World Arthritis Day – War against pain

Pain is the most disgusting experience which has been haunting the mankind since ages unknown..may be it a physical or mental or emotional or a combination of all. Arthritis means “Painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints” The pain may extend on to the muscles and the soft tissues and may gradually encroach multiple organs depending on the type of manifestation of arthritis.

The scientifically advancing and technologically sound world has been constantly working to free the mankind from the clutches of this unwanted sensation..but still the disease takes a lead every time.

On the occasion of the WORLD ARTHRITIS DAY (WAD) we need to ledge to declare a stronger war on Arthritis.

 

Ayurveda stresses the effective combination, coordination and integrated approach of 4 essential limbs of treatment for an effective healing, namely Vaidya(a competent doctor), Dravya(very effective medicine), Upastha(selfless caretakers or an effective hospital and at home management) and Rogi(a humble sincere and polite patient). The same approach in the form of a team work might just help us to tackle this epidemic. We need to stress more on educating people about the disease and the importance of early reporting, the gross difference between prevention and treating an established condition. At the same time the common man too should cooperate within the system and participate in the spread of awareness and basic information to their counterparts.

Since Arthritis is more often a lifestyle disorder..the prevention is much in our hands before the doctor becomes mandatory in the equation. Corrections in lifestyle and food, time for exercise and to maintain fitness, Keeping ourselves and others updated about the disease and its consequences might save many bucks spent on destroying this ailment

Come let us all join hands to fight this crippling disease..Let us all dream to live happily and move freely..
