(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 02, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Arthritis patients have their own ways of reducing the pain and suffering from their condition. Many use pain relief drugs, while others are relying on natural alternatives such as herbal supplements. In addition to these popular alternatives, there is also another option that is believed to help patients.
Experts recommend meditation to ease arthritis symptoms. This ancient practice is believed to be very effective in fighting chronic pain. Meditation can be very easy to practice and it doesn't require too much time or energy. It is even believed to be beneficial to one's physical and psychological state.
"Arthritis patients can choose how they respond and cope with the symptoms. They can stop pain from defining their lives and change the way that they see it," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
According to the National Institutes of Health Survey, there are more than 20 million people in the United States who practiced some form of meditation in 2007. A variety of relaxation techniques are believed to be very effective in easing pain, stress, insomnia and anxiety.
The techniques can be practiced alone or with groups initiated by a health care professional. One technique is deep breathing, which enhances relaxation. There is also another method called cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps people focus on positive thoughts. Other techniques include body scanning, yoga-based meditation, chanting, guided imagery and contemplative walking.
Steven Rosenzweig, M.D., an emergency medicine doctor, believes that there are three ways the practice can help patients. It lowers pain intensity, keeps the cycles of pain escalation moderated, and makes pain less intrusive on the patient's thoughts or life. Meditation allows individuals to realize that there is more to life than focusing on pain. It can help patients concentrate on the moments of pleasure and enjoyment.
Many people in the medical community agree that meditation or mindfulness practice can significantly help arthritis patients take control of their emotions and pain, as well as manage them successfully. There are even scientific studies that show meditation practice may have positive results on arthritis pain.
There are many natural remedies that may reduce the pain and other discomforts of arthritis patients. Some patients use natural alternatives, such as curcumin supplements, to help reduce pain. Arthritis sufferers who used this particular supplement have testified that they have indeed experienced significant pain relief and improved mobility (http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/product-reviews/B00JA4TLTI).
