I wanted to add something about kava kava which is also used for pain, headaches, etc. Like aspirin sometimes you just need to take it but over time it can cause problems. This is also true with certain plants and herbs. If you have a chronic problem you need to address the whole nature of it and not masking the symptoms. One of the downfalls of our society today is that we turn to pharmaceuticals as the quick fix, instance cure without allowing ourselves to see the long term effects this drug will have on our body and organs. Its rare to find a human who says, "I have arthritis and I am working on a long term plan to cure it." instead they will accept that they have a chronic pain issue, take anti-inflammatory drugs that have long term effects on their liver and overall well being. Pain alone can break your body and spirit.

But I do believe that herbs and plants (eating, juicing, whatever) is the key to optimum health and longevity. It's just not always easy to obtain for some or maybe lack of knowledge.
