that can be used to treat arthritis naturally, causing minimal
side effects.
The technique of acupuncture has been used for centuries by the
Chinese. It is based on the theory that inserting hair-fine
needles along certain energy lines can help stimulate energy

nervous system to release endogenous, which acts as
pain-relieving chemicals. This can therefore help in reducing
pain.

trees, and using it in combination with massage, baths and steam
inhalation. The right mixture of essential oils can provide a

Egyptians and Chinese. It involves massage to the feet and the
palm of the hand to help improve the state of the rest of the
body. When massage will be applied to the feet or palm of the
hand, it will generate a warm and comforting sensation. This is
an ideal method for stress management and overall health
maintenance; factors that cause arthritis.
