Devils Claw is also antiinflammatory. There is a liquid solution called
B&L Solution that I have used orally on my horses to great beenfit.

One can extract herbs with DMSO and use the liquid orally or topically.
Yucca is not hard to come by, nor should Devils Claw be hard to find.
Cover dry herb with DMSO, let sit for 30 days, shake every day. Dilute
to 10% if taking orally, 30-70% if using topically. Use CS to dilute as
the CS will also help rid the joint of any bacteria that may be causing
the arthritis.
