Pain, stiffness & effusion of the joints. Unless complicated no fever or systemic effects. Degenerative regression of the cartilage (shock-absorber) with secondary changes of other components of the joint is the basic disease-process. Modern medical Treatment - Steroid & non-steroidal anti-inflammatory chemical drugs those are known as pain killers to be taken life-long. These do not correct the basic disease-process but blocks the symptoms only -esp. pain relief. Alternative Treatment (Herbal): Ayurvedic medication arrests the de-generative changes in O.A & gives regeneration of the cartilage & associated joint components to regain the normal architecture of the joint. Naturally the symptoms have to disappear & no more pain killers or other types of medications thereafter. It is a real cure of O.A.

Cervical / Lumbar Spondylitis These are osteo-arthritis of spinal joints of cervical & lumbar regions. Here the straightening of the two curved regions of spine causes entrapment of the nerve roots emerging out of spinal canal. This gives neurological symptoms depending on the type of nerve. Cervical spondylitis causes sensory / motor symptoms of posterior head & neck, shoulders, upper limb regions as pain, numbness, burning, weakness etc. Giddiness on neck movements & inter-vertebral disc prolapse are later complications.

Panchakarma Panchakarma therapy, ("Five Cleansing Actions"), is the traditional Ayurvedic Method for bodily detoxification and rejuvenation. Traditionally, three of the five actions are designed for the three different body types. For Vata, generally the smaller-framed person, the cleansing method suggested is the medicated enema (Basti). For Pitta, generally the medium-framed person, purgation with special herbs is suggested (Virechana). For Kapha, generally the larger-framed person, emesis (Vamana) is recommended. The remaining two traditional cleansing methods are therapeutic release of toxic blood, and medicated nasal therapy (Nasya). A milder approach is to begin with an appropriated fruit and fasting diet for each of the three body types of constitutions, which will cleanse the digestive system. This is followed by an herbal oil massage (Abhyanga) to help surface toxins deeply embedded inside the body. This is followed by steam therapy which open the pores, allowing the toxins to be released. Another helpful treatment is the Shirodhara, where a continuous stream of warm herbal oil is dripped onto the forehead to purify the mind and body, and relax the nervous system. It is most effective when applied during meditation. The main benefits derived from Panchakarma therapy are: - Increased digestion, improved absorption and assimilation of all nutrients at the physical, mental and spiritual levels. - Deeper and more restful sleep. - Elimination of all toxins, poisons and memory of disease. - Rebuilding body tissues, promoting rejuvenation and longevity. - Normalization of the menstrual cycle. - Increased awareness and increased emotional and mental clarity. - Increased physical flexibility. - Deeper and more insightful meditation by teaching us how to discover the seat of divinity in the most embryonic form, thus creating a balance in all the different bodies. more information by www.dreddyclinic.com |
