Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis isn't a single disease – it's a term covering over 100 conditions affecting the joints. The most common types include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout.
Types of Arthritis We Treat
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
- Autoimmune condition
- Affects multiple joints symmetrically
- Morning stiffness lasting hours
- Can cause joint deformity
Osteoarthritis (OA)
- "Wear and tear" arthritis
- Usually affects weight-bearing joints
- Worse with activity, better with rest
- Common after age 50
Gout
- Caused by uric acid accumulation
- Sudden, severe attacks
- Often affects big toe
- Red, swollen, extremely painful joints
The Problem with Conventional Treatment
Long-term use of NSAIDs and steroids can cause:
- Gastric ulcers and bleeding
- Kidney damage
- Increased cardiovascular risk
- Immune suppression (with steroids)
How Homeopathy Helps
Homeopathy offers safe, effective alternatives:
- Reduces Inflammation Naturally: Without gastric side effects
- Slows Disease Progression: Especially important in RA
- Improves Joint Mobility: Helps restore function
- Addresses Autoimmune Factors: Modulates immune response in RA
Commonly Used Remedies
- Rhus Toxicodendron: For stiffness worse on starting movement, better with continued motion
- Bryonia: For pain worse with any movement, better with rest
- Colchicum: For gout with extreme sensitivity to touch
- Calcarea Fluorica: For joint deformities and bone spurs
Complementary Approaches
Along with homeopathy:
- Gentle exercise (swimming, yoga)
- Anti-inflammatory diet
- Maintaining healthy weight
- Hot/cold therapy
- Stress management
