Arteriosclerosis is a form of sclerosis that occurs in the arteries. In other words, this means that it is characterized by hardening, thickening and loss of elasticity of the artery walls.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a term that includes more than 100 diseases characterized by inflammation of the joints and other parts of the body. Inflammation is a medical term for pain, stiffness, redness and swelling.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects the joints; it is also called chronic degenerative arthropathy. It is characterized by pain, mechanical and diurnal, and difficulty in performing joint movements.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease caused by permanent inflammation of the bronchi. It manifests itself in attacks, characterized by episodes of difficulty breathing (shortness of breath), wheezing, dry cough or feeling of tightness in the chest.
Constipation
We speak of constipation when the stools do not progress quickly enough through the colon (large intestine), which results in: stools that are too infrequent, stools that are too hard, causing difficulty in defecation.
Alcohol addiction
Alcohol addiction. Alcohol dependence is defined as an addiction to alcohol, that is to say the need, the compulsive desire, the necessity for a person to drink alcohol associated with the inability for the subject to ensure his daily tasks.
Depression
Depression is an illness characterized by great sadness, a feeling of hopelessness or a loss of motivation.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body is not able to effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a blood sugar regulating hormone.
Pain
Pain is an “unpleasant sensory and emotional experience”, a subjective sensation normally linked to a message, a nociceptive stimulus transmitted by the nervous system.
Chronic fatigue
Chronic fatigue, also called chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is defined as a set of symptoms of intense and almost permanent exhaustion that appear for no apparent reason or underlying pathology.
High blood pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) corresponds to an abnormal increase in blood pressure on the walls of the arteries. In the majority of cases, high blood pressure is called “essential”: no known cause explains its appearance, but it is favored by risk factors.
Sunstroke
Sunstroke is heat stroke caused by too long exposure to the sun. In the event of heat stroke, which particularly affects children and the elderly, the body temperature rises above 40°C. We then speak of hyperthermia.
Irritable bowel
Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder of the digestive tract that causes abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea. Symptoms vary, but commonly include lower abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and constipation or diarrhea.
Back pain
It is generally a dull, penetrating pain that increases with movement of the spine, and even when coughing or laughing. They sometimes radiate into the arms or legs in the case of sciatic pain. The back muscles are contracted.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive system (large intestine), which progresses through flare-ups and phases of remission. It is mainly characterized by attacks of abdominal pain and diarrhea, which can last several weeks or months.
Migraines
Migraine is characterized by repeated attacks manifesting mainly as painful headaches (headaches). This neurological disease affects 15% of the world's population.
Neuralgia
Neuralgia defines the presence of pain along the path of a nerve. This pain can be permanent or start suddenly.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a diffuse skeletal disease characterized by a reduction in bone density, bone mass and therefore bone strength. It can lead to fractures.
Thyroid problems
Millions of people worldwide suffer from thyroid disease, such as an enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), cancerous or non-cancerous thyroid nodules, or hyperthyroidism. Some thyroid conditions can be treated with medication, while for others surgery is the best treatment.
Rheumatism
Rheumatism is a generic term which commonly refers to all diseases responsible for pain or inflammation affecting the joints or nearby structures, such as tendons or ligaments.
Endocrine system
The endocrine system includes the ovaries, testes, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, pituitary gland, cerebral pineal gland, pancreas as well as hormone-secreting cells located in the digestive tract, kidneys, heart and placenta.
Varicose veins
Varicose veins are permanent dilations of the veins, most often on a lower limb. Varicose veins of the lower limbs are a dilation of the subcutaneous veins whose diameter is greater than 3 mm. Varicose veins are usually winding. They are the site of blood reflux.
Dizziness
It corresponds to a sensation of rotation in our environment, which is why we often use the expression “being dizzy” to describe it. Some dizziness may be accompanied by other signs such as nausea or difficulty walking.
Caution
Lithotherapy should in no case be a substitute for prescribed medical treatment. It should only act to reinforce this treatment. Medical diagnosis is essential and any ongoing treatment must be continued.
