Here Are Natural Remedies For Fibromyalgia

By Kimberly Mitchell


Fibromyalgia is a form of chronic pain that affects ligaments and muscles in most cases. It is not classified as a type of arthritis because it is different in its characteristics. In most cases, the conditions will have been present for several years before its diagnosis by a doctor. That means that even people who have not been diagnosed with the condition may be having it already. Previously, the term fibrositis was used to refer to the condition. Below are some Natural Remedies for Fibromyalgia.

Fibrositis has been established as a genetic condition which means it is passed down from the parents to their children. This condition is apparent when the patient has gone through a stressful event in their life. These events may be in the form of mental, physical or medical stress. Medical stress may be as a result of an infection. On the other hand fibrositis is as a result of health conditions such as rhumetoid arthritis, systematic lupus and erythematosus.

There are many signs associated with this condition but the major one is pain. As of now, the logical explanation for the pain offered by scientists is that the body develops increased sensitivity to pain stimuli. There are lots of different factors which can trigger the pain including noises, stress, and weather changes. In the absence of these external triggers, then the pain cannot occur.

Typically, the pain occurs in the arms, chest, buttocks, shoulders, upper back, and neck. The condition is also associated with tender points on the body. These include the back, head, knees, elbows, shoulders, and hips among others. Additional symptoms include sleep disturbances, irritable bladder, migraine, tingling or numbness in the arms, and fatigue.

Fibromyalgia diet ranks among the top natural remedies for fibrositis. The aim of this kind of diet is to reduce or avoid inflammation. So far, this diet has proved to significantly reduce symptoms including gastrointestinal pain and symptoms. In addition, research conducted on this dietary treatment has confirmed its effectiveness.

This condition is believed to be caused as a result in magnesium deficiency. According to research symptoms for this condition can be controlled through intake of magnesium supplements. The patient is expected to take 300 milligrams of magnesium citrate daily for an eight weeks period. This has been seen as an effective way of reducing the number of tender points. These supplements have also been successful in dealing with insomnia, sleep time, sleep latency and sleep efficiency.

An anti-inflammatory property of fish oil is also known worldwide. As such, great improvement in inflammation and pain is observed if the patient is on high-quality fish oil supplement. Besides, the fish oil supplements also greatly improve the functioning of the immune system. Prior to taking fish oil supplements, the asthmatic and pregnant must talk to a physician. Also required to do the same are individuals on high blood pressure medications and anticoagulants.

Regular physical exercise has also been associated with improvements in symptoms for fibrositis. Patients, especially women should engage in flexibility and aerobic exercises on a regular basis. Acupuncture may also help with this condition even though research in this area has not been conducted in depth yet.
