FIBROMYALGIA Natural Cures and Remedies
Fibromyalgia is a chronic neuropathic pain condition. Below we see natural
cures for treating fibromyalgia, its causes and current medical treatments.
WHAT is the FIBROMYALGIA
It’s present in 2-8% of the population. It affects more women than men
and often coexists with sleep problems and fatigue.
In fibromyalgia ther’s a lowered pain threshold due to a deficit of pain
defense systems. There is no poor ability to tolerate pain: in fact, who suffer
from it are sometimes accused of this. Subjects feel that the whole body is
sore. When the condition is severe they describe this pain as burning or as
bites that run throughout the body.
Pain can increase in a sitting position, and, since any pressure gets worse,
ther’s no position that is truly relieving. There are often diarrhea (ambient
temperature is always unpleasant, in particular cold is feared and sometimes
there is shivering). The functions of many viscera are perceived as unwelcome
(feeling of bladder fullness, swollen stomach, colitis, feeling of heart
“beating faster”, tingling at night in hands and arms). But such ailments
would graduallydisappear with a natural remedy for fibromyalgia.
WHAT are the CAUSES of FIBROMYALGIA
Neuropeptides, such as substance P, stimulate mast cells to secrete
inflammatory cytokines and these cause symptoms of fibromyalgia.
There is also a serotonin deficiency. This alteration occurs in both
headache and other pains of primary fibromyalgia. Connection between
the aforementioned pathologies lies in the deficit of defense systems against
pain. In fact, there is a perception of not very painful stimuli (hyperalgesia)
or not painful ones, like stress or climatic variations (allodinìa).
HOW is TREATED the FIBROMYALGIA in the TRADITIONAL WAY
Current drug therapy uses anticonvulsant, antidepressants, with poor
results and many side effects.
WHICH NATURAL TREATMENTS for FIBROMYALGIA
Therefore, natural treatments for fibromyalgia are possible thanks to
action of herbal products such as Rhodiola rosea and Vitis vinifera which
have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and collagen stabilizing properties.
There are also other natural substances, like flavoproteins, NAD and
NADP. They contribute in a natural way to restore production of neural
transmitters by mast cells. In addition, all the aforesaid substances also
cause a natural increase in the serotonin level, rebalance the mast cells
and, therefore, restore normal condition of the immune system. All this do
of a natural solution a possible and necessary curative option.
