Yucca for Arthritis

"Ouch" I've been suffering for the now second time in my life from an arthritis attack. Its in my foot. Gout? Maybe. In either case I tried many things: tart cherry pills, homeopathic remedies of great variety, enzymes. Finally the one thing that has proven effective is the yucca plan. I harvested and dried the root locally last year. I make a batch of tea each day by mixing it with other yummy tasting plants from the garden. I fill a mason jar and pop it in the fridge. A few times a day I chug a few gulps. It works!

Any particular variety of Yucca over another? My Osteo started in the big toe joint of my left foot about 20 years ago, and now its also in my fingers . . .
