Homeopathy is an alternative treatment that gets to the core of arthritis. Changing your diet can also help. Ayurveda is another treatment method, use of herbs, spices and diet can help. In Ayurveda they believe that illness starts in your inability to digest food, if your digestion is working, many illnesses can be prevented or treated.
