RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune

systemic disease, with chronic evolution. It
is a severe inflammatory process primarily
involving capsule and cartilage of the joints,
epiphyses, tendons and ligaments, causing
deformities in joints and constant pains,
reddening and heat in the affected areas. In
late stages, the patient is impaired by
ankylosis of the joints and very intense
pains; the inflammatory process also
involves the internal organs.

Rheumatoid arthritis starts by inflammation of the membrane lining the joint

(synovitis), as response of the immune system to a local infection, to deposits of dead cells or
toxins that cannot be eliminated from the body any more. The infection of the synovial
membrane triggers the antibodies’ reaction of destroying the pathogen elements. However, by
an immune misreading, the antibodies will also attack the articular tissue, developing towards
the bones, ligaments, muscles and internal organs, unless an appropriate treatment is followed.

This erroneous immune reaction also occurs where there is a genetic predisposition; it
is triggered by such environment factors as: viruses, bacteria, action of certain toxins, a much
polluted living environment, and action of certain chemical agents.

In order to arrest the inflammatory process and the decay of the articulations, the
acupuncture doctor must remove the effects of triggering factors and restore the deteriorated
tissue areas.

By acupuncture, phytotherapy and tibetan thermotherapy, the local metabolism and the
vascularisation in the affected areas will be quickened and the toxins as well as the cell
residues will be taken by blood and lymph to be removed from the body. Thus the
inflammatory process is arrested and the pain intensity will decrease. After the stages of

cleansing of the inflammed areas, follows the regeneration of the affected tissues. Certain
herbs and the elements they contain are combined, in order to manage the regeneration of the
cartilagineous and osseous cells and to restore the articular structure in the late stages.

Unfortunetly the treatment cannot be applied if the structure of the ligaments is

completely destroyed.

Acupuncture is a complex system of Accordingly, metabolic rhythm and local
