Depends on type: It depends on what type of arthritis you have. Soaking in warm water can give relief to painful joints, adding epson salts can help aching joints and muscles. If you have arthritis you should discuss with your rheumatologist what medications are best to control your symptoms. Some people find supplements helpful, discuss these options with your doctor.
