Home Remedies for Arthritis.

The word 'arthritis' means 'inflammation of the joints'. It is derived from two Greek words:
athron, meaning joints; and itis, meaning inflammation. It is, generally, a chronic disease process.

Arthritis occurs in various forms, the most frequent being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which usually occurs in the older age-group.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious disease which affects not only the joints of the fingers, wrists,
hips, knees, and feet, but also the muscles, tendons and other tissues of the body.

The main symptoms of osteoarthritis are pain and stiffness in the joints. The pain usually
increases after exercise. Rheumatoid arthritis is often called the 'cooked food disease'. It usually
develops gradually over several months, with persistent pain and stiffness in one or more joints.
Ultimately the whole body is affected. Symptoms include anaemia, colitis, constipation, deformed
hands and feet.

Osteoarthritis results from structural changes in the "articular cartilage in the joints, usually those
which are weight-bearing, such as the spine and knees. Rheumatoid arthritis is due to an
inflammation of the synovium or lining of the joints. This is accompanied by swelling and
eventually leads to deformity. The condition may be caused by hormonal imbalance, physical and
emotional stress, infection, severe fright, shock, and injury. Hereditary factors may also be
responsible for the onset of this disease.
