Angelica is one such herb used in arthritis pain relief teas. It has numerous constituents to provide arthritis pain relief through anti-inflammatory agents, antispasmodics, and anodyne constituents. Anti-inflammatory compounds reduce painful irritation and swelling. Antispasmodics provide muscle relaxants. Anodyne constituents provide arthritis pain relief with their pain relieving effects similar to aspirin. The Western variety of Angelica is the same as the Chinese herb dang gui or dong quai, which have also been used for centuries for arthritis pain relief. One tablespoon of either variety boiled in a pint of water for two minutes and then kept covered until cooled can be drunk three times a day for arthritis pain relief. It is recommended to drink daily for two to three weeks, and then stop for at least one week.

Black Cohosh is another common arthritis pain relief tea. As with Angelica, this American Indian remedy has been used for centuries for arthritis pain relief. The root is simmered one teaspoon of root to one cup of water for twenty minutes. Strain and split tea into two doses per day. To properly manage arthritis pain relief, observe the same two to three weeks on, one week to ten days off dosing schedule as Angelica and other herbal teas.
