Die Natur-Docs – Meine besten Heilmittel für Gelenke, Arthrose, Rheuma und Schmerzen

More and more people worldwide are suffering from joint diseases. Knee, hip, finger and shoulder arthritis have become common ailments and rheumatic inflammations are also on the rise. Conventional medicine has made numerous advances in the treatment of joint diseases, but mostly only in the field of operations, which would often not be necessary, and medicines, which are often fraught with side effects.
Far too little attention is paid to and use is made of the diverse methods of naturopathy for arthrosis, rheumatism and joint pain, which often occur as a result of our modern lifestyle: Lack of exercise, diet, stress, overweight. The spectrum of naturopathic treatment methods is surprisingly broad: from therapeutic fasting, yoga, special joint exercise techniques, medicinal plant therapy, Kneipp therapy to acupuncture, Ayurveda, leeches and cupping.

Andreas Michalsen, head physician for naturopathy at Immanuel Hospital Berlin and professor at Charité Berlin, describes the advantages and disadvantages of conventional and naturopathic treatment and recommends the best naturopathic therapies for joint diseases in detailed overviews.
