A Brief Introduction To Arthritis Homeopathic Remedies


If you're suffering from arthritis, one of the ways you can relieve yourself from the pain and stiffness it causes is through the use of arthritis homeopathic remedies. These homeopathic remedies are considered safe to take, very effective, and without the side-effects that most conventional pharmaceuticals may have. This is particularly important when treating arthritis, because any remedy for arthritis should be safe for long-term use.

In fact, this is one of the reasons that people turn to homeopathic remedies: most conventional medicines, as effective as they are, do come with risks for side-effects when used over a long period of time. And, since arthritis is a disease with no known cure, any medication prescribed will be used over a long period of time. To avoid the risks of side-effects, people choose those with no such risks to begin with, like homeopathic remedies.

How do arthritis homeopathic remedies work? First, we have to take a look at how homeopathic medicine treats illness. In the most basic sense, homeopathy works on the belief that "like treats like." By this they mean that an illness or condition is treatable by using substances that would otherwise cause the same symptoms in a healthy person.

In the case of arthritis, the specific remedies that will be used will typically cause arthritis symptoms in a healthy person. There are, of course, other factors that practitioners of homeopathic medicine consider when they prescribe remedies.

On such consideration is that taking the substances that homeopathic medicine uses could be very harmful. To make sure the substances are safe, they use a process which is called dynamisation or potentisation, wherein the substance is diluted with either alcohol or distilled water that basically makes the substance less harmful. This dilution is then shaken vigorously in a process that homeopathy calls succussion. In this manner, homeopathic dilutions are made effective, and without any harmful side-effects.

The substances alone are not the core of homeopathic medicine, as important as they are to the treatment of an affected individual. Homeopathy also has a focus on proper, complete diagnosis of the individual. By this, they not only determine the illness and its causes, but also any possible emotional factors that could contribute to the sickness. Practitioners of homeopathic medicine often take into consideration much more than those who practice conventional medicine.

For example, the treatment of arthritis may also include the homeopathic practitioner diagnosing that the patient is also suffering from depression, and that the arthritis gets worse during cold, wet days. It could be determined that the arthritis gets worse because of the depression, and that the cold helps cause the depression itself. The prescribed remedy to treat the arthritis will also seek to treat the other ills of the person as well, including the depression, and that he feels worse on certain days, in order to affect a complete treatment of the person.

Arthritis is no doubt a very difficult disease to live with. It can leave you with severe pain and great discomfort. Arthritis homeopathic remedies can be one way to become free of that pain and discomfort, without dependence on conventional drugs and treatments.
