What to do if joint fluid is insufficient

Synovial fluid is a liquid secreted by the human body's joint capsule that lubricates the joints. It is composed of water and nutrients. It not only lubricates the joints, but also nourishes the soft tissues and bone joints in the joints, maintaining the normal functions of various joints in the body. The reduction of synovial fluid, or the thickening of synovial fluid, will reduce the absorption of nutrients by the tissues around the joints or the bone joints. Long-term collision between joints will also lead to joint degeneration, bone hyperplasia or bone spurs. Long-term deficiency of synovial fluid may also cause bone necrosis. So what should I do if my joints are not enough?

Synovial fluid: Deficiency will cause joint pain, deformation and swelling, joint stiffness in the morning, symptoms will be relieved after getting out of bed and moving around, and there will be cracking sounds when the joints move. There is synovial membrane between the joints, and certain components of plasma seep into the joint cavity to form synovial fluid, which plays the role of lubricating the joints and nourishing the articular cartilage. Human joints undergo friction billions of times throughout a person's life, and synovial fluid prevents direct friction between the cartilage at the ends of two bones. Lack of synovial fluid in the joints will accelerate joint wear, causing joint aging and bone hyperplasia.

Supplement method: Slowly squatting and standing up can promote the flow of synovial fluid in and out of the cartilage, which can reduce joint wear and increase synovial fluid production. Hold on to the table, slowly squat down, then slowly stand up, squat 20 times a day. If you have difficulty squatting at the beginning, you can practice slowly. It is not advisable to do it right in the morning. It is best to practice after your joints are flexible.

Gastric synovial fluid: Lack of it can cause symptoms such as acid reflux and upper abdominal discomfort. The stomach can secrete synovial fluid and gastric acid at the same time. Excessive gastric acid can damage the gastric mucosa, while synovial fluid can protect the gastric mucosa and reduce the damage of rough food to the gastric mucosa. Studies have found that when gastric synovial fluid decreases, gastric acid and Helicobacter pylori will erode the stomach wall, leading to ulcers and inflammation.

Supplement method: Drink fish maw chicken soup often. Wash 10 grams of fish maw (fish belly, a dried product of fish bladder), soak it in cold water overnight, put it into a pot with cold water together with 200 grams of chicken pieces and ginger slices, boil it over high heat and then simmer it on low heat for 2 hours. Remove the chicken fat from the soup, drink the soup and eat the meat. Drinking it twice a week for a month will be very beneficial for protecting the gastric mucosa and replenishing gastric synovial fluid. In addition, drinking too much will reduce the secretion of gastric synovial fluid, and people who lack gastric synovial fluid should quit drinking.

Prostatic synovial fluid: Deficiency can cause symptoms such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination at night. Generally, after men reach the age of 50, the prostate will accelerate the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, causing a significant decrease in prostate synovial fluid, which in turn can easily lead to prostate hyperplasia. In addition, irritating foods such as wine, onions, raw garlic, chili peppers, and pepper can cause prostate blood vessels to dilate, prostate congestion, and lead to a depletion of synovial fluid.

Supplement method: Walk briskly for about 45 minutes every day, preferably until your body becomes hot and sweating, as this can increase the secretion of prostate synovial fluid. Some foods can increase the amount of synovial fluid in the prostate. For example, the isoflavones in soybeans can directly stimulate the production of synovial fluid. You can drink 150 grams of soy milk or eat soy products every day. You can also eat sesame oil regularly. Sesame oil contains 48% a-linolenic acid, which will produce type 3 prostaglandins during metabolism in the body. Be careful not to watch TV for more than 3 hours a day, otherwise sitting for a long time will inhibit the secretion of prostate synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid: Lack of it can cause dry eyes, burning sensation, excessive eye mucus, blurred vision, etc. Synovial fluid is different from tears. The main component of synovial fluid is hyaluronic acid, which can transport nutrients to the eyes and has a buffering and protective effect on the eyes. The main component of tears is water, and they also contain a small amount of inorganic salts and other ingredients. Lack of synovial fluid in the eyes will not only cause dry eyes, but in severe cases, corneal softening and perforation may also occur.

Supplement method: Eat carrots and wolfberries regularly. These two foods are very helpful for the metabolism of retinal photoreceptor cells and can promote the production of eye synovial fluid. Soak 30 grams of wolfberries in boiling water for 10-15 minutes every day, drink it instead of tea, and eat the wolfberries. People with severe dry eyes can use artificial tears (1% methylcellulose, 1% chondroitin sulfate) for eye drops, but do not use eye drops on your own.

Colorectal synovial fluid

: Deficiency will cause constipation, dry stools and bad breath. The synovial fluid of the large intestine is secreted by the epithelium of the large intestine mucosa and the goblet cells of the large intestine glands. It has the function of protecting the intestinal mucosa and softening feces. The decrease in synovial fluid secretion will aggravate constipation and easily form a vicious cycle.

Supplement method: Drink a cup of warm water (250 ml) on an empty stomach in the morning, then stand upright and look up, raise your hands and cross them above your head, slowly shake your waist and hips, drink another cup of warm water after 5 minutes, repeat the above actions three times. Place your hands on the Shenque point (center of the navel) and rub your abdomen clockwise for 30 circles. It can promote the discharge of old stool in the large intestine and stimulate the production of synovial fluid in the large intestine. In addition, the production of synovial fluid in the large intestine is mainly stimulated by food residues in the intestinal wall. Therefore, eating more cellulose-rich foods such as wheat bran, dried bamboo shoots, pine mushrooms, etc. can also help replenish synovial fluid in the large intestine.

Pleural synovial fluid: Lack of it will cause chest tightness and difficulty breathing. The pleural cavity is located between the lungs and the chest wall. There is a very thin layer of liquid called pleural synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant when the human body breathes. Pleural synovial fluid contains trace amounts of active substances such as lysozyme, peroxidase, amylase, protease, etc. These substances have the functions of detoxification, anti-inflammation, wound healing and prevention of various intrathoracic diseases. Lack of pleural synovial fluid will affect the normal respiratory movement of the lungs, leading to shortness of breath and severe cases of

Emphysema

, atelectasis and hypoxia.

Supplement method: Sit down, take off your outer clothes, rub your hands together to warm them up, and gently massage your chest and armpits on both sides until the area becomes warm. Do this 2-3 times a day for 5 minutes each time. This will help increase pleural synovial fluid. You can also use 20 grams of white radish seeds, add 800 ml of water and 5 grams of rock sugar, boil a bowl of soup and drink it 3 times a day for 1 week.

Peritoneal synovial fluid: Deficiency may cause fatigue, lower abdominal distension, lumbar and sacral pain, heel pain, etc. Peritoneal synovial fluid is widely distributed, covering almost most of the organs in the abdominal and pelvic cavities, playing a role in lubrication and reducing friction between organs. If there is a lack of synovial fluid, it will aggravate organ diseases and even induce multiple organ failure.

Supplement method: Massage the tender points of the abdomen every day. When there is a lesion in the peritoneum, there will generally be some tender points around the navel, that is, when you touch a certain area with your thumb, it will be more painful, which is often where the lesion is. After finding the tender points, use your thumb to massage them from light to heavy until you feel a sore and swollen feeling. Massage each tender point for about one minute to promote local blood circulation and increase the secretion of peritoneal synovial fluid.

Synovial fluid therapy of the knee

Synovial fluid of the knee joint is a non-bacterial inflammation. The main pathological feature of the disease is that due to the blood circulation disorder of the joint tissue, the nutrition supply of the tissue cells is poor, causing the tissue cells to become diseased. Microwave thermotherapy is a very successful physical therapy method developed at home and abroad in recent years. It has a very good effect on the rehabilitation of cell functions and the removal of inflammatory substances. Many osteoarthritis can achieve therapeutic effects that cannot be achieved by drugs.

Main clinical manifestations:

1 Human tissue absorbs electromagnetic waves that penetrate from outside the body, and the temperature of the tissue is increased, causing blood vessels to dilate, opening up blood circulation in blocked capillaries, thereby promoting the absorption of inflammation and the repair of damaged cells.

2 By improving blood circulation, promoting the immune function of white blood cells, macrophages, etc., it can achieve anti-inflammatory and detumescence effects.

3. Restore the normal function of enzymes in human tissues and ensure normal metabolism.
