Natural Cures for Rheumatoid Affections
Rheumatism is the general term used to designate a whole range of medical problems that affect the heart, the joints, the bones and the kidneys. For instance there are more than two hundred health problems labeled as arthritis or rheumatism; the most common symptoms include swollen and painful joints accompanied by difficulty of movement. Traditional medicine recognizes a whole range of natural remedies that are recommended in the treatment of rheumatoid affections, being complementary to classic forms of treatment. The good part about herbal extracts is that they usually target a whole category of affections and don’t address a specific symptom.
Studies show that the extract of grapevine sprouts significantly improves the health condition of people suffering from affections of the bone system, joints and tonsils. For instance people frequently exposed to tonsillitis are very likely to develop rheumatoid problems in time. The grapevine sprout extract acts not only as an anti-rheumatic, as it also has an immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory action. The extract is usually prepared on glycerin, and it can be administered internally three times a day, according to your herbalist’s advice. Grapevine sprout extract works very well in association with juniper tree extract.
The juniper tree is one of the most common ever-green species growing all over the world. The juniper extract has an important role in the recovery of the joint tissues; furthermore, scientific research has proved its value in the treatment of osteoporosis and deformation arthritis. Juniper essential oil stimulates blood circulation and is great for local massage of the rheumatism or arthritis affected areas. Sore joints should be no longer a problem if you use juniper oil in combination with lavender and rosemary oil for daily massage sessions. Symptom alleviation is almost immediate, as soon as the active principles of the juniper extract come to act on the affected tissue.
In the same range of anti-inflammatory remedies we should also mention the black currants and the great extracts obtained from them. Besides being a great source of antioxidants, black currants contain gamma linoleic acid, the basic element in the formation of the anti-inflammatory hormones. Internal administration of black currant extract will increase body stamina, resistance to infections and will significantly diminish the pains associated with rheumatoid affections.
