TYPES AND REASONS: In short, arthritis is 'swelling of bones in the joint area'. There are not less than 90 forms of arthritis, which are caused due to varied reasons, including age,stress,hereditary factors, bacterial and viral infections, or a misdirected immune system.

SYMPTOMS:Arthritis is accompanied by mild to severe joint pain,joint stiffness, non functioning of joints, etc.

Now we will talk about various aspects of TREATMENT of arthritis!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Medications prescribed try to cure the causes of arthritis, but most of the times; causes are not much curable. In that case medications are given to reduce the symptoms and to prevent further deterioration.

However making certain lifestyle changes, will really be a relief for arthritis and many a times a cure as well!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOGA: is very beneficial in reducing joints pains and increasing the blood circulation of the joints.Few asanas and pranayams help giving long term relief to arthritis if done regularly.

Will sure be giving the images of these asanas soon.
PRANAYAM: Basic beep breathing for relaxation, Anulom vilom(deep breathing by alternate nostrils),are helpful as well.
These can be done as per your liking for minimum 1 minute each to as per your time availability.

HOME REMEDIES:

Hi guys;
Basically by nature I am a very pro 'health and fitness' person. That also is reflected in my pharmaceutical background. Lots of health problems in my childhood made me sensitive for health related issues.

I really have a passion of giving health related advice, indulging into health discussions, finding natural remedies for health problems and also ways to stay away from ailment.

I do have a great respect for these medicines, they are the best in exaggerated situations of ill health and also they give instant relief many a times. Having a pharmaceutical background I know the chemicals and ingredients the modern medicines are made from. With due respect to the great role that some of these modern medicines play, I also do worry about the side effects these medicines have. Here in my posts, we will discuss about ways to take less of medicines and decreasing dependency on them by making daily efforts to stay healthy. Of course we do to take medicines when we really feel to take!
