Rheumatoid arthritis​

h
Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common chronic inflammatory rheumatism. Because it affects the joints and causes the progressive destruction of cartilage and bones, rheumatoid arthritis has sometimes serious functional, psychological, social and professional repercussions.

Rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age, but it mostly occurs in people between the ages of 40 and 60. At this age, it is four times more common in women than in men. This difference between the sexes gradually diminishes and disappears after the age of 70.

What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?
Arthritis is the inflammation of a joint, and the term polyarthritis means that multiple joints are affected. The term rheumatoid refers to the fact that in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis it is possible to isolate substances called rheumatoid factors (antibodies directed against other antibodies of the same person). These rheumatoid factors are characteristic of so-called autoimmune diseases.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects all parts of a joint (unlike osteoarthritis where only the cartilage is affected). The inflammation caused by the autoimmune reaction leads to overproduction of synovial fluid. This fluid accumulates, the synovial membrane thickens and the joint swells. Nearby elements (capsule, tendons, etc.) harden and become painful. Erosion of the cartilage develops in the bones and the joint becomes increasingly stiff.

In the majority of cases, rheumatoid arthritis gradually appears in the wrists and joints of the hands and feet, sometimes in the knees or elbows. The affected joints are painful, red with a feeling of heat, and stiff. The moment when the pains are most intense is characteristic of inflammatory rheumatism: at night, when they wake up patients, and especially in the morning when waking up, with joint stiffness which disappears in the morning.

The affected joints are sometimes slightly swollen: for example, the fingers take on a spindle-like appearance. Frequently these symptoms are accompanied by more general signs: mild fever, fatigue, loss of weight and appetite, etc.

Treatments:
Cayenne peppers contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is the element inside chili peppers that gives heat and creates the pungent taste. While it might seem counterintuitive to put a spicy chili ingredient on a joint for pain relief, capsaicin lowers the amount of substance P, a neurotransmitter. Substance P is the neurotransmitter that sends pain signals to the brain, so when the amount of Substance P is lowered, so is the amount of pain.
• Cayenne pepper
• Olive oil
Crush the cayenne pepper in large quantities and mix with olive oil to obtain a paste. Heat this mixture a little for 5 minutes. Apply part of this paste 2 to 3 times a day on the parts of the body concerned, then massage well and keep the rest in the refrigerator. If it does not change after a week of use, it should be stopped. It’s natural and inconsequential.
