Natural Alternatives to Anti-Inflammatory Treatment - Part Two
Anti-inflammatory treatments can do your health a great deal of harm, by suppressing your immune system.
Inflammation is a normal, natural and very healthy process your body takes after an injury or other type of trauma.
Inflammation is a swelling of the affected part, which restricts movement, if it is in a joint.
Pain is a normal accompaniment.
This swelling is protecting the joint from further damage, is preventing your continued use of the joint, while healing takes place.
If the process lasts a long time, it can also be an indication that your immune system is struggling to do it's job.
Let's assume, for the sake of this article, that the process has come about from an injury to a joint, your knee.
If Arnica was taken immediately after the injury, in the correct potency (strength) and with the optimal number of doses, most if not all the healing will be complete is a very short time.
However, with joints, there is the possibility of damage to nerves, tendons, ligaments and bones, so more detailed treatment is likely.
If Arnica has done all it can do, but the inflammation remains or returns, then it is probable that another homeopathic medicine in needed.
Ruta is a common home prescribing medicine that works by stimulating your immune system to heal tendons, ligaments and the periosteum (lining of the bone, to which ligaments attach).
The typical symptoms you will have is a weakness.
It feels as if the knee will give way and you'll fall.
Although you may feel a stiffness in the joint, the dominant feeling is one of weakness.
Inflammations are indicated by the 'itis' at the ends of words describing the condition such as tendonitis and bursitis.
Instead of thinking of the effect, the inflammatory process, focus on the cause, an injury, and your symptoms, the weakness.
That will lead you to the best medicine to heal both very quickly.
Ruta can also be successfully used after chronic over use of tendons common in sporting people and animals, especially horses.
The weak tendons mean joints can easily dislocate, including the vertebrae of your back.
Ruta will restore the strength, if indicated, keeping the joint firmly in place once more.
