In this month's health topic I will focus on
Rheumatoid Arthritis (R/A)
.
Traditional Chinese Medicine considers R/A to be an accumulation of
Dampness and Internal Heat or Damp/Heat. Therefore, this time of year
will exacerbate R/A due to the extreme amount of Damp/Heat in our
environment. Symptoms include: pain, swelling, inflammation, redness
with heat. Medical treatment usually involves the use of steroids with
significant side effects.
Research has shown that "TCM" is very effective in the treatment of
R/A when combining Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. Patients with
R/A can help themselves by eating eggs, fresh garlic, onions, rice, wheat,
rye, pineapples, cherries and strawberries. They should stay away from
consuming meat, anchovies, asparagus, herring, mussels, mushrooms,
sardines, all dairy products, sugar and fried foods.
If you have R/A consider the Chinese Medicine way!
