Tendonitis natural remedies

Tendonitis is caused when the tendons in your body are overused or suffer some injury r else some infection. Advancing age causes the tendons to lose their elasticity and this causes Tendonitis though in some cases diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or even gout can cause this condition.  Usually the tendons of the heel, shoulder, wrist or elbow are affected by this condition.

The best way to treat Tendonitis is by resting the part of your body that has been affected.  You can also use an ice pack on the affected area. Use the ice pack for ten minutes and then remove. For the next ten minutes you don't need to use anything. Use the ice pack after ten minutes and repeat this cycle this till you feel the heat drain away. In some cases using a splint or even a bandage is effective in ensuring that the affected tendon is not used by you.

Regular physical exercise is an important and effective way of curing tendonitis. However, you should not begin doing intensely physical exercise. Rather some gentle exercises like swimming or Tai Chi can help you cleanse your body of toxins and keep you fit. Your diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and unrefined sea salt. All food that contains additives, corn starch, chocolate, sugar should  be avoided.
