There are studies that show that fasting can alleviate rheumatic complaints. It makes sense. Fasting changes certain biochemical parameters in the body, for example the pH value.
Fasting is not for everyone. Some patients do not tolerate it well.
TCM specialists asked themselves if there was another way and initiated a small study: they had a group of rheumatic patients fast and at the same time regularly bathe their rheumatic hands or feet in an extract of TCM herbs. The second group only received the bath and did not have to fast. The result: both groups felt better, the group that fasted and bathed felt a little better than the group that only bathed. Conclusion: Anyone who does not tolerate fasting well should at least take a rheumatism bath. The abstract of the study here:
A TCM doctor asked us if we could supply her with the hand bath according to this study. We contacted the Evang. Klinik Essen Mitte in Germany, where the prescription is used. Dr Thomas Rampp, the head of the Institute for Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese and Traditional Indian Medicine, was happy to provide information and referred to the above-mentioned study. It was carried out on patients with rheumatoid arthritis (older name: chronic polyarthritis). It was also observed to help with other forms of rheumatism.
