At Authentic Arthritis Asian Herbs, we believe in using the power of tradition—safely and wisely. One of the more complex herbs in our carefully balanced formulations is Strychnos, a plant known for its strong medicinal properties and centuries of use in traditional Asian remedies.

While its name may sound intimidating, Strychnos (used in very specific, controlled doses) offers valuable benefits for those living with chronic arthritis, particularly in its ability to target deep-seated pain, inflammation, and stiffness.

What Is Strychnos?

Strychnos is a genus of flowering plants, with certain species used in traditional medicine for their stimulant and anti-inflammatory effects. Historically, it’s been applied to conditions involving nerve pain, joint tension, and muscular stiffness—common in many arthritis sufferers.

In herbalism, preparation and dosage are everything. At Authentic Arthritis Asian Herbs, we use refined extracts of Strychnos in trace, therapeutic amounts as part of multi-herb blends that are safe, balanced, and effective.

1. Potent Pain Management

Strychnos is traditionally valued for its ability to stimulate the nervous system and relieve deep musculoskeletal pain. In small, expertly controlled quantities, it can help interrupt pain signals and reduce discomfort, particularly during flare-ups of severe arthritis.

2. Muscle and Joint Relaxation

Many people with arthritis experience tension around joints and muscles. Strychnos is known to assist with relieving that stiffness, helping the body relax, move more freely, and reduce strain on already inflamed joints.

3. Boosts Circulation and Responsiveness

Strychnos may also support healthy blood flow and nerve responsiveness, which contributes to improved joint mobility and tissue repair. This makes it especially useful in blends targeting both acute pain and long-term joint care.

4. Carefully Balanced in Herbal Formulas

Strychnos is a herb that demands respect and precision. On its own, it’s far too strong. But when used in precise doses and professionally formulated combinations, it becomes a valuable support in our arthritis-focused remedies—paired with calming, balancing herbs that ensure both safety and effectiveness.

By Nuchy & Paul Reeve

Paul, a hardworking Australian born and raised, knows first-hand the ongoing battle with Arthritis. Having suffered from multiple onsets over many years, Paul initially turned to traditional medications, only to find that prolonged use came with its own limitations and risks.

His journey took a meaningful turn when he met his wife, Nuchy, who grew up in Thailand, where natural healing practices have been passed down through generations. Together, they opened a successful Thai Massage business, where they helped countless people manage skeletal and muscular discomfort through traditional Thai techniques.

Working alongside sports doctors and listening to their clients, they noticed the rising tide of Australians seeking alternative options for Arthritis relief. With Nuchy’s deep knowledge of Thai herbal remedies — used for centuries in her family to care for older loved ones — the idea for Authentic Arthritis Asian Herbs was born.
