Herbal store "Gonitsvet" offers to buy mixtures of medicinal plants that help relieve pain and increase joint mobility. In the electronic catalog you need to find the corresponding group of ailments, then select a remedy based on the name of the disease and the desired effect of treatment. For example, the collection of herbs “Arthrosis, Gout” activates blood circulation, reduces the intensity of pain and helps to maintain activity into old age.
8 out of 10 people experience pain in the spinal column at least once in their lives. For 90% of people who consult doctors about this, they will receive a disappointing diagnosis: “Osteochondrosis.” These are dystrophic lesions of the cartilage and bone tissue of the “axis” of our body.
Our range of herbal mixtures will help cure diseases of the musculoskeletal system:
A collection of herbs for osteochondrosis are plants that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and blood purifying properties. The task of the components of the product is to remove toxins, waste and salts from the spine, reducing inflammation. The advantage of herbal remedies for osteochondrosis is the saturation of blood and bone matter with vitamins and essential mineral compounds.
Collecting herbs for arthritis, arthrosis, and gout provides treatment for diseases and their reliable prevention. The healing composition contains centaury, amaranth, St. John's wort and other valuable plants. They have received recognition in folk and official medicine due to their anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating and restorative properties.
A collection of herbs for joints is used internally and externally - for baths, compresses and rubbing. In each case, the phyto-mixture has a wide range of effects on the pathological focus. Redness, pain and swelling are reduced, and mobility in the joint area is increased.
Herbal mixture for gout (for compresses) - used independently and simultaneously with ingestion of the herbal mixture “Polyarthritis, arthritis, arthrosis, gout.” It has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, relieves swelling. For a compress, it is recommended to use the infusion warm, which helps remove salts.
Herbal medicine is no less effective than drug treatment, but there are far fewer serious side effects. Our herbal preparations for joints have already helped many people regain their ability to work, get rid of depression and lead an active lifestyle. Therapy with herbal mixtures is much cheaper than with pharmaceutical drugs.
Herbal medicine for joint diseases is a good addition to the main treatment. Many medicinal herbs, when properly prepared, have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, relieve pain and swelling. Some oral remedies can remove excess salts and cleanse the body, which is important for arthritis caused by metabolic disorders.
You can harvest herbs yourself and create compresses, ointments and medicinal decoctions based on them. Their active ingredients are often included in pharmaceutical preparations, so their use for joint diseases is quite justified.
Treatment of arthritis and arthrosis with natural medicinal herbs can be effective. But these diseases have different origins, so therapy should be aimed at eliminating different factors. It is impossible to conduct a complete diagnosis at home, so the use of herbal remedies should also be discussed with your doctor.
To understand how different the course of treatment will be for arthritis and arthrosis of different origins, it is worth analyzing their causes:
Attention! Herbal medicine should not be considered as the basis of treatment. The therapeutic course is prescribed by a rheumatologist based on the examination results.
Self-medication with herbs and ignoring a visit to the doctor and the use of methods of official medicine can temporarily alleviate the symptoms, but in this case the disease will become chronic, and then it will be much more difficult to cure it even with injections and tablets.
Not all medicinal plants are equally useful in treating inflammatory joint diseases. They contain different substances in low or high concentrations, but their action is aimed at relieving the inflammatory process. All these plants can be divided into groups:
Medicinal herbs that relieve inflammation are effective in treating arthritis. There are several categories of such plants depending on the active substance they contain:
These plants are stored in dried, crushed form. They are used independently or in the form of herbal preparations, from which infusions, decoctions or tinctures are then prepared.
Attention! It is necessary to harvest herbs at a certain period of the year when they contain the highest concentration of active substances - for some plants this is the flowering period, for others the autumn months (for example, if roots or tubers are used).
In this regard, it is much easier to purchase herbs and infusions at the pharmacy.
Cytostatics are a group of drugs that are used to treat cancer, but are also effective against rheumatoid arthritis. This type of joint inflammation is different in that its cause is associated with a disruption of the immune system.
Basically, all basic therapy for rheumatoid arthritis, including herbal origin, belong to the caryoplastic series. This means that they are capable of destroying cell nuclei, resulting in cell death. All such herbs can be divided into 2 categories:
Attention! Let me remind you that if you have any problem, you can seek advice from our specialists.
Medicinal herbs with a cytostatic effect are poisonous. Their action is aimed at destroying cells, so they are used carefully, strictly observing the dosage.
Antibiotics are drugs that are necessarily prescribed for infectious inflammation of the joints. They can be purchased at the pharmacy in the form of ointments, tablets or injections, but some varieties of plants have similar effects. Antibacterial herbs do not produce side effects, do not suppress the immune system and do not suppress the activity of intestinal microflora.
Important! Never use herbs and berries with antimicrobial effects for primary treatment. For reactive and infectious arthritis, an antibiotic must be selected to which the microbes that cause the inflammation are sensitive.
Among the most common means of eliminating infection are several:
Please note that wormwood and tansy are prohibited during pregnancy and childhood, and also require caution in use, as they contain toxic substances. Antimicrobial herbal remedies in infusions or decoctions are intended for oral administration; they can be combined with each other. Also, these components are often added to homemade ointments or compresses so that they act directly on the inflamed area.
Products for external use are necessarily part of a comprehensive treatment regimen for arthritis or arthrosis. They can be prepared with anti-inflammatory components, herbal antibiotics and vitamin supplements. Such preparations are represented by ointments, compresses and tinctures for rubbing.
Tinctures with alcohol or vodka are products that improve blood circulation, warm tissues and stimulate regeneration processes in joints.
Attention! Alcohol external remedies are useful for chronic inflammation, but in the acute stage they can only aggravate the situation, and for purulent arthritis they are generally prohibited.
The active ingredients of herbs penetrate deep into the skin and exert their therapeutic effects there.
Any types of rubbing are not prescribed for infectious arthritis. This procedure accelerates blood circulation in the inflamed area, and bacteria can spread throughout the body through the bloodstream.
Treatment of arthritis with ointments is one of the main areas of treatment. Pharmacies offer a wide range of these medications, but you can also prepare them yourself. Effective home remedies to treat joints:
Homemade ointments are effective, but they take a long time to prepare. So, the pharmacy sells ready-made external products based on cinquefoil and other herbs.
Some herbs have a pronounced analgesic effect. They are used as part of compresses, which are recommended to be applied overnight. The active ingredients of such compresses not only relieve pain, but also reduce inflammation and swelling. Some folk recipes for arthritis:
It is convenient to prepare compresses at home and leave them overnight. They are made from several materials, one of which must be waterproof (cling film), and the top one must retain heat.
Arthrosis is a chronic pathology in which articular cartilage is gradually destroyed. Treatment of this disease is based on relieving the pain that accompanies the patient when walking. Some medicinal herbs are recommended to be used internally, as well as added to compresses and baths:
The course of treatment for arthrosis will be long. With this disease, the cartilage may not fully recover, but herbal medicine will help prevent its further destruction.
Herbal infusions are a separate pharmaceutical form of medicine. They are crushed dried raw materials (roots, leaves, stems, flowers of plants), prepared at a certain time of the year, and all the ingredients are collected in suitable proportions, so you can only prepare and drink them at home according to the instructions.
Herbal preparations combine the active substances of different plants, therefore they are more effective than ordinary herbs. It will be difficult to prepare such medicines at home.
This is another remedy that is prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other joint diseases. It includes:
It is also available in the form of tea, which is brewed in a similar way to the Monastic Collection and consumed internally. The course of treatment is determined by the attending physician.
The collection contains sage, nettle, rose hips, chamomile, wormwood, yarrow and other anti-inflammatory herbs. It is used to treat many diseases and cleanse the body, in particular for inflammatory processes in the joints, including those caused by pathologies of the immune system. Instructions for its use:
Attention! The product is not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is also contraindicated in case of individual intolerance to any of the components.
The collection contains willow bark, burdock root, flax seeds, birch leaves, St. John's wort, thyme and other components. A medicine based on them is prepared as follows:
Treatment lasts at least 3 months. After completing the course, you need to take a break of several weeks, and then it can be continued as necessary. When it enters the body, the product has an anti-inflammatory effect, cleanses of toxins and waste, relieves pain and destroys some types of pathogenic microflora.
Take note of other alternative medicine recipes for the treatment of arthritis.
Herbal medicine is a separate branch of medicine. Doctors do not deny the effectiveness of herbal medicines, especially for the treatment of joint diseases. Moreover, many pharmaceutical preparations are made based on plant extracts. However, despite all the benefits of such methods, it is worthwhile to undergo a diagnosis of the disease and discuss the treatment regimen with a doctor.
Today we offer an article on the topic: “Treatment of arthrosis with herbs: herbal preparations for joints.” We tried to describe everything clearly and in detail. If you have any questions, ask at the end of the article.
Joint disease is not a rare reason for visiting medical institutions. If these problems are not corrected in a timely manner, they can cause loss of ability to work in the future, and even lead to disability. The causes of joint pain may be different, but the development of the diseases is identical. Often, when joint tissue is damaged, the joint tissue is replaced by scar, which impairs the function of the damaged joint.
In addition to medications, folk methods and medicinal herbs are also used in the treatment of joint diseases. Considering that chemical drugs often have various side effects, herbal treatment is a good alternative to drugs.
Painful sensations in the joints due to arthritis occur during their inflammation. Over time, arthritis can destroy the joint.
There are types of arthritis:
The recipes for tinctures and decoctions given below can be used for all types of arthritis.
Combine together approximately equal volume shares:
Leave in the refrigerator for two weeks. It is enough to drink 1 tbsp. l. before meals three times a day. Treatment with this tincture is quite long - 6 months. And with polyarthritis - even longer. With it, you can take the tincture until the sediment in the urine disappears and the joints become mobile.
Pre-prepare a mixture of herbs from the same amount:
Plants ground in a blender and thoroughly mixed in an amount of 2 tbsp. l., pour into a thermos with boiling water, and infuse for 12 hours. You should drink this infusion four times a day. Can be taken for up to three months in a row.
Arthrosis is a long-term disease. It is quite possible to alleviate the condition with the help of medicinal herbs. In addition to ingesting decoctions and tinctures, you can also use baths with the addition of senna. Almost any plant will do.
After staying in such a bath for about half an hour, the pain in the joints calms down. You can use this infusion for compresses on sore joints.
Dandelion is also suitable for treatment. You can use freshly picked flowers, as well as those prepared and dried in advance.
This infusion is rubbed on the skin over the sore joint.
This procedure is more effective when done before bedtime. The main thing is regularity. After a couple of months the pain will begin to go away. You can also alternate between rubbing and compresses from dandelion tincture.
Bursitis - or the accumulation of fluid in a joint occurs due to injury to the joint or under the influence of stress on the joint. After surgery, recurrence of the disease is not uncommon. In addition to limiting joint movement and heat, treatment with herbs and plants can be used.
Lightly beat off the cabbage leaf. Lubricate the joint with vegetable oil and apply the prepared leaf to it. This compress is done in the evening before bed. Do it for 30 days. Cabbage leaves can be replaced with Kalanchoe leaves.
Prepare an infusion of St. John's wort, burdock and yarrow.
Treatment is carried out for 10 days. After this, if the temperature of the diseased joint decreases, you can make compresses using this infusion.
Compositions for compresses for bursitis may have various ingredients. You can carry out this procedure with 3 tablespoons of alcohol, 2 tbsp. l. honey and one tbsp. spoons of aloe pulp. There are also good reviews from patients after using a compress of butter with propolis.
Along with drug treatment of chondrosis, herbal treatments are also successfully used. This leads to the most effective results.
Although the most significant treatment for chondrosis is physical exercise, herbal medicine is not contraindicated and can improve the condition of the joints.
Celery is used in the form of a decoction of its roots.
Pour celery seeds with cooled boiled water. After two hours, strain and take 1 tbsp. spoon 3 times a day.
A rub is prepared from bodyagi. For 1 glass of any vegetable oil, 2 tbsp is enough. spoons of powder from the plant. Painful joints are rubbed with the mixture, and then covered with compress paper and insulated with a woolen scarf.
Barberry tincture will relieve pain when moving. Roots and bark are used.
First of all, scoliosis can be treated with physical exercises that will help relax the spinal muscles and develop the muscles that hold the spine in the correct position. But the pain that occurs with a curved spine can be eliminated with the help of baths with the addition of medicinal plants or the use of compresses.
A compress made from an alcoholic tincture of dandelion or chestnut may be suitable for these purposes.
Another effective compress composition:
By mixing all the ingredients in a ratio of 2x3x1, you can immediately soak the bandage, apply it to the sore area and leave it on all night.
Taking baths using pine branches also helps relieve pain from scoliosis. Boil the pine branches for about twenty minutes in a large container. After steeping for four hours, you can add this to a bath of water. To carry out the procedure, you can take a bath for 30 minutes.
Heel spur treatment will not end after a single procedure. Long-term treatment will give a positive result only if it is maintained regularly. But it should be borne in mind that folk remedies can only relieve the inflammatory process and swelling, as well as salt deposits. It is impossible to remove bone growth using such means.
The frequency of pain with a heel spur is determined by the physiology of this disease. More often, pain appears after sleep and in the evening after exercise. During the daytime the pain decreases.
It is believed that walking bare feet on warm sand helps eliminate pain. But you can also apply finely grated garlic to your heel at night. One medium head of garlic is enough.
A compress with this composition eliminates inflammation and reduces pain. This compress can be used after two or three days if there is no burning sensation.
Rheumatism is a serious chronic disease that also affects the joints. After medical treatment, patients are sent to sanatoriums. During this period, you can apply treatment with folk remedies using medicinal herbs.
Violation of purine metabolism in gout can be normalized with the help of folk remedies and herbs. They are used both for internal use and in the form of lotions and baths. As an addition to treatment, it is mandatory to follow a gentle diet that excludes the consumption of foods that increase the formation of uric acid. Only in this way is it possible to restore the impaired metabolism.
The most appropriate prescription should be determined that will help improve the condition:
A signal of joint destruction is the appearance of a crunching sound when moving. In addition to drug treatment, which has a number of contraindications, you can use herbal treatment:
A decoction of dried herbs yarrow, eucalyptus, St. John's wort and wild rosemary.
Applying grated black radish to the problem joint helps.
If there is excessive deposition of salts in the joints, a positive effect is exerted by an onion in which the center is removed and birch tar is placed in it. The bulb is applied to the joint overnight.
Taking a decoction from a mixture of medicinal herbs is effective:
From an equal amount of herbs mixed together, take 2 spoons and pour 500 ml of hot water. Cook in a steam bath for 10 minutes. Drink this decoction 1 day in advance. Treatment is carried out for a month, then you can take a break for 30 days and take it again for a month.
Significant advantages of herbal treatment over synthetic drugs are the absence of complications and side effects. In order for all the components in the prepared drug to retain the active substances, it is necessary to strictly follow the preparation conditions, know the composition and dosage of the raw materials. You will find all the necessary information on herbal treatment for arthrosis (recommendations, recipes, important rules) in this concise and wonderful article.
For arthrosis the following are used:
Decoctions (teas) that are prepared by brewing or steaming a mixture of several components.
Tinctures, for the preparation of which herbs and plant roots are poured with vodka or alcohol.
Rubs are usually the same alcohol tinctures with the addition of ingredients that promote irritation and warming of the skin (oils, pepper).
Ointments made from animal fat or vegetable oil with the addition of a medicinal decoction or tincture.
Baths with herbs.
With arthrosis, articular cartilage is destroyed. The main symptoms of the disease are pain and limited range of motion caused by joint deformation. Plants will help alleviate the symptoms of the disease, enhance the effect of medications, stimulate the restoration of cartilage - they should have analgesic, relaxing, anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties.
The following have proven effective in treating the disease:
The necessary plants can be bought at the pharmacy, or you can collect them yourself - in folk recipes, available species are usually used. If you collect it yourself, choose the collection location correctly: it should not be close to a highway or a factory; the farther from civilization, the better.
This tincture can be made from one or more ingredients. Suitable for cooking:
It is necessary to pour 50 g of crushed plants into 0.5 liters of any alcoholic drink (40–50 degrees) and leave for half a month. Take 1 tbsp. l. 3 times a day. When treating arthrosis, this tincture can also be used as a rub.
Grind and mix in approximately equal quantities:
Pour 1 tbsp. l. mixture 0.5 liters of boiling water (this is the daily norm). After 12 hours, filter, take 0.5 cups throughout the day.
Pour the crushed herb into a jar, filling it a third, and add vodka or alcohol to the top. After a few hours, strain. The tincture must undergo a maturation process (about three weeks). For arthrosis, take 1 tbsp. l. 3 times a day (adding to a glass of water).
Pour boiling water over a mixture of stinging nettle, tricolor violet and birch leaves and leave for a few minutes. For 0.5 liters of water it takes 7–8 tsp. mixtures. Drink as a medicinal tea.
Place a layer of butter in a glass bowl about 2 cm, then the same layer of birch buds. Alternating layers, fill the jar to the top (in total you will need about 800 g of oil). In order for the oil to completely “pull out” (extract) the medicinal substances from the birch buds, the jar must be tightly closed and placed in an oven for a day at a temperature of 70–90 degrees. Then cool the mixture and remove the kidneys. Add 10 g of camphor to the oil extract. Rub the joint affected by arthrosis before going to bed, store the ointment in the refrigerator.
These folk remedies relieve pain well and restore joint mobility. The rub can be prepared by mixing in approximately equal proportions (here are 3 recipes):
Nettle leaves, juniper berries and butter.
Chopped horseradish root and lard or Vaseline.
Soda, salt, dry mustard and honey.
When using herbs for the treatment of arthrosis, you need to keep in mind that:
Arthrosis (osteoarthrosis, deforming arthrosis) is a fairly heterogeneous group of diseases, which are based on damage to the constituent parts of the joints . The main reason for the development of arthrosis is a change in cartilage tissue that occurs due to injury to the joints, excess weight, heredity, estrogen deficiency in women, and previous joint surgeries.
Arthrosis primarily affects articular cartilage , then deformation occurs in the bone located under the softened cartilage. Further, the degeneration process involves the articular membrane, ligaments, capsules and periarticular muscles.
Typically, at the initial stage of the disease, pain occurs periodically, only after serious physical exertion, and quickly passes. However, as arthrosis progresses, the intensity of pain increases, and the pain no longer goes away after rest, but often appears at night.
Since the reasons for the development of arthrosis have not yet been precisely established, popular medical literature often presents the hypothesis that premature “wear and tear of the joint” is caused by physical activity. Serious medical studies refute this erroneous premise and demonstrate with factual material that sports activities do not lead to osteoarthritis . On the contrary, any form of physical activity aimed at strengthening muscles, maintaining joint mobility and improving coordination of movements helps the body resist arthrosis.
Doctors recommend that all patients at risk for this disease (low physical activity, joint injuries and excess weight) perform exercises with measured stress on the joints. These include: cycling, swimming, climbing stairs and walking.
Moving on to the description of methods for treating arthrosis with the help of medicinal plants , it should be said that they help to achieve the desired result only in a general set of internal and external measures, ranging from proper nutrition to herbal baths and massages. Cartilage tissue in our body is restored extremely slowly and unevenly, so treatment of this disease can take more than one year.
An important auxiliary factor in the treatment of arthrosis is an increase in the diet of calcium , which is found in abundance in almonds and fermented milk products, as well as vitamin E, which is rich in sprouted wheat and oil from its sprouts (wheat germ oil). B vitamins are also extremely important for the treatment of this disease . Replace table salt in your diet with herbs that are rich in vitamins, such as cilantro, parsley and basil. But sour fruits - oranges, lemons and grapefruits should be completely removed from the menu .
When starting to take any herbal mixture, first be sure to familiarize yourself with the possible contraindications that the herbs included in its composition have.
Here are some of the simplest recipes, the ingredients for which can be found in any pharmacy:
• Mix 100 grams of aloe juice, 200 grams of honey with 300 grams of vodka. After leaving in a dark place for 3 days, make a compress and apply it overnight. The course of treatment is 10-12 days, repeated every other week.
• For compresses on the metatarsal joint, you need to take a burdock leaf and apply a thin layer of turpentine to its reverse side. Apply the sheet to the joint, cover it with polyethylene and secure with a bandage.
Common juniper is another useful plant for the prevention and treatment of arthrosis. Juniper needles and fruits help improve metabolism and have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect . The recipes for their medicinal use are very simple. To do this, you need to scald dry juniper needles with boiling water, cool and spread them evenly on gauze. After this, a compress is applied to the joint. It is covered with polyethylene on top, insulated with woolen fabric and left overnight.
Preparation of juniper fruit infusion for oral administration:
Pour 1 tablespoon of crushed fruit into 200 ml of boiled water, heat in a water bath for 15 minutes, then cool for 45 minutes and strain, squeezing the remaining fruit into the solution. Adults can take the infusion 1 tablespoon 3-4 times a day after meals, but not more than 2 weeks. Internal intake of juniper fruit infusion promotes the elimination of uric acid, which is extremely important for patients with arthrosis in combination with gout .
Boil 200 grams of juniper needles and fruits for 30 minutes in 2 liters of water, strain and add to the bath. The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes at a water temperature of +37°C.
Alcohol tinctures based on available plants have proven themselves well in the treatment of arthrosis - burdock root, comfrey , sweet clover herb, hops, wild rosemary, wheatgrass and thyme. They are prepared using traditional technology: crushed grass or roots (50 grams) are poured into 0.5 liters of vodka and left for 2 weeks in a dark place. After filtering, the solution is ready for rubbing and oral administration.
For internal use, we can recommend the following recipe:
I would especially like to cancel the powerful regenerating effect of drugs based on the roots of comfrey . This is one of the few plants that activates the processes of regeneration of cartilage tissue. The tincture prepared according to the above recipe should be taken for at least 3 months, 20-30 drops in half a glass of water 3 times a day before meals.
Collections consisting of several medicinal herbs relieve pain due to arthrosis well . For example, from birch leaves, nettles and tricolor violet flowers. Just pour 1 tablespoon of the dry mixture of these herbs with a glass of boiling water and heat it in a water bath for 15 minutes. Take the infusion 4 times a day, half a glass.
The regenerative properties of the bark of some trees are very useful in the treatment of arthrosis. To do this, take 100 grams of birch bark, 100 grams of aspen bark and add 10 grams of oak bark to them. Everything is finely ground in a coffee grinder, and then 1 tablespoon of the bark mixture is poured with boiling water, boiled for 7-8 minutes and filtered. Are receptions conducted at half-time? glass 1 time per day.
Calendula flowers mixed with willow bark , birch and nettle leaves mixed in equal parts are good for the treatment of arthrosis. Two tablespoons of this mixture are poured into 1 liter of boiling water and left for 12 hours. Drink half a glass of the decoction half an hour before meals 3 times a day. The duration of treatment is 2 months.
, marsh cinquefoil has taken a leading position in the treatment of joint diseases . An alcohol tincture from this plant can not only be used for compresses, but also taken orally, 0.5-1 tablespoon, diluted with one glass of water. The course is long - 6 months.
Compared to the therapeutic effect of taking cinquefoil, an alcohol tincture of the fruits of orange maclura . When treating joint problems, maclura is the first remedy. The maximum effect is achieved by combining the use of maclura tincture, maclura ointment and a water infusion of marsh cinquefoil (brew 1 tablespoon of cinquefoil stems with a glass of boiling water, leave for 1 hour, strain and drink in equal parts throughout the day). As you know, cinquefoil effectively relieves joints of salts, but often causes severe exacerbations, which can be mitigated with the help of maclura preparations. The effect of taking cinquefoil occurs after 4-6 months of use, maclura acts almost immediately, so combining these two remedies gives the most noticeable and lasting results even in advanced stages of the disease. As part of the treatment complex, maclura ointment externally on the joints of the arms and legs, as well as on the spine 2-3 times a day, rubbing vigorously.
Herbal baths with decoctions of not only juniper pine and fruits, but also chamomile, valerian root and St. John's wort, followed by a light massage of the joint, have a beneficial effect on sore joints. Ideal for such a massage: 30% Turpentine Balm - a mixture of vegetable oils with cedar resin (resin) or Maclura Oil (an infusion prepared by infusing fresh maclura fruits with any vegetable base oil for 2 months). Baths + rubbing can quickly relieve pain, providing a relaxing, anti-inflammatory and powerful local healing effect directly on the sore joint.
When using herbal remedies, it should be borne in mind that a course of herbal medicine brings improvement no earlier than after 3 weeks of regular use of herbal infusions, baths, rubs, and ointments. A lasting effect in the treatment of arthrosis in its early stages occurs only after 9-12 months.
Repeated courses of herbal medicine for osteoarthritis should be carried out after 1.5-2 months, as well as during the period of surgical interventions, respiratory diseases, in spring and autumn for 4-5 years. Reducing or increasing breaks between courses should be focused on the general condition of the patient.
