Chronic pain limits your life. Whether it's the stiffness of Osteoarthritis, the burning inflammation of Rheumatoid Arthritis, or nagging back pain, conventional painkillers only mask the symptoms. At Naturopathy Bengaluru, we address the root cause: inflammation, toxin accumulation in joints, and poor circulation.
Our Multi-Modal Pain Management
1. Detoxification (Eliminating Toxins)
In Naturopathy, arthritis is often seen as an accumulation of morbid matter (toxins) in the joints. We use:
- Fasting Therapy: To stop the influx of toxins and allow the body to clean house.
- Mud Packs: Applied locally to swollen joints to absorb heat and reduce edema.
- Enemas: To clear the colon, as gut health is directly linked to inflammation.
2. Physical Therapies
To improve blood flow and reduce stiffness:
- Potli Massage: Warm herbal poultices tailored to your dosha to relieve pain.
- Steam Bath: Opens pores and helps eliminate uric acid through sweat.
- Acupuncture: The gold standard for pain relief without drugs. It unblocks energy channels (meridians).
- Physiotherapy: Gentle exercises to strengthen muscles around the joints without causing damage.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Diet
We prescribe a specific diet that acts as a natural analgesic:
- Eliminate: Sour foods, red meat, processed sugar, and nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes) if sensitive.
- Include: Turmeric, Ginger, Garlic, Flaxseeds, and leafy greens.
Common Conditions We Treat
Yoga for Joint Health
Movement is medicine for joints. We teach Sukshma Vyayama (Micro-exercises) which loosen the joints without weight-bearing stress.
Specific asanas like Sethu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) for back pain and Vrikshasana (Tree Pose) for balance and leg strength are introduced gradually.
