Effective Natural Home Treatments For Arthritis
By Krishan Bakhru
According to the modern medical system, there is no cure for arthritis and the patient must learn to
live with it. Naturopathy, however, believes in dietetic cure of the disease. Most chronic arthritis
patients are heavy eaters and often take food furnishing 3,500 to 4,000 calories. As they cannot utilise
all the starchy elements of this intake, toxins accumulate and an excessive acid waste results in the
aggravation of prevalent joint condition. A low-calorie diet, consisting of about 2,000 calories with a
minimum carbohydrate content, is advisable. The diet should, however, include an adequate amount of
vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and iron.
The diet of the arthritis patient should be planned along alkaline lines and should include fruits and
vegetables for protection and proteins and carbohydrates for energy. It may consist of a couple of fresh
raw vegetables in the form of salad and at least two cooked vegetable, Cabbage, carrot, celery,
cucumber, endive, lettuce, onion, radishes, tomato, and water cress maybe used for raw salad. The
cooked vegetables may include asparagus, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, celery, brinjal,
mushroom, onions, peas, spinach, squash, tomatoes and turnips.
In severe cases, it will be advisable to put the patient on vegetable juice therapy for about a week.
Green juice, extracted from any green leafy vegetable mixed with carrot, celery and red beet juices, is
specific for arthritis. T
