Discover our new range of phytotherapeutic products to effectively treat your joint problems.
In their physiological state, bone and cartilage tissues are subject to constant renewal; erosion and destruction are offset by construction, creating a dynamic equilibrium.Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, for example, correspond to a breakdown in this balance.
At joint level, the most frequent factors leading to cartilage degradation are biomechanical overstrain. Condrolysis can then exceed healing capacity, leading to chondrocyte cell death, cartilage degradation and gradual disappearance.
Other causes of joint damage are biochemical (or biological), as in rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory rheumatism that destroys cartilage, as well as the surrounding synovial and ligamentous tissue. There may also be a genetic component to cartilage degradation.
Cartilage damage is accompanied by changes in the subchondral bone, in the form of deterioration, and in the synovium, with an inflammatory reaction. Clinically, this translates into acute or chronic pain, limited joint amplitude and locoregional trophic disorders, which may even lead to demineralization.
However, not all osteoarticular pain is arthritic or arthrosic in origin. Muscle tone plays a major role in maintaining posture, as does the quality of muscles and tendons in osteoarticular functional capacity. Musculoskeletal disorders include disorders of the periarticular structures: muscles, tendons, nerves, ligaments, bursae, joint capsules, vessels, etc. They result in pain and functional discomfort in the spine and upper limbs (wrist, shoulder, elbow, etc.), and more rarely in the lower limbs (knees). Cervical sprains, lower back pain, tendinitis, enthesopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome are the most frequent manifestations of musculoskeletal disorders. Their onset and aggravation are mainly work-related, but are also associated with leisure activities (sport, DIY, gardening, etc.).
Trophic factors play a major role in the structural support functions and metabolic activity of osteoarticular connective tissue, as well as in the quality of bone mineralization. They play a part in repairing trauma, in bone growth, and in preserving skeletal quality as we age.
Joints are fragile parts of our skeleton. Rheumatism, osteoarthritis and deterioration are common occurrences. Phytotherapy has all the weapons needed to prevent or even reduce the effects of these problems.
With age, professional and personal habits, joints are subjected to severe wear and degeneration (osteoarthritis, rheumatism...).
A joint is a piece of bone that "connects" 2 bones. To enable movement (often the sliding of one bone over another), there is a protective layer called cartilage. It also acts as shock protection (thanks to the synovial sac separating 2 cartilage surfaces). It's the key element in our ability to move normally.
The various joints are the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, elbow, wrist and also the spinal column, made up of vertebrae interconnected by small joints.
Constantly under stress, our joints are fragile and can suffer from pain and stiffness. It's important to look after and maintain your joints to avoid the effects of aging.
In the case of joint problems, phytotherapy offers all-natural solutions that are both effective and free of harmful side-effects. Their effect can be immediate and effective. These plants have anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. They can be used as a complement to medical treatment. Phytotherapy is your ally in relieving rheumatic pain and increasing the movement of joints affected by the disease. You can use plants to reduce joint pain and protect your cartilage.
Our joints are complex structures, made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and other tissues. Injury or damage to a joint can affect any one of these structures, making it difficult at times to pinpoint the source of pain. Often, all parts of the joint are affected and become inflamed.
Although a one-off accident (exceptional effort to lift a heavy object, extreme twisting, etc.), a degenerative disease (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc.) or an infection can cause damage to one or other of these tissues, the most frequent cause of musculoskeletal disorders remains the practice of repetitive movements. These movements cause mild traumas which, over time, end up damaging the tissues that connect the muscles to the skeleton.
Certain symptoms are common:
