Arthritis is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people older than fifty-five years.
There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal anatomy might contribute to the early development of osteoarthritis. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. There is also an uncommon form of gout caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This gout is known as pseudogout.
Why not choose the natural and herbal way to deal with it, which is again very cost-effective and realizable at home. www.herbsandcures.com is one such website that could be a ray of hope.
The site that you mentioned gives only a ray of hope. If one wants to bask in the full shine of Hope, I mean the full sunlight of treatment for arthritis, there is no better place than Kerala Ayurveda. Because this God's Own Country, is blessed with rains for six months in a year and the other six months is sultry with a lot of humidity. Ideal condition for the development of Vadams (arthritis) in the human body.
Ayurveda is successful in about 75 to 80 % of physical Vadams of all most all vareites in all humans except the Pidivadam of females.
Except the pidivadam in a female, treatment for Vadam in Ayurveda is cost effective, time consuming and with Pathiyams, - a 100% cure.
