The causes of rheumatoid arthritis and associated pain are still poorly understood.
It can occur at any time, at any age, and it affects not only the elderly but also the young. The course can be very varied. In 30% of cases it causes not only painful joints and limited mobility, but also severe disability over time.
However, countless studies have shown one important thing. That patients may experience an increase in symptoms as the weather gets colder
But why at this time? This is the explanation
> The cause of the pain is a change in pressure.
Rheumatism is a broad umbrella term covering nearly 200 diseases. What they all have in common is that they all involve a detectable but causeless, painful, persistent, and in most cases inflammatory disease of a body part or organ. However, the pain associated with the disease often increases in severity, including with changes in the weather.
This is due to changes in air pressure. The internal pressure in healthy joints is zero and is not affected by external air pressure. However, the pressure in a diseased, worn or inflamed joint is higher. This pressure is also affected by the rapid rise and fall of air pressure changes, which can lead to swelling and pain.
In addition, the damp cold effect increases muscle tension and spasm, which also leads to pain. The cold wind is mainly responsible for back and lower back pain, but poor circulation in the legs is a much bigger contributor to knee joint pain.
Options for pain relief
It is a well-known and accepted fact in the field of medicine that creams have been used for centuries. Their action is based on the fact that our skin – our largest organ – is a lively metaboliser, secreting and absorbing substances. This enables it to absorb the active ingredients in creams and deliver them to the subcutaneous layers.
The biggest advantage of a topical, massage-in cream treatment is that the active herbal ingredients in the cream are fully absorbed and act where they are needed. The best choice for herbal balms are those with high active ingredients.
One such product is HillVital MAXIMUM BALM for rheumatic-arthritic complaints.
It contains 19 special herbs that bring relief to our daily lives, not pain, but the joy of real light and carefree movement!
