Arthritis is a disease of the joints. People suffering from this disease have a burning feeling, terrible pain and aching in their affected joints. There is swelling, redness, stiffness, and heat in the joints. There are several variations of arthritis. The most common types are the Rheumatoid arthritis, Gout and Osteoarthritis.
It is difficult to explain the root cause of all these kinds of arthritis as there are various reasons for it. For example, it could be due to a lack of proper diet, lack of proper exercise, lack of hygienic care, due to poor health and similar other factors.
In our country millions of people suffer from this vexing, torturous and disabling disease. It affects both male and female of all age groups. The most disheartening aspect of the disease is that it does not get easily cured through medicine when it is in chronic stages.
It is a common practice all over the world to give medicines and recommend physical exercises to the patients for curing this disease. Since therapeutic yoga is not yet well known to the medical practitioners they do not make use of it to cure arthritis.
In treating the patients of arthritis at our institute we have found that regular practise of some selected yoga asanas cures this disease within two months when it is of moderate type. In chronic cases it takes four to five months or more to cure and restore normal health. The most remarkable aspect of yoga treatment is that it cures the disease without the use of any medicine and it gives a permanent cure. Let me now explain the yogic system of treatment.
