There are all sorts of treatments on offer for the varying different kinds of arthritis. Many are medicinal and as such they’re vouched for by doctors, many are more holistic in their approaches and are vouched for by a great many people but not the scientific community on the whole. If you take 25 tested holistic arthritic therapies which are on offer and advertised to sufferers of arthritis on the whole only a bare handful of them have been shown to have any direct benefit for arthritic patients and many haven’t been tested at all. The worry here is that patients will fork out large sums of money due to flashy adverts or potent marketing only to find out the treatment they’ve bought into does nothing to alleviate their symptoms.
It’s important to remember that all people are different and as such any given treatment is going to affect them differently. This is true of verified medicinal treatments as much as it of holistic treatments. Doctors will monitor a patients reaction to certain treatments and on a failure to react or improve they’ll switch treatment. When it comes to holistic treatments it’s up to the patient to take the initiative. If something isn’t working for you then try something else. Most of the treatments don’t have much in the way of negative side effects beyond wasted time and therefore you could, given the right amount of time, try them all.
Another important factor to remember with holistic treatments is an open mind. It doesn’t matter if you’re treating arthritis or damaged karma, without an open mind and the belief that it could work nothing will happen. The human mind is a potent tool and has all sorts of restorative properties of its own. Sometimes a treatment which physically has no benefits may prove to be restorative simply because a patient fervently believes it will be.
