6. Sudden weight loss (in some cases)

Natural Support for Polymyalgia Rheumatica

To help reduce inflammation, support the immune system, and relieve discomfort, our practitioners recommend:

1. CH02 InflamaStop Tincture – A potent anti-inflammatory blend that helps ease joint and muscle pain, soothe inflamed tissues, and support mobility.
2. CH53 EpilepsyCare Tincture – Though traditionally used for nervous system support, it also contains calming herbs that may help with tension, pain management, and overall neurological balance.
3. CH184 Immune Booster Capsules – Designed to strengthen the immune system, promote balance, and support the body’s natural defenses in autoimmune-related inflammation.

Natural Ways to Support Muscle & Immune Health

1. Gentle daily movement – Stretching, yoga, or walking can reduce stiffness and improve circulation.
2. Follow an anti-inflammatory diet – Include turmeric, ginger, garlic, leafy greens, berries, and omega-3s.
3. Prioritize sleep and rest – The body heals and regulates inflammation during deep rest.
4. Use heat therapy – Warm baths or heat packs can ease muscle tightness and discomfort.
5. Stay hydrated – Water helps flush toxins and reduce inflammatory responses.
6. Reduce emotional stress – Meditation, prayer, or journaling can help regulate immune responses.
7. Avoid refined sugar and processed foods – These increase systemic inflammation.

Note: Polymyalgia Rheumatica often requires consistent care and attention. While natural products can offer powerful relief and immune support, please consult a healthcare provider for a full diagnosis and ongoing care—especially if symptoms suddenly worsen or are accompanied by vision changes or severe headaches.
