Enemas for Arthritis

Monday, February 9, 2009

The patient suffering from Arthritis should be given a lukewarm enema for a few days to cleanse the bowels. Neutral Immersion baths, ultrasonic diathermy , hot foot baths, and exposure of the affected parts to infra-red rays, , stream baths, a knee pack applied for an hour every night and a massage once a week are beneficial in the treatment of arthritis. All general cold water treatments, such as cold baths and cold sprays, should be avoided. Also helpful is the warm bath. Ensure easy ingress and egress from the bathing tub to maintain the benefits of bathing. Limit the time in the bath to 30 minutes a day.

I agree that enemas help with arthritis pain I take them a couple times a week during the winter when the pain is the worst.
