ARTHRITIS AND HOMOEOPATHY

ARTHRITIS AND HOMOEOPATHY

HOMOEO CALL Arthritis is often debilitating disease
triggered by many causes from metabolic changes to injuries The human body consists of joints,muscles,ligaments,cartilage,
tendons and bones which give the shape and structure and the
means of motion and it is these structures which are affected
in condition of arthritis.
Arthritis is varied and is usually due to the degenerative
changes that happen in the joints due to loss of Calcium from
the bones termed as osteoporosis and is classed under
Osteoarthritis.
Certain disease involving the other systems and organs of the
body can also have an impact on the joints like Rheumatoid
arthritis, etc.Infection is another cause like tuberculosis
that can cause the said arthritis to trigger. Metabolic changes can cause deposition of uric acid into the
joints and cause gouty arthritis.Last but not the least is
injury which can cause structural changes and set off early,
unwarranted changes leading to arthritis.Certain individual
afflications of the locomotor system are also known to cause
the condition.
The predominant feature of arthritis is pain.Pain as such is
the body''s alarm system that tells you something is wrong
when certain chemicals are released from the affected area
that reach the brain a01snd in turn causes a reaction.
Like if one happens to touch something hot, as a protective
reaction, the brain " pulls" the hand away.
Arthritis produces a sort of long-lasting pain which is
difficult to relieve.
To start with, arthritis causes an inflammation of the
affected joint leading to redness and swelling.
There by degeneration ensues and the pain only worsens as
there is afflication of the movement of the joints.
Pain over a period of time causes a fatigue and in turn makes
it harder to handle.
Increased disease activity causes significant pain but that
state can occur due to stress,anxiety, depression and increased
physical activity.
To manage the pain is the challenge and to start with heat and
cold applications,massage, appropriate exercises are all
necessary.

Exercise will help in strengthening the muscles around the
joints,keep the bones healthy,improve energy, self - esteem
and a sense of well - being. Along with the life style changes,homeopathic medicines can be used which have the potential to relieve pain, decrease
intensity and frequency, also work as a complementary in
chronic pain depending on the type of artritis.
Calcarea phos,Calcarea Flour, Symphytum, Asafoetida,
Ac.Flour are few remedies which have an action on the
Calcium metabolism of the bone and thereby keep them healthy.
Ruta, Ac.sulph, cuprum have an action on the ligaments when
they are involved in the pain cycle.
Rhus tox, Rhododendron, phytolacca have their seat of action
when the tendons are affected.
Arnica, cimcifuga, Gelsemium and Mag phos relieve the muscular
pain. Writer .........DR.VENUGOPAL GOURI
