"ARTHRITIS AND HOLISTIC TREATMENT"

 

There are several types of arthritis. The most common are Rheumatoid, Gout and Osteoarthritis.

     The main causes are difficult to explain but lack of proper diet, exercises and lack of hygiene are known cause in physical level. Imbalance of  Endocrine secretion is also a big cause of it. Swelling, redness, pain, stiffness, are the main symptoms in joints.

   Wind is the controlling power of our physical organs. With the veins and sinews the wind sends the essence of food to the different parts of our body and excreting the waste through stool, urine, and sweat. Thus it makes our body healthy, strong and beautiful.

  By any reason, the waste of metabolism are retained in the body for a long time- decomposition started and poisonous gas is formed. These poisonous gas and vitiated wind are deposited at the joints of the bones.

OSTEOARTHRITIS:

It is a chronic degenerative disease of joints with exacerbations of acute inflammation. Studies have shown that in the UK three and a half million people over the age of 65 suffer from the condition. Many working days are lost due to effect of  osteoarthritis. Both men and women are affected but the joint distribution pattern is different. In men- the order of affected joints is hip(most common), knee, spine, ankle, shoulder, fingers. In women- the order is knee, finger, spine, hip, ankle and shoulders.

    There is no obvious cause of  primary OA but secondary OA are caused by: Trauma, dislocation, infection, deformity, obesity, haemophilia, acromegaly, heredity, hyperthyroidism, poor posture, aging process,

defective lubricant, crystals  etc.

  Pain, muscle spasm, stiffness, loss of movement, muscles wasting and weakness, joint enlargement, deformity, crepitus and loss of function. During active inflammation- heat, redness, swelling and pain are found.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

It is a non suppurative, systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause characterized by a symmetrical polyarthritis affecting peripheral joints and extra - articular structures. It is an autoimmune disease . There are around 1.5 million people affected in the United Kingdom. Women are affected more than men in the proportion of 3:1. The age of onset may be as young as 16 years but is generally  in the 20-55 age group.

  There is generally a symmetrical peripheral polyarthritis with early involvement of the small joints of the hands and wrists. The cervical spine, elbows, knees, ankles, and metatarsophalangeal joints are often affected. The main features are pain, tenderness, swelling, warmth over the joints, loss of movement, muscle atrophy and deformity.

 Morning sickness, pain on movement or tenderness at least one joint, swelling of another joint within three months, symmetrical  joint swelling, subcutaneous nodules, Typical X-ray changes (loss of bone substance), positive SCAT, latex fixation: seven, five or three criteria present.

GOUT:

It is a form of inflammatory arthritis that develops in some people who posses high level of uric acid in the blood. The acid can form needle like crystal in a joint and cause sudden, severe episodes of pain, tenderness, redness, warmth and swelling. In acute case metatarsophalangeal joint of big toe  is involved.

      When Lumbar joint is affected called “Lumbago” and when muscles of neck are affected called “Torticollis”.  In all cases bowels of patient should be clear. Bhastrika Pranayama, Isabgol bran, Triphala powder (Amla, Harday, Bahala) are very useful for evacuation. Frequent cold or improper digestion damages the hormonal balance of thyroid, parathyroid and sex glands. Calcium and phosphorus are not digested in the body.

"KNOWLEDGE OF VERTEBRAL COLUMN OR SPINAL CORD"

VERTEBRAL COLUMN OR SPINAL CORD;

There are thirty-three  vertebrae :
A. Cervical vertebrae are seven in number. Of them the first one carries the weight of the skull and helps in moving the head in different directions and to bend the neck.

B. Thoracic vertebrae are twelve in number.They help in twisting and bending the body.

C. Lumbar vertebrae are five in number.They help in turning the body in a circular way.

D. Five vertebrae are fused into one and form the Sacral bone.

E. Four vertebrae are fused into one and form the Coccygeal bone.
     Though vertebrae form into a column they are not placed one upon another. There are gaps between every two of them. These gaps are filled up with cartilage and synovial fluid and spinal cord passes within it. In case of any damages or disturbances  to the spinal cord, the flow of electricity to the connecting organs is disturbed. Spinal cord divided in two parts from lumber ;one in right and other is left side of leg upto toes. Sometime nerves are damaged due to jerks, lifting of heavy things, wearing of high heeled shoes etc. and  pain goes to leg either posteriorly or sideways called sciatic nerves pain. So it is very essential to sit erect and do flexion and extension Exercises daily.

"TATTVA GYAN"

TATTVAA  GUYANA

To aware itself is the actual aim of this human life. Samyak Gyan, Samyak Darshan, Samyak Charitra and Tappa is the actual attainment of Sacchidananda. Gyan gives the knowledge of tattwas, Darshan gives believe on these tattvas and Charitra gives right way to live a life and Tapas gives holocaust to all our old Karma' According to Sastras men or women can attain this spiritual life only by complete sanctity, in which vital energy of human body  is converted to ‘Ojas’ energy. Swami Vivekananda says “like other sciences 'RAJYOGA’ is also a big science of analysis of mind where data is collected from the mystic world”. Mahabir, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad -all said that they had visualised the truth they preached.

 This direct realisation is gained through Ashtanga Yoga or eight process- 1.Yama(restrain),  2.Niyama(practice), 3.Asana(physical posture),4. Pranayama (holding the breathe),5.Pratyahara(indifference to external impression), 6.Dharana(steady abstraction of the mind), 7.Dhyana(reflection),8.Samadhi(deep meditation of God).Raj yoga opens all the layers of our mind one after another and reveals a new world to us with new energy. But we should not stop here as actual diamond mine or goal  is to reach hidden treasure of Sacchidananda God.
