Arthritis consists of over 100 different conditions ranging from relatively mild forms of tendinitis and bursitis to chronic inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. The common symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness. The pain is a result of inflammation of the joint lining.Some recent researches have shown that homeopathic medicine is effective in the treatment of arthritis. A study entitled ‘Homoeopathic therapy in rheumatoid arthritis: Evaluation by double-blind clinical therapeutic trial’ published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology has found that around 82% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis experienced some degree of relief after an individualized homeopathic treatment. The research also highlighted that only 21% of patients who were given a placebo received a similar degree of relief.Dr. Brajinish Kumar at Honey Homeo Clinic, Punjab, says that the remedy that is devised with the type of physical symptoms and emotional characteristics expressed by an individual makes homeopathy a better treatment for arthritis.Source: Medindia
