Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more of the joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which often get worse with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis causes cartilage, the hard, slippery tissue that lines the ends of bones where it forms a joint, to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, starting with the lining of the joints.
Uric acid crystals, which form when there is too much uric acid in the blood, can cause gout. Background infections or illnesses, such as psoriasis or lupus, can cause other types of arthritis.
Treatments vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. To treat them there are several home remedies that you can follow.
