rheumatoid arthritis

[Guest guest]

Hi Andi

I know more about ordinary arthritis than rheumatoid, but in the spirit of

posting

more to this list ... Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease, where your

body fights itself. You can use anti-inflammatory oils such as camomile, and

cleansing ones like juniper and lemon. Use them in massage and baths, and

compresses when there's inflammation as you can't use massage then. Diet plays

an

enormous role (as it does for all forms of arthritis), so see a good

rheumatologist.

There are some good homeopathic and Traditional remedies too,

so

it's a case of choosing the route that suits you and sticking to it.
