How To Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis

According to conventional medicine, rheumatoid arthritis is an incurable autoimmune disease that causes generalized inflammation. However, there are preventative and palliative treatments that can greatly improve the quality of life of an affected person. In this article, we will review how to treat rheumatoid arthritis

In addition, we will investigate which natural treatments can treat rheumatoid arthritis from different points of view.

What is – and how to treat rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease whose symptoms include pain, inflammation, stiffness and loss of function in joints (fingers, elbows, knees, etc.).

• An autoimmune disease occurs when the body attacks itself as if it were a pathogen.
• It damages cells and healthy tissues, which ultimately affect a person’s overall health. For example, it can damage the blood, heart or nervous system.

Natural antidote

The following basic elements for the natural treatment of rheumatoid arthritis need to be covered: elimination of toxins, nutrition, immune system, relief of inflammation and balancing of emotions.

Elimination of toxins

Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is naturally based on a patient who has excess amounts of toxins in the body. Therefore, natural detoxification is the first step to improve the cleansing function of liver, kidney, skin and intestines.

There are many ways to remove toxins. It all depends on what suits you best:

• Diet with detoxifying foods: Garlic, onions, lemon, grapefruit, etc.
• Purifying medicinal plants: Dandelion, Boldo, Burdock root, milk thistle, etc.
• Juices, soups and detox smoothies.

Food intolerance

There is a lot of food intolerance due to poor quality food, bad habits and many other factors. However, it is important to always rule out the possibility that a person with rheumatoid arthritis may suffer from a food intolerance. It is not always a serious allergy. Although it may be due to susceptibility that causes long-term illness.

The most common food intolerances are those involving gluten and lactose. Although a person may not feel an immediate effect after eating these types of foods. However, the possibility of having digestive problems such as heartburn or flatulence may occur.

• The solution is to conduct relevant tests or to stop eating certain foods for a month.
• If your health gets worse after eating these foods again, it is likely that you have a food intolerance.

Immunoregulatory aids

Since this condition is an autoimmune disease, it is important to seek out aids that balance the immune system. Therefore, it is important to take these supplements as they will help cure you gradually.

• Omega 3 & 6
• Antioxidants (vi and E, beta-carotene, flavonoids, selenium and zinc)
• Shark cartilage
• Eucalyptus globulus
• Astralgalus rod
• Icelandic moss
• Tormentosa (cats claw)

• Shiitake mushroom
• Maitake mushroom
• Reishi mushroom

Anti-inflammatory bath

Medical baths relieve the overall inflammation that affects the joints and various organs.

• If you can visit a spa, we recommend that you take a dip in a sulfur spring. It has an anti-inflammatory and cleansing effect that is very beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis.
• You can also prepare a healing bath at home with baking soda or magnesium sulfate. Likewise, taking a bath for at least half an hour will give a good feeling of relief and well-being.

Emotional problems

Last but not least, in natural medicine, emphasis has always been placed on emotional factors that can affect, trigger or aggravate illness. Therefore, balancing your emotions can greatly improve a condition if you are exposed to it. In terms of how to treat rheumatoid arthritis, those affected have often gone through difficult and painful experiences.

Their personality is quite peaceful and friendly. Nevertheless, the conflict can rise from psychological abuse. People with this type of arthritis are unable to express their feelings and may become trapped in anger from a previous tragic event. They preferred to help others with their own traumatic experiences.
