Arthritis

Arthritis is usually divided into two main categories, inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative arthritis or “Wear and Tear” arthritis. Traditional medicine relies on anti-inflammatory medications to treat both types of arthritis although more powerful immune suppression drugs are often used for rheumatoid arthritis.

Holistic medicine offers several different types of supplements & herbs which when used in combination have been found to be as effective as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, but without the side effects of long-term medications. Elimination diets and detoxification methods with restoration of natural GI flora have been used successfully for inflammatory arthritis. Homeopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine can effectively treat arthritis. Yoga & Tai Chi Qi Gong are also exercises that can help with degenerative arthritis.
