Herbs for arthritis

Arthritis is a disease that causes stiffness and pain in
body. The pain is so strong that you are unable to move
your hips and knees. There can be swelling and pain in your
joints and that will make you very uncomfortable in your
physical movement. It can also badly affect the other
organs of your body such as chest, eyes and skin.

There are two types of arthritis and those are
Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis
usually affects you when you are growing older. The old
pain and injuries, which are heeled in your past days, can
again get triggered by the disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis is caused when your body's defense
mechanism gets weakened; it affects bones, joints and other
organs. You may get severe pain and feel feverish and
tired. There are also various causes of arthritis; it can
be due to gouts in the body and infection to the liver by
viral hepatitis. Arthritis has spread its tentacles the
world over and the majority of people do suffer miserably.
There are different kinds of treatment for arthritis in the
field of medicine, but the traditional herb treatment is
found to be very effective and fruitful for curing the
disease. People have tried Chuchuhusai herbs and Iporuru
herbs to treat the disease and have received phenomenal
results in a very short duration.

The Chuchuhuasi tree has multi dimensional qualities. It is
found in the Amazon rainforest, where the bark of the
Chuchuhuasi has been used medicinally for generations by
the indigenous people of the Amazon. Chuchuhuasi is known
as "trembling back" because it was used to treat back pain
since ancient times. It is also a very well known jungle
drink to treat muscle aches and for enhancing vital energy
or stamina to enjoy sexual life. The Local healers of the
Amazon mainly use chuchuhuasi as a tonic for fast healing.
It is combined with other medicinal herbs for the treatment
of different ailments and diseases. The indigenous people
of Amazon boil the bark of Chuchuhuasi in very small
quantity and drink it to combat arthritis, different kinds
of aches, menstrual disorder, rheumatism and sore muscles.

Triterpenes, sesquiterpene and favonols alkaloids are found
in the Chuchuhuasi. Mayteine and maytansine are the most
important chemicals also found in Chuchuhuasi, which
enhance anti tumor activity. The treatment of Arthritis can
be done effectively by using chuchuhuasi herbs.

The Iporuru herb also has great healing and medicinal
qualities. The bark and leaves of Iporuru are used by
Amazon's indigenous people for curing various ailments and
diseases. In most parts of the Amazon, people tincture the
Iporuru bark and leaves with the local rum called
aguardiente. This is very good for arthritis, muscle aches,
and rheumatism.

The research and recent studies indicate that Iporuru
contains important elements like phenols, flavonols,
saponins, xanthones, tannins, and alkaloids. It is
important to know the nature and use of Iporuru and
chuchuhuasi herbs. The importance of these two herbs has
been well known from ancient times to the local people of
the Amazon. Due to recent exciting research these herbs
