But you can get a good relief through Ayurvedic therapy. Isn't it high time you resist Arthritis? At Ayurveda Now , we would not only open your eyes , we will come with preventive measures also. Ayurveda not only cures but also it is a preventive. Do you know what is Arthritis? It may begin as slight morning stiffness. For the lucky person with arthritis, that's as far as it goes. But for millions of others, arthritis can become a disabling, even crippling, disease. Arthritis is a broad term covering many types of joint ailments. The ailments can be autoimmune disorders, infections, and the result of wear on the joints or simply inflammation. This may be acute or chronic. Generally though it is the inflammation or the pain associated with it that is treated regardless of the origin. In Ayurveda Arthritis is commonly known as ‘Amavata’ which means joints and vat is usually prominence cause in this disease. This is mainly caused by the production and circulation of a substance called ‘ama’ in the body. Improper digesting as well as metabolism produces this ‘AMA’ and it gets logged in joints to produce inflammation and pain. Warning signs of arthritis include:
Common types of arthritis include: Osteoarthritis Caused by normal wear and tear on the joints, this chronic condition is usually not serious. However a joint may degenerate to the point where replacement surgery is needed. Rheumatoid Arthritis A type of inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic condition caused by the body's immune system attacking joint-lining tissue. Infectious Arthritis Infectious agents include bacteria, fungi and viruses. This type of arthritis can affect anyone. Usually, prompt diagnosis and treatment results in recovery. Gout Gout is most common in men older than 40 and is caused by a metabolic disorder in which uric acid builds up in the blood and crystals form in joints and other places. Psoriatic Arthritis Bone and other joint tissues become inflamed, and, like rheumatoid arthritis, it can affect the whole body. Affects about 5 percent of people with psoriasis, a chronic skin disease. Likely to affect fingers or spine. Symptoms are mild in most people but can be quite severe. REMEDIES A good natural calcium and magnesium supplement may be helpful. Anti inflammatory and lymphatic herbs for the treatment of arthritis are cleavers, devils–claw, and meadowsweet. If there is muscle cramping or tension as well as joint pain, add cramp bark or valerian to the mixture. We suggest an herbal combination including equal parts of:
Make a decoction by boiling the devil’s-claw root in 1-˝ pints of water for 10 minutes. Reduce to 1 pint. Add the aboveground parts of cleavers and meadow sweet, cover and steep for another 10 minutes. Use 1 ounce of the total combined herbs recommended, and drink up to 3 cups daily. Exercise In the past, doctors often advised arthritis patients to rest and avoid exercise. Rest remains important, especially during flares. But doing nothing results in weak muscles, stiff joints, reduced mobility, and lost vitality. Now, rheumatologists routinely advise a balance of physical activity and rest. Exercise offers physical and psychological benefits that include improved overall fitness and well being, increased mobility, and better sleep. Joints require motion to stay healthy. That's why doctors advise arthritis patients to do range-of-motion, or flexibility, exercises every day -- even during flares. Painful or swollen joints should be moved gently, however. Strengthening and endurance activities are also recommended, but should be limited or avoided during flares. Arthritis patients should consult their doctors before starting an exercise program, and begin gradually. Exercises must be individualized to work the right muscles while avoiding overstressing affected joints. Muscle strength is especially important because strong muscles better support and protect joints. Several studies show that if you improve muscle strength, you decrease pain. Joints will probably hurt during exercise, but shouldn't still hurt several hours later. LATEST RESEARCH New treatments are likely to stem from better understanding of the underlying causes and destructive processes of the disease. Overuse, injury and obesity are contributing factors in osteoarthritis, and researchers have implicated a faulty gene in the breakdown of cartilage. Heredity plays a role in other forms of arthritis, too, increasing susceptibility in some people. Potential genetic therapy approaches are still far off, however.
