Joints and Bones
Herbs have been long used to relieve aching backs, muscle spasm and tightness, damaged tendons and tight or lax ligaments. Often herbs are applied externally to bring relief from pain and inflammation.
In medicine the term for movement of the body is articulation, expressing beautifully and completely what the various connective tissues of the muscle/skeletal system do; our bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments combining and cooperating to articulate and give expression to the body, giving us our ability to enjoy freedom of movement by which means we express ourselves; to dance, to run, to bear weight, to make music, to give birth, to reach out a hand; all beautifully orchestrated and carried out by our muscle and skeletal system.

It’s not just about wear and tear
It is not surprising then at times and at certain points in our lives we begin to feel the effects with sore and tight muscle, joints that suffer with wear and tear, tendons and ligaments that become tight or overly fixed and more serious issues such as rheumatoid arthritis.
The medical herbalist’s method has many advantages for those using a heavy drug regime and for those who have adverse reactions to the drugs being used. For more information see THIRD AGE, and HERBS and DRUGS
For inflammatory conditions which affect the muscle and skeletal system such as rheumatoid arthritis again the approach is typically multi-faceted and is described at AUTOIMMUNE.
