Painful joints

I would like to pass on what I have experienced, as well as my husband and aunt.
A while back I ordered the 36 remedies that you show on this site. I have never been so satisfied with anything more, than I have with them!
The main one I will mention here is Rhus Tox 30c that came in the box of 36 remedies.
My husband had a very sore hand one evening...swollen knuckles/joints and warm. He figured he was in for a night of pain.He has had arthritis in his hands and elbows before, but not for a while now. When he was farming and out in the cold it could come on from overwork etc. He read the brochure that came with the box of remedies and decided to take Rhus Tox. Within an hour or less it was much less painful..the swelling had mostly gone down. By the next morning the swelling was completely down and no pain at all.
My aunt, who is 80, has had very painful hands..she has problems using a pen and opening jars etc. She has had this for years. She happened to be visiting last week and mentioned to me how painful her hands were that morning. She was trying to open her painkiller container, and I asked her if she wanted to try Rhus Tox first? She agreed. I gave her 1 tsp of Rhus Tox wet dose. We were visiting and about a half hour later I asked her how her hands felt? She looked up at me with such surprise on her face! She said...the pain was gone! I mixed up a bottle of Rhus Tox wet dose for her to take home with her. She since has told me that her hands started to hurt a few days later and she took 1 tsp of the Rhus Tox wet dose and once again, the pain went away within a few minutes. I actually was shocked, being she has had this so many years. Her actual arthritis is not gone...but the acute pain she gets goes completely away, when she takes it. I am hoping, in time, if she would continue to take it that her hands would have less arthritis? I'm not sure if I should ask her to take it every day or not? Or just when she feels the pain?
I have taken Rhus Tox myself also. I always get relief from it. I have an old back injury that is going to take time to reverse...but at the times when I do feel extra discomfort, Rhus Tox always makes me feel better.
I had another aunt that was visiting at the same time. She is 87 and has a lot of pain. She had shingles a couple years ago, that really bother her yet. Her knees are very painful also. I also sent Rhus Tox and Hypericum home with her in the wet dose. So far she hasn't noticed much help, but I am hoping that if she takes it longer, that soon she will notice some help?
