Homeopathy for arthritis, is an holistic treatment for what is normally a debilitating condition, if it is treated with drugs. While drugs may alleviate pain, and inflammation, they merely prop up the patient, leading them to think the drugs have benefited their condition.
Arthritis drugs do not cure the condition, for they are prescribed according to presenting symptoms, they are not applied holistically. Because rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, the patient is given drugs to block the activity of the immune system, so leading to less pain, and less inflammation.
Does it seem logical to block the activity of the immune system? You may answer yes, for it is the immune system that it attacking you, so it seems like a good idea to slow it down, and in some cases, with some drugs, block it altogether.
An homeopath would ask you why do you think your immune system is attacking you? Why do mostly women get autoimmune diseases? One might be forced to stop and consider that there may be an emotional component involved in this disease.
So how would the homeopath treat rheumatoid arthritis? Firstly a long history would be taken, mostly 2 hours long. During this time the homeopath would be questioning, and observing all of your reactions as you relate your medical and life history.
The homeopath would be on a search for the trigger which may have set your immune system against you. It may even have been triggered by a virus, but mostly there will be a strong emotional component involved.
If causation is found, then follows a search for a suitable remedy. The homeopath has to be mindful of the disease being treated, so as not to cause undue aggravation to the patient.
The treatment will need to be slow and gentle, and if the chosen remedy is suitable for the patient, the feedback from the patient will be positive. Firstly the patient will report that they have started to feel happier, more energetic, they may still have pain, but somehow they feel much better.
This is holistic treatment, cure starts at the center, and radiates outward, slowly and surely cure takes place. The patient’s own immune system has been triggered by the change of mindset. The saying goes: “Change your mind, and you change your life”.
