Arthritis
Water Therapy :
We generally recommend doing
Water Therapy
to cleanse the intestines and liver
so that the root cause of arthritis is removed.
Drink 1.5 liters of water first in the morning, using mild amount of
flavors like ginger, cumin seeds, mint leaves, cardamom, coriander seeds,
Sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc) for better results.
Earth Therapy: Inflammation of body occurs when we eat
fiber-less foods. We recommend using
fiber
rich whole grains like
brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33%
fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley
flakes (26%).
Include more vegetables and fruits in your
diet.
