Arthritis Natural Treatment

Arthritis natural treatment is possibly the safest way to recover from the disease. The word arthritis is derived from the Greek word 'arthron' meaning joint and 'itis' meaning inflammation. The very condition of inflammation of joints is known as arthritis. The incidence of arthritis is more prevalent among aged people than young individuals, as because the joints of the elderly men turn weak and brittle due to years of wear and tear.

There are about hundred types of arthritis out of which only two types commonly occur. They are the Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Both the types of arthritis are highly painful in nature and gradually spread to all the other joints across the body. Osteoarthritis is a bone degenerative disorder where the cartilaginous pad of the joints gets damaged and the head of the bones forming the joints are exposed to frequent friction. Heavy weight bearing joints like those of knees, spines and shoulders are mainly affected by Osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is the result of auto-immune disorder. It is characterized by the inflammation of the synovial membrane of the joints and consequent erosion of the cartilage resulting intense pain.
