50 Home Remedies to Relieve
Arthritis
Arthritis, one of the oldest diseases known to mankind,
is the inflammation of one or more joints. It occurs in all races at
all times. Decline in joint function generally begins at age 30. No one really
knows the exact cause of this painful and disabling disease. However, there are
two theories:
1.
Infection
2.
Body's own defenses go out of line and
attack its own tissues.
Also experts believe that emotional stress plays a very
important role in the cause of arthritis.
The most
severe case of this crippling disease is RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. Factors relating
to it are fatigue, shock, injury, and exposure to cold and dampness. At times
nodules may show up under the skin, around the elbows, wrists and fingers, and occasionally on the ankles. The control
of this particular type of arthritis may require the cooperation of a
physician, a physical therapist, an orthopedic surgeon, and often the physician
who specializes in psychosomatic diseases. Rest is considered one of the most
essential factors in treatment which includes emotional rest. Diet need not be
too restrictive, but should be rich in animal proteins, calcium , iron and
adequate in vitamins. At present, many arthritic patients have been taking
aspirins as a temporary pain-reliever with good results in some cases. Some patients also are given physical treatments with
heat and water (bathing and whirlpools), finger-tip massaging, and other
methods which an expert physiotherapist may use.
Remember this - PEOPLE DO NOT DIE OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
