JRub Organic Massage Oil

Cox 2 inhibitor

We believe our joint massage oil that has been successfully used by arthritis sufferers for over 14 years could act as a Cox 2 inhibitor. Some may say that is a rash and unfounded claim, but unlike drug companies who test on animals our evidence is concluded from factual data received from satisfied users of our oil over a prolonged period. The most important fact that cannot be disputed is that the massage oil produced by Natural Botanical Solutions Ltd has NEVER received a complaint from any customer suffering from adverse effects from using this 100% pure botanical oil.
Natural Botanical Solutions' Joint Massage Oil is indeed an important natural source of Cox-2 enzyme inhibitors. In particular the phenol antioxidant C20,H26,O4 has been identified prompting the investigation for several other Cox related beneficial leads.

To understand the importance of Cox-2 you need to know about Prostaglandin and Arachidonic Acid.

Prostaglanin & Arachidonic Acid

Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid that is generally derived from the variety of linoleic acids present in natural food. It is stored in the membranes of body cells, ready for rapid, de novo synthesis of a spectrum of metabolites which act as mediators in:

Prostaglandins act in a manner similar to that of hormones, stimulating target cells into action. However, they differ from hormones in that they act locally, near their site of synthesis, and they are metabolised very rapidly. Another unusual feature is that the same prostaglandins act differently in different tissues.

Arthritis and rheumatism sufferers may know that prostaglandins have something to do with their particular condition. Prostaglandins can cause arthritis and rheumatism as well as alleviate the condition so there is considerable confusion.
The primary error is that people often just talk about prostaglandins in general. A patient may relate to a friend: "The doc told me that I have rheumatic pain because my body produces too much prostaglandins." And because of the name *prostaglandin* which clearly refers to the prostate gland, the patient, if male, may even think that something is wrong with the particular organ.
