Heat for Muscles, Cold for Joints
Arthritis sufferers can find relief by isolating the source of their pain: is it in the muscle or joints? Heat can relax aching muscles by promoting blood circulation, which nourishes and detoxifies muscle fibres. So try a hot shower or a heating pad. Joint pain however, requires the opposite approach. Cold helps reduce soreness and swelling by constricting blood flow; So an ice pack on a sore knee can do the trick.

Compounding allows doctors and pharmacists to meet the special needs of patients. The most important benefit compounding offers is for those patients who may have difficulty taking or responding to commercially availabe medication. Some people are allergic or sensitive to preservatives and dyes, or are non-compliant to standard drug strengths. Others may have a hard time swallowing a pill, or react adversely to a medicine's taste. Working with the patient's physician, pharmacists can prepare medications in one of several unique delivery systems that are not generally available from pharmaceutical companies. The result? A way to take medicine that helps increase patient compliance.
