Yourwellness Magazine Follows Up Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week Announcement
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 22 July 2013 -- The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) has recently announced the advent of the first ever Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week in the UK. From Monday 24th June to Sunday 30th June, the week will be dedicated solely to raising awareness of RA – a disease that 690,000 people across the UK live with – and will specifically look at how young people get RA too.

With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine investigated alternative therapies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). According to Yourwellness Magazine, “Rheumatoid arthritis can be very painful leading many individuals to try various alternatives to alleviate the painful symptoms.”
Yourwellness Magazine outlined three alternative therapies for the treatment of RA pain:
1. Acupressure. This uses the pressure points of the body to reduce or relieve pain. Individuals that suffer from rheumatoid or any form of this debilitating disease often have pain in the hands, fingers, elbows, and neck. These areas can be affected by applying pressure to this point between the thumb and forefinger.
2. Diet. Natural and herbal substances can help soothe pain and some contain properties that may act as an anti-inflammatory remedies. The ‘Feverfew’ herb has been used by arthritis sufferers over the years, along with individuals that suffer from severe headaches or migraines. Blueberries are also useful for reducing inflammation as they are full of antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Spiritual healing. Prayer and spiritual healing is one of the most important alternative therapies for rheumatoid arthritis that an individual can find.
