N38: A Discussion on Degenerative Arthritis/Osteoarthritis and Homeopathy

Degenerative arthritis is the same as Osteoarthritis and is at the stage where functional changes during arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis begin to take on degenerative changes. |Remember that when allopathic medicine determines a disease, they take individuals with a similar set of common symptoms and take out anything rare and peculiar.  As homeopaths we take the common symptoms out of our repertory and have to find the rare and peculiar, as well as the pain and the modalities to find a well indicated remedy for our patient.  The joints change form and the pain becomes unbearable.  When there is a change in structure in the body, especially when there is pain and disintegration there are remedies like those in the Asteraceae family and in the Acid Remedies that do amazingly for this ‘more than pain, pain’.
