Ayurveda
Ayurveda
This ancient healing method originated in India more than 5,000 years ago. Prevention rather than cures the key to Ayurvedic medicine. It encourages attention to harmony and balance in one's life through diet, herbs, lifestyle and meditation. Managing disease and restoring health involves assessing the whole person as opposed to a specific complaint. For psoriasis, a specific treatment regimen could involve: topical application of certain oils, fasting and cleansing the reduction of stress; and regular physical exercise.Manipulation
Several disciplines can be placed into the categorie of manipulation. Osteopathy and Chiropratic are similar types of joint manipulation techniques. They are useful in realigning joints affected by tissue inflamation but care must be taken not to adversely affect an inflamed joint in the process. They can be very useful if there is the appearance of trapped nerves and sciatica type pain but there is little firm evidence to support there use in the condition of PA. Massage of various types is very useful in relieving muscular pain and rehabilitation of joints once inflammation has died down.11.10.2009. 15:17
