Here are a few general recommendations that are helpful to most people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and joint pain. Rheumatoid arthritis is called Amavata and is mainly caused by, as the name implies ama, which are toxins from undigested food particles due to low Agni, and Vata Dosha aggravation. When I work with clients, I teach them how to prevent further toxins and how to get rid of them, this takes dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal remedies and cleansing programs developed to suit their unique and individual needs. Apply castor oil packs on affected joints for 20 minutes. Afterwards soak or wash the joints with a strong warm mustard seed tea or apply a poultice of ground mustard seeds for 20 minutes. Include more turmeric, ginger and mustard in your meals. Do not eat raw fresh fruits too close to a meal of solid foods, instead enjoy the fresh fruits at least 45 minutes before a meal or at least two hours after a meal. Avoid refined white sugar and refined white flour. Avoid ice cold drinks and foods. Leave 3-5 hours between meals without eating anything but fruits and drinking warm water and tea.

Love your joints. Literally tell them how much you love them, how beautiful they are and how well they serve you. Visualize a golden white light within your joints healing them and nurturing them. In addition for rheumatoid arthritis, drink 1 teaspoon hexane free castor oil in a cup of ginger tea every morning on an empty stomach for up to three weeks. Give these guidelines at try and then leave a comment below with your observations and how you feel. If this information is helpful, share it with your health conscious friends and family.
