Chronic inflammation of the joints, caused by a number of reasons, is commonly called polyarthritis. This pathological process can occur simultaneously or gradually in several places at once, which greatly complicates the diagnosis. The disease develops over many years, which allows it to become chronic. Therefore, in order to cope with the pathology and stop its further development, it is necessary to use complex therapy, in which treatment with folk remedies at home plays an important role.

Features and types of disease

Polyarthritis is characterized by the inflammatory process of the joints, in which their shell is initially affected, and later this leads to deformation and destruction of cartilage. People over 40 years of age are at risk, but sometimes the disease develops in young people due to excessive physical activity (athletes).

Depending on the root cause of the inflammatory process, the disease is divided into several main types. Each of them has its own characteristics and characteristics:

Rheumatic. This type is characterized by accelerated development and is often a consequence of complicated sore throat or flu. The disease affects the small vessels of the extremities, but in the absence of adequate treatment it can damage the heart valve, which threatens the development of defects.
Crystal. Occurs against the background of metabolic disorders in the body. Damage to the joints begins when there is excessive accumulation of salt in them, which leads to the formation of cracks and ulcers. This type of polyarthritis primarily affects the big toe, and with further development, gouty nodules appear on the skin over the affected joint.
Reactive. The inflammatory process develops with a reduced protective reaction of the body and is most often diagnosed in young men. The cause of the appearance is a previous infection of the digestive system or its further spread through the respiratory and genitourinary system. This type of polyarthritis begins to develop 2–3 weeks after the infection enters the body. It often affects the lower and upper extremities.
Rheumatoid. The cause of the development of this type of polyarthritis has not been established for certain, but hereditary predisposition plays a major role. The disease develops slowly, gradually destroying the joints, which leads to bone deformation and muscle necrosis. Initially it affects the wrists and phalanges of the fingers, but in the absence of treatment it spreads to the knee, hip and shoulder joints.
Infectious. The development of the disease is caused by concomitant infectious pathology in the body, such as syphilis, tuberculosis, brucellosis, gonorrhea, scarlet fever. The variety can be recognized by swelling and stiffness of the joint.
Psoriatic. The disease causes swelling of the joints with constant aching pain. The root cause of inflammation is psoriasis. The pathological process initially begins with the synovium of the joint, and subsequently switches to the ligaments and tendons.

Let's move on to discuss the next issue.

Which doctor treats polyarthritis?

The first question that arises among patients is which doctor treats polyarthritis of the joints. If the patient experiences symptoms such as joint pain in the morning or when moving, swelling around the affected joint, redness of the skin and impaired motor activity, then you should consult a therapist as soon as possible.

The fact is that polyarthritis is a whole complex of pathologies that arise for a variety of reasons, and depending on the type of disease, different specialists will deal with its treatment.

Characteristic signs

The sooner polyarthritis can be recognized, the better for the body, as this will help prevent many irreversible processes. Therefore, it is important to consult a specialist at the first suspicious signs to confirm or refute the diagnosis.

The main signs of the development of polyarthritis:

aching pain of a periodic or constant nature, which increases significantly in humid weather or at night;
redness and swelling of the skin over the inflamed area;
local increase in temperature in the problem area;
crunching during physical activity;
deformation of the joints, which becomes clearly noticeable;
after hypothermia, pain in the joints intensifies;
immobility of the affected area;
deformation of the fingers with their further deviation to the outside.

Next, we will consider the rules for treating polyarthritis with folk remedies at home.

Natural creams and ointments

How to treat polyarthritis with folk remedies using ointments? Try these natural anti-inflammatory recipes.

Take 100 grams of regular salt and ground mustard seeds, add a little kerosene for viscosity. Mix all the ingredients to a homogeneous consistency and use it to rub sore joints with rheumatoid and rheumatoid arthritis.
To prepare this cream from natural ingredients, we will need: 200 ml each of freshly squeezed black radish juice, certified vodka and liquid honey, 3 tbsp. l. coarse salt. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and store in the refrigerator. Use for rubbing inflamed joints when slightly heated.
Treatment of polyarthritis with folk remedies at home necessarily involves the use of a substance such as turpentine. We recommend preparing this anti-inflammatory ointment based on it. Take 200 grams of turpentine, medical alcohol and olive oil, add 5 grams of camphor. Mix all ingredients, leave to brew in a cold place for 3 hours. Use to lubricate sore joints, after warming the product in your palms.
An aspirin-based ointment for quickly relieving inflammation and pain is prepared as follows. You need to crush 2-3 tablets, add a little lemon juice and iodine. Rub into inflamed joints every day for a week. After a week's break, therapy is repeated.
Take a new tube of any softening hand cream. Squeeze it into an enamel container, add 10-15 drops of oil-based vitamin E to the cream, 1 tsp. liquid honey, alcoholic tinctures of cinquefoil and red pepper. Mix everything until smooth, use for rubbing joints for rheumatism, rheumatoid and rheumatic arthritis.

Attention! For polyarthritis of the reactive (infectious) type, warming compresses should be used with extreme caution, after first asking your doctor for advice. The fact is that the warming effect can lead to the spread of infection and deterioration of the patient’s condition.

How to cope with painful symptoms?

It is possible to stop the further development of polyarthritis only by using several methods of therapy simultaneously. Therefore, it is necessary to combine medications with folk remedies, in consultation with your doctor. Separately, each type of treatment is not able to bring maximum effect.

However, treatment of polyarthritis with folk remedies should be carried out taking into account certain rules, which guarantees a positive result, so:

Treatment procedures should be carried out regularly in courses.
Upon completion, it is necessary to take a break for 2 weeks, and then repeat therapy using a different drug.
You cannot independently change the dosage of components when preparing medicinal products, as this may provoke a further deterioration of the situation.
When choosing a medicine, you must first study the composition and exclude drugs if they contain components that cause allergies.
You should not rely solely on traditional medicine, since you cannot get rid of the disease without changing your lifestyle and balancing your daily diet.

Let's move on to traditional medicine recipes.

How to relieve pain?

To relieve pain and relieve inflammation, a specific treatment regimen drawn up by the attending physician is used. Analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and glucocorticoids are prescribed. If infectious polyarthritis is diagnosed, then antibiotics are prescribed without fail.

But an excellent addition to drug therapy would be the treatment of polyarthritis with folk remedies. It includes the use of various alcohol tinctures, infusions, ointments, water prophylaxis (baths and saunas), and even cold.

Infusions and tinctures

Treatment with folk remedies has been practiced for a long time. Many plants and herbs have healing properties, and therefore they are used to prepare various tinctures for polyarthritis.

Several recipes:

Mix nettle juice, preferably freshly squeezed, with high-quality alcohol in equal proportions. It is recommended to keep the product in a cool, dark place for 14 days. Take the tincture orally for six months, 3 times 30 ml half an hour before meals daily. The active raw material is marsh cinquefoil - about 200 grams of roots and cinquefoil roots - about 100 grams. Chop all the roots and place in a glass container with a volume of at least three liters. Fill to the top with high-quality vodka and keep in the dark for 3 weeks. Drink the tincture one tablespoon a day 3 times before meals. Pour boiling water over elderberry flowers (about 10 g), willow bark (about 50 g), and birch leaves (40 g) and leave until cool. Use the product three times a day, 150 ml. All these components have the ability to stop inflammatory processes in the joints and help reduce pain and swelling. Grind 20–30 g of fresh poplar leaves or poplar buds, brew with half a liter of boiled water, and leave to cool to room temperature. Drink the infusion three times a day. The drug is great for reducing pain. Brew 2 tablespoons of crushed flowers of the plant with 0.5 liters of boiled water, leave for at least two hours. Drink 100 ml as a healing tea three times a day.

Before you start drinking tinctures, consult your doctor which one is best for you.

Decoctions

Decoctions are no less effective for polyarthritis. Many useful herbs are used to prepare them. Healing infusions, depending on their taste, can be drunk like regular tea.

Lingonberry leaves, chamomile flowers, wild rosemary, juniper and string are suitable for decoction. You can cook them separately, but a decoction from the collection of these herbs is very useful. Place one spoon of all ingredients in a saucepan with 0.5 liters of clean water and bring to a boil. Boil over low heat for no more than 2 minutes, wrap, wait to cool. The decoction is ready. The product turns out rich and fragrant. For ease of use, it is recommended to strain the broth. Drink 100 ml three times a day half an hour before meals.

Bay leaf

A decoction of laurel leaves brings relief to suffering joints. It perfectly cleanses the body of salts. It’s easy to prepare a decoction: in the evening, brew a few leaves in 300 ml of boiled water, cook for about five minutes over low heat. After cooking, the pan is wrapped. However, you can pour it into a thermos. You should drink the decoction the next day in small portions.

Compresses

Many rheumatologists advise their patients, in addition to the main treatment, to make compresses according to traditional recipes.

There is a non-standard compress to reduce the painful condition for the brave and patient. Pack the ice in cellophane and wrap it in a cloth made of natural material. Apply to the joint for several minutes (no more than five). After the procedure, you should remove the bag and do a light massage. After the massage, be sure to wrap the sore spot in warmth. The course of treatment is long, 20 days without breaks.

Doctors are hiding the truth!

It is not difficult to completely restore JOINTS! The most important thing is to rub this on the sore spot 2-3 times a day...

What other compresses are effective for polyarthritis:

Salt and herbs. Brew birch leaves, rose hips, knotweed herb with a liter of boiled water and keep in a water bath for about half an hour, then add salt (4 tablespoons). Moisten a wool cloth with saline solution, dry it and apply it to the sore joint. Fir oil and sea salt. Using a hot compress of sea salt (fill a regular piece of cloth or an old clean sock with sea salt calcined in a frying pan) you can successfully treat rheumatoid arthritis. To do this, you need to thoroughly warm up the sore joints for 15 minutes. Soak a clean paper sheet with fir oil, attach it to a heated place, and wrap it up. Use the compress with caution. Do not overexpose the compress - 20 minutes is enough.

Fir oil is often recommended to be used separately, gently rubbed into diseased areas of the body. After the procedure, rest is advisable.

A compress made from an oil or alcohol solution of propolis (1:10) will also be effective for polyarthritis. It will help you get rid of severe joint pain in the shortest possible time. It is recommended to apply a compress to the sore spot and wrap it in a woolen cloth for 40–60 minutes. The course of treatment is only ten days.

Another non-standard compress option is soft mittens. You will need winter gloves, plastic bags and salt. Soak the mittens in saline solution (a tablespoon of salt per 200 ml of water), wrap them in a bag and go to bed. Systematic use of such treatment helps reduce inflammation in the joints.

Ointments

Pharmacies sell many different creams and ointments that help with inflammatory processes in the joints. However, you can also prepare fresh ointment at home and successfully use it to improve blood flow and rub joints.

Several recipes:

Mustard ointment. You will need mustard (100 g), salt (100 g), and a little kerosene. Mix thoroughly to form thick sour cream and use as directed. It is assumed that rheumatoid polyarthritis will respond fairly quickly to treatment. Aspirin ointment. Grind two tablets of acetylsalicylic acid, mix with 3% iodine solution and lemon juice to obtain sour cream. After a week's break, you can repeat the procedure. Pepper ointment. Buy any hand care cream and an oil solution of vitamin E. Squeeze the contents of the tube (50 g of cream) into a glass bowl, mix with 10 drops of vitamin E, a spoonful of natural honey, a spoonful of hot pepper tincture and marsh cinquefoil. Gently rub into painful areas of the body. It is believed that rheumatoid polyarthritis relieves its aggression after a week of use of the ointment.

Be careful with ointments. If redness or other manifestations of allergies appear, consult a doctor.

Baths

Taking a bath is always a pleasant and healing procedure. Medicinal baths will help relieve inflammation, reduce pain, and stop joint deformation. For this purpose, it is advisable to use burdock, knotweed, pine needles, nettles, and birch leaves. Carry out the procedures daily for half an hour before bedtime.

Red clover and chicory have positively proven themselves in the complex treatment of polyarthritis. Take baths every other day, if desired, daily, for at least 20 minutes. The temperature of the bath should be pleasant for the patient's body. It is recommended to use similar procedures separately for hands.

Infusions, tinctures, decoctions

To begin treatment of polyarthritis at home, it is necessary to take oral medications that will strengthen the body as a whole and begin to fight the disease from the inside. Various herbal remedies will help with this. When preparing them, it is necessary to strictly follow the procedure and dosage of the components. The course of treatment is prescribed by the therapist based on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient. Let's look at some recipes:

Tincture of cinquefoil. Grind the plant collection and pour it into a dark glass container, filling it halfway. Fill the mixture with 70% alcohol to the top of the bottle. Seal tightly and leave in the dark for 20–25 days. Subsequently remove impurities. Use 30 ml for oral administration for advanced cases, and 15 ml for mild cases three times a day.
Herbal infusion. Grind all components in equal proportions: nettle, birch foliage, violet and parsley root. Pour 250 ml of boiling water over 15 g of the mixture. Leave the infusion for 15 minutes, clean. Take 4 times every day, drinking 50 ml of drink at a time.
Decoction. Mix sage, calamus, bearberry and St. John's wort in equal amounts. Next, pour 15 g of the medicinal mass into 250 ml of boiling water. Place the mixture in a water bath and simmer for 20 minutes. After time, cool and peel. Take orally daily, drinking 100 ml of the drink.

Let's move on to another method.

Effective recipes for infusions and decoctions

Even “advanced” joint problems can be cured at home! Just remember to apply this once a day.

This treatment will make it possible to restore cartilage tissue and prevent its destruction:

bay decoction. It effectively fights bacteria, inflammation in the joints of the phalanges, and eliminates salt deposits. To prepare, you will need 5 g of dried bay leaves, pour 300 ml of boiling water over them and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. There is no need to cover the container with a lid. The broth is poured into a thermos, where it is infused for several hours. It is better to steam the leaves in the evening so that the liquid is ready for use in the morning. Treatment of polyarthritis of the hands in this case is carried out as follows: the resulting product must be divided into small portions and drunk within 12 hours. You should not drink the entire volume of liquid at one time, as this may cause internal bleeding. You should not treat polyarthritis with this remedy if the patient has concomitant kidney pathologies, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis;
infusion of marsh cinquefoil herb. Such folk treatment will make it possible to preserve the integrity of cartilage tissue, reduce pain, and restore synovial fluid. For cooking, you can use both the plant itself and its roots. This will require 1 tbsp. l. crushed dried raw materials, pour a glass of boiling water. This folk remedy is heated in a water bath for about 10 minutes, and then additionally wrapped in a warm towel for another half hour. The finished infusion needs to be strained, the cake squeezed out and boiling water added to bring the total amount of the mixture to 200 ml. You can buy cinquefoil at the pharmacy. The pathology should be treated as follows: the infusion is taken one tablespoon three times a day. It is advisable to drink it after meals.

Treatment with these folk remedies helps to significantly reduce the pain and swelling caused by polyarthritis. At the same time, the joint is restored, blood circulation in the tissues improves. At home you can prepare the following remedies:

pine infusion. It is necessary to pour 3 tbsp. l. needles with a liter of boiling water. Cool the mixture to room temperature, pour it into a bowl and place your hands in it. You need to keep your fingers in the liquid for about 15-25 minutes. While taking such a bath or after the procedure, it is advisable to lightly massage each finger;
paraffin compress. It is necessary to heat the raw material to 50 degrees and slowly lower the joints of the hands into it. The fingers are removed for a few seconds. When the paraffin dries, you need to put your hands back into the heated mass. So, it should be repeated at least 5 times. This folk treatment warms up each finger well. And since the skin tightens slightly when the paraffin cools, this has a slight massage effect on each joint;

alcohol-honey compress. The alcohol, previously diluted in a 1:3 ratio with water, should be mixed with the same amount of honey. Next, the mixture is placed in a water bath and heated for 10 minutes. It is very simple to treat joints with this remedy: you need to moisten a cloth with the resulting liquid and wrap each damaged finger. It is best to use this compress at night, although in case of severe pain, daytime use is not excluded. The presented folk treatment can be used for a long time;
It is good to treat polyarthritis of the joints of the hands with compresses made from heated flax seeds. To do this, the raw materials are poured into a small bag made of soft fabric that will not scratch the skin, and placed overnight on each sore finger. The leaves of the plant can also be used for treatment.

Traditional therapy can cope well with polyarthritis if the joint is not yet severely deformed. Therefore, the most effective use of such drugs is considered to be in the initial stages of the disease.

Features of using homemade ointments

The presented folk therapy increases blood circulation, removes harmful substances from the body, and increases the effectiveness of the fight against polyarthritis. The following recipes can be used for rubbing:

The following remedy also works well against diseases such as polyarthritis. It is necessary to combine 50 g of mustard powder, the same amount of camphor and 100 ml of alcohol. 100 g of egg white is added to this mass. After this, all components need to be kneaded well. This ointment should be used once a day. You need to rub it into your fingers until it is completely absorbed.

Let's find out what else can be used to treat polyarthritis.

How to get rid of the disease at home?

Treatment of polyarthritis at home directly depends on the desire and efforts of the patient himself. Already at the first signs of this disease, you should immediately give up bad habits, quit smoking, drink alcohol, and switch to an active and healthy lifestyle.

Vegetable broths, carrot and beet juices, herbal teas and decoctions, rice, fruits, vegetables and legumes are useful for polyarthritis.

A significant reason for the development of this disease is considered to be poor nutrition. Sugar, salty, smoked and fried foods, spicy seasonings and alcohol contribute to the accumulation of toxic substances in the human body. One of the most important stages of home treatment for polyarthritis is diet. It should be aimed at saturating the body with minerals, vitamins and microelements. Patients with the described illness are not recommended to eat wheat and corn cereals, rye, oatmeal, citrus fruits, pork, and whole milk.

Cryoprocedures

Polyarthritis of the hands can be effectively treated with folk remedies, as well as other joints using cold. This helps eliminate swelling, pain and stiffness of movement.

To carry out treatment, you need to place ice in a bag and apply it to the sore area for 7-10 minutes. After removal, a kneading massage of the area should be performed for 10 minutes.

Reviews about the treatment of polyarthritis with folk remedies

According to doctors, it is possible to get rid of the disease and restore health only after identifying the cause that provokes its development. Therefore, diagnosis is an important step on the path to recovery. If an infectious type of polyarthritis is detected, treatment with folk remedies at home is not able to completely eliminate the pathological process. Therefore, it must be carried out only in combination with drug therapy.

With polyarthritis, the patients themselves call the symptoms and treatment with folk remedies interrelated and recommend listening to the opinion of their attending physician.

Polyarthritis is a serious disease that can subsequently lead to disability, so you should not ignore the first signs and delay treatment. First, it is necessary to identify the root cause of negative changes in the body in order to stop their further development with the help of medications and traditional medicine.

Polyarthritis is one of the diseases that are characterized by simultaneous or sequential inflammation of several joints.

Since the disease occurs due to various reasons, the symptoms of polyarthritis and its course may be different.

Causes of polyarthritis. Types of polyarthritis.

It is customary to distinguish three main types of disease. Depending on the type of polyarthritis disease, it is decided how to treat it. The first, and most common type, is infectious polyarthritis. It almost always occurs against the background of an untreated infectious disease.

Crystalline polyarthritis, otherwise called metabolic polyarthritis, is caused by metabolic disorders. Popularly known as gout. A very painful type of polyarthritis, but how to treat this type is well known.

And finally, rheumatoid or systemic polyarthritis. The causes of this type of polyarthritis have not yet been determined. Perhaps this type of disease is provoked by injuries, allergies, auto-allergies.

What happens to joints during polyarthritis?

The membranes surrounding the joint, like the tissues of the joint itself, contain a large number of nerve endings and various blood vessels. This structure causes easily developing inflammatory processes in the joint. In this case, inflammation develops in response to both external and internal influences.

Timely diagnosis of polyarthritis.

As practice has shown, polyarthritis begins completely unnoticed. Initially, a slight swelling appears in the joint area, which is initially attributed to simple swelling, bruises, or injuries. Later, pain is added to the swelling. The disease may be accompanied by increased fatigue, weight loss, and fever.

It is very important at this stage to correctly diagnose the disease and determine its etiology. Only with the correct diagnosis and timely initiation of treatment for polyarthritis, it is possible, if not to completely get rid of the disease, then to achieve a significant improvement in the patient’s condition.

Symptoms characteristic of a particular type of polyarthritis require different treatment.

If the diagnosis is not made in a timely manner, the disease will progress: muscle drying, joint deformation, and damage to internal organs are possible.

If you do not seek help in a timely manner, the patient may acquire permanent dysfunction of the joints and, as a result, disability.
