Rheumatism or rheumatic
disorders are
conditions causing chronic,
often intermittent pain affecting
the joints or connective
tissue.
Rheumatism does not designate any specific disorder, but
covers at least 200 different conditions including arthritis and
"non-articular rheumatism", also known as "regional pain
syndrome" or "soft tissue rheumatism". There
is a close overlap between the term soft
tissue disorder and
rheumatism. Sometimes the term "soft tissue rheumatic
disorders" is used to describe these conditions.

A vast number of traditional herbal remedies
have been recommended for "rheumatism". Modern
medicine, both conventional and alternative,
recognises that the different rheumatic
disorders have different causes (and
several of them have multiple causes)
and require different kinds of
treatment. |
