How to treat rheumatoid arthritis with herbs and roots

This disease is not uncommon. It occurs in one form or another, regardless of age. This disease is caused by inflammation of the connective tissue with the involvement of most of the joints, but it also happens that the heart is affected, causing rheumatic heart disease. It is no accident that they say that rheumatism licks the joints and bites the heart.

The onset of the disease can be acute and caused by a previous streptococcal infection (tonsillitis, pharyngitis, scarlet fever). In this case, the temperature rises again to 38-39 ° C, severe pains, redness and swelling of the joints of the extremities appear, appetite is lost, and weakness is felt. Often, joint damage is of a short-term nature. The manifestations of the disease seem to suddenly disappear, but after that the heart - its membranes (myocardium, endocardium, pericardium) can be affected. Rheumatic lesions of the valves can lead to their deformation and the formation of heart defects. Therefore, attention should be paid to the disease, and medicinal herbs should be an essential component of a healthy lifestyle.

A prerequisite for preventing exacerbations of the disease is the elimination of foci of infection in the patient's body, including the treatment of sinusitis. In this case, silver water has a very effective effect, which is prepared by passing a direct electric current of low voltage through silver electrodes. Physical culture and hardening of the body are also a very important condition for protecting the body and preventing disease.

Low-salted food is recommended for rheumatism, purulent processes in the lungs, obesity, diabetes mellitus, allergic conditions, bone fractures and diseases of the cardiovascular system and kidneys. In addition, lightly salted food is useful for diseases of the pancreas, liver and biliary tract, some diseases of the stomach, as well as in cases where hormonal drugs are prescribed for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.

It has been noticed that in many cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the benefit of traditional medical remedies is small, since modern medical treatment does not affect the entire disease in its entirety. Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are mainly prescribed. Such treatment suppresses the symptoms of the disease, but enhances the action of the factors that contribute to its progression.

In particular, the permeability of the gastrointestinal tract increases, which causes such serious phenomena in the stomach and intestines as ulcers, bleeding, and the formation of holes in the wall of the organ.
