Arthritis Certo Pectin Grape Juice

Concoctions with grape juice and pectin-containing gelatin powders, such as Certo, have become popular home remedies for those seeking arthritis pain relief. Available in any supermarket, these products are used for thickening jam. Some claim the Certo type remedies are helpful at reducing painful joints.

This home remedy for arthritis pain has generated almost as much mail as the gin and raisins. One newspaper column reader related that her grandmother had been using it as long ago as 1945.

Purchase Certo in the canning section of your local grocery. It is a thickening agent used to make jams and jellies. Certo contains pectin, a natural ingredient found in the cell walls of plants.

There are two recipes: Take 2 teaspoons of Certo in 3 ounces of grape juice three times a day. As the pain disappears, this can be reduced to 1 teaspoon in juice twice a day.

An alternate approach is to use 1 tablespoon of Certo in 8 ounces of grape juice once daily.
