The Nature Doctors – My best remedies for joints.
Osteoarthritis, rheumatism and pain
More and more people worldwide suffer from joint diseases. Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, fingers, and shoulder has become widespread, and rheumatic inflammatory diseases are also on the rise. Conventional medicine has made numerous advances in the treatment of joint diseases, but mostly only in the area of surgery, which is often unnecessary, and medications, which are frequently associated with side effects.
Far too often overlooked and underutilized are the diverse methods of naturopathy for treating osteoarthritis, rheumatism, and joint pain, which frequently arise as a consequence of our modern lifestyle: lack of exercise, diet, stress, and excess weight. The spectrum of naturopathic treatment methods is surprisingly broad: from therapeutic fasting, yoga, and specific joint exercise techniques to herbal medicine, Kneipp therapy, acupuncture, Ayurveda, leech therapy, and cupping.
