The use of rice kvass for healing joints
Not enough people who are far from medicine understand that rice kvass is a very healthy drink for joints. Medicinal kvass from rice can be prepared at home. A person who takes it for several weeks gets the opportunity not only to remove salts from the joints, but also to cleanse the body of toxins, restore metabolism, improve blood circulation (blood circulation throughout the body) , increase the elasticity of blood vessels and strengthen the immune system.
Useful Features
Kvass made from rice has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect on joints, cleanses them of salts and restores their mobility and elasticity. But it must be prepared according to a special recipe and taken according to a strictly given scheme. Incorrect use of the drink will not only not have a positive effect on the joints, but can also cause harm to health.
To heal joints, you should take only selected snow-white rice of an oblong shape. Steamed grains or chopped rice are not suitable for this purpose. The drink, which is made using high-quality rice, has truly medicinal qualities and allows a person not only to get rid of the symptoms of joint disease, but also to remove the preconditions for its occurrence.
Representatives of oriental medicine use rice kvass in treatment (a process for alleviating, relieving or eliminating symptoms and diseases) :
- arthritis;
- arthrosis;
- rheumatism;
- chondrocalcinosis;
- gout;
- osteochondrosis.
How does kvass from rice work for diseases of joint tissue (The structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology) ? The main factor that provokes joint pathologies in people is an incorrect lifestyle. Poor nutrition, constant overeating and lack of sufficient physical activity lead to the accumulation in the human body of toxins and oxalic acid salts, which are deposited in the joints, provoking the occurrence of arthritis and other connective tissue diseases (The structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology) . Their development is indicated by painful feelings and crunching in the knees, back, neck and other parts of the body.
At the initial stage of the disease, these symptoms (Symptom from Greek - case, coincidence, sign - one separate sign, frequent manifestation of any disease, pathological condition or disruption of any vital process) arise from time to time, but in the absence of healing they become unchanged, causing the patient tangible physical discomfort.
Rice kvass has the ability to remove harmful substances from the body, reduce pain (physical or emotional suffering, painful or unpleasant sensations) and relieve inflammation (Inflammation is a complex local reaction of the body to damage) , therefore its use in joint pathologies is irreplaceable. The drink, no less effective than medications, cleanses the connective tissues (the structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology) of the body from salts accumulated inside and promotes the gradual disappearance of symptoms of the disease (disturbances in normal functioning, performance) .
It is recommended to use it when the first signs of the disease appear. This will allow you to avoid its future progression and keep your joints healthy until old age.
Making and drinking a healing drink
How to prepare rice kvass to restore joint health? To get a healing drink, you need to take:
- snow white rice - 4 tbsp;
- sweet sand - 3 tbsp;
- black raisins - 5 pcs.;
- water - 1 l.
Raw rice grains should be thoroughly washed, placed at the bottom of a glass container and filled with 1 liter of water. To make kvass, it is better to use spring or well water. If you can’t get it, rice grains can be poured over previously boiled and cooled to room temperature tap water. After this, sugar and steamed raisins should be added to the future kvass. The drink is stirred until the sugar is completely dissolved, covered with a piece of cotton cloth (the structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology) and placed in a black space (for example, in a kitchen cabinet).
Rice kvass should be infused at room temperature for 4 days. In the hot season, this period should be reduced to 3 days.
The finished drink must be filtered, poured into a clean container and placed in the refrigerator. To treat joint pain, it must be taken 100–150 ml 4 times a day (on an empty stomach and between main meals). Medicinal kvass should be consumed continuously for 5 weeks. If necessary, after 1 month the course of treatment can be repeated. In order to prevent exacerbation of joint diseases, it is recommended to take the drink in 4-week courses every 12–18 months.
On the first days of taking rice kvass, the patient may experience increased pain in the joints. This reaction of the body to the excretion of salts is normal and should not frighten it. A week after starting to consume the drink, painful manifestations in problem areas will disappear, and the person will return to good health.
To enhance the effectiveness of rice kvass, during the period of taking it, the patient must follow a diet consisting of lean meats and fish, brown rice, oatmeal, olive oil, new vegetables and fruits. All foods harmful to health should be one hundred percent excluded during the healing period. It is also important to keep your drinking regime in mind and drink at least 2 liters of water (water, tea, compotes and juices) per day.
There is no need to throw away the rice and raisins left after straining the kvass. They should be used to make the next portion of the drink, mixed with the freshest ingredients. To get kvass, you need to place all the sediment from the previous portion (sourdough) in a glass jar and mix with 2 tbsp. raw rice and 3 raisins. In all other respects, the recipe for making the drink does not differ from the method described just above.
Contraindications and harm to the body
Despite the positive effect on the joints, rice kvass does not always have a beneficial effect on human health, therefore, before starting to consume it, a patient should definitely consult a doctor.
The specialist will explain to the patient the benefits and harms of rice kvass for joints, and will determine whether he can take this drink for healing purposes.
In the fight against joint diseases, doctors do not recommend using rice kvass for people suffering from:
- sweet diabetes (due to the use of sugar in the production of the drink);
- acquired constipation (rice has fastening qualities and can further worsen the problem).
The harm of rice kvass in the treatment (the process of alleviating, relieving or eliminating symptoms and diseases) of joint diseases is that, in addition to removing toxins and harmful salts, it flushes out of the body potassium salts, which are necessary to maintain the normal functioning of the heart. In order to protect this important organ, during therapy (therapy is a process to relieve or eliminate symptoms and manifestations of the disease), the patient needs to replenish the loss of potassium with the help of products that contain it in large quantities (dried apricots, raisins, nuts, honey, bananas , baked potatoes, zucchini).
It is especially important to follow this recommendation for older clients and people who have been diagnosed with pathologies of the cardiovascular system.

Kvass removes excess salt deposits; this is especially useful for those for whom massage is contraindicated.
Contraindications

Both rice itself and kvass made from it should be limited to people with unhealthy diabetes, because it has the highest glycemic index, in other words, it raises the level of glucose in the blood (the internal environment of the human and animal body) . In addition, sugar and honey are used in almost all kvass recipes.
Rice also has a strengthening effect, so people suffering from constipation should not get too carried away with it, so as not to worsen the problem.
It is necessary to know about one of the characteristics of rice kvass in the treatment (process for alleviating, relieving or eliminating symptoms and diseases) of joints. In addition to unnecessary salts, rice washes away beneficial potassium salts. It, in turn, is needed for the proper functioning of the heart. Therefore, while taking it, it is necessary to increase the consumption of foods rich in potassium - bananas, dried apricots, raisins, zucchini, etc.
The older the patient, the more carefully you need to pay attention to the points listed above.
