Herbal Formulations for Arthritis

Summary

Arthritis & rheumatism are among the most prevalent health issues in developed countries and affect people of all ages. The majority cases are chronic, progressive, and disabling. There is currently no cure for most of these, though medication and treatments are available to relieve symptoms, and prevent and reduce chronic disability.
