'THE OLD MAN AND HIS KNEES'
A few years ago, an old man brought his grandson to me for treatment. Getting up to leave after I had finished treating the boy, he casually asked me if I could give him something for his painful knees.I was loathe to give him a prescription medicine in view of his advanced age ( he must have been around eighty ). Instead, I thought of a remedy I had only read about but never used until then and I told him to cover his swollen knees with the fresh leaves of Calotropis gigantea, a shrub which grows abundantly all over India, and leave them on overnight.He did that, and when he brought his grandson for his follow-up a week later, reported a very satisfactory reduction of both pain and swelling in his knees.Ever since, I have been advocating this non-invasive and very cheap ( as a matter of fact, free ) method of treating swollen and painful joints, to whichever patients of arthritis I get to see.Some follow it, and get better without any hassle whatsoever.Others, who feel that I am stretching the limits of their credibility, don't, and so miss out on a very simple and effective method of arthritis-control. I feel sorry for them.You could try this treatment too, if you ever need it and are able to get the leaves of this plant, where you live.
