To keep up with the ever changing active lifestyle of today's generation, we need our healthiest and most active self to go with it. However, this is hindered by bouts of pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. It is a good thing that treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is now readily available to alleviate the pain and discomfort.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that results to a chronic inflammation of the joints and tissues that surround the joints. This is categorized as an autoimmune disease because basically, autoimmune diseases occur when the tissues in our body are attacked by our own immune system.
The cause for rheumatoid arthritis and the reason why our own immune system attacks our own body is still elusive. Even with many years of research and studies, experts have only found out some potential causes. These potential causes are genetics and environmental infections.
In this disease, the immune system does not just attack the joints and the tissues that surround the joints but it can also affect some of the vital organs of your body such as the lungs and the liver. Many experts also believe that excessive tobacco smoking can trigger rheumatoid arthritis.
Depending on how severe the inflammation is, the symptoms of rheumatoid vary. When the tissues in our body are inflamed, this is the time that this disease is most active. The symptoms can also include chronic fatigue, lack of energy, lack of appetite, fever, and muscular and joint pains and stiffness.
There is remission when the tissues ease up and do not cause pain and discomfort. This can happen when there is religious treatment of this condition. These symptoms disappear and feelings of well being are promoted.
To make remission possible, there are a number of conventional treatments that a person can utilize. Generally, the use of drugs is involved on the treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. However, the use of potentially addictive drugs causes many people to shy away from this treatment.
It is a good thing that natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis is available now and patronized by many people suffering from this condition.
One of the most popular natural treatments is the use of an herb called Devil's claw. The root of this herb can help reduce the inflammation of the tissues that connects our joints. In doing this, it drives away uric acid that causes inflammation.
Dandelion is also popular because it can also help banish the presence of uric acid and strengthen the tissues. You can take this in tea, capsule or juice form.
The juice of Dong Quai root can also relieve muscle and joint pains most especially during cold and damp season where the pain is more intense.
