Chow against rheumatism

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects the joints and bones. People with this condition experience pain, stiffness and inflammation when the immune system attacks the membrane that lines the joints, eventually destroying cartilage and bone. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs help to slow its progression and minimize joint damage.

 (Natural Remedies)Foods against rheumatism:

Ginger has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. It is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine as a treatment for a variety of conditions, including the common cold, toothache and motion sickness. Ginger also possesses anti-inflammatory properties and is sometimes used to alleviate symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. It contains a number of active compounds, including volatile oils, monoterpenes and amino acids, although which of these compounds is responsible for ginger's anti-inflammatory effects is unclear. Ginger may be eaten raw or taken as a tea. For convenience, it is also available in capsules and tablets. The University of Maryland Medical Center states that taking 2 g daily, in divided doses, may help to alleviate pain and inflammation.

Probiotics against rheumatism:

Probiotics are considered beneficial and are sometimes referred to as "friendly" bacteria. Some of the ways they are thought to promote health include suppressing the growth of potentially harmful bacteria, improving immune function, enhancing the protective barrier of the digestive tract, and helping to produce vitamin K.

Boswellia:

Boswellia is a herb that comes from a tree native to India. The active ingredients are the boswellic acids, which have been found to block chemical reactions involved in inflammation. It is used by people with rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Although there have been a couple of preliminary studies that suggest boswellia may reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, we need more research to know whether it's effective. There is also no evidence that it can slow disease progression like some conventional drugs for rheumatoid arthritis.

Gamma-linolenic Acid:

Although there is more evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may improve symptoms of rhematoid arthrits, some studies suggest that gamma-linoleic acid, another type of essential fatty acid, may also help. It is found in borage oil, black currant seed oil, and evening primrose oils.  A review of studies by researchers with the respected Cochrane Research Collaboration concluded that there was some potential benefit for the use of gamma-linolenic acid in rheumatoid arthritis, although further studies were needed.

Note: The above agents listed in the blog to act against the rheumatism may produce some interactions with the anti-rheumetoid drugs, so I urge the patients to consult your doctor.

Natural and Wonder counteractant for Gout !

Gout is a condition in which, the kidneys feel to much to eliminate the excess uric acid present in the body which inturn leads to the accumilation of uric acid in the blood. Gout generally leads to inflammation in the joints and severe pain. It is a form of arthritis. In rare occassions the depositions in the joints become so large that they even push the skin and form lumps.
 
Middle aged men are generally the targetted preys for this condition. The general conditions that lead to this condition are alchohol consumption etc.. but most of them are prone to this condition with no reason.

Foods like milk, meat, cafeine, etc.. are to be avoided. Meats that are particularly rich sources of uric acid such as organ meats, sardines and anchovies are to be avoided.

The Wonder Remedy for Gout:

Eating cherries  in all forms - fresh, or as cherry juice, or in the form of tart cherry extract. Laboratory findings at Michigan State University suggest that ingesting the equivalent of 20 tart cherries inhibits enzymes called cyclooxygenase-1 and -2, which are the targets of anti-inflammatory drugs. These are the enzymes responsible for the inflammation mechanism which are inhibitted by the cherries.

Cherries are extremely safe, effective and fast-acting for eliminating swelling and pain. Eating just a few cherries a day keeps uric acid levels in check, preventing any recurrence of gout. Cherries even gave a enlightened hope for crippling gout, and made people walk who were confined to the wheel chair.

substances in cherries called anthocyanocides, are very effective at lowering uric acid levels. In some conditions, people have experienced declination of pain and stiffness in just one week after ingestion of cherries everyday for one week.

 

I thus conclude and urge all the people who are prone to this condition to opt natural ways to get rid of this crystal arthritis rather going for some chemical advocates.
