Rumafix: Naturopathic philosophy suggests that rheumatic complaints may arise from poor detoxification, and that most toxins are tissue irritants that stimulate inflammation. When the eliminative system is especially backed up, excessive toxin loads may wind up in the joints or other tissues according to this holistic viewpoint. Chronic constipation is a frequent complaint amongst those with rheumatism. As such, naturopaths often use cleansing strategies as a primary modality in rheumatism. The main detoxification pathways through the liver, bowels and kidneys are the central focus.

Ridding the body of parasites is also an important aspect of treatment according to naturopathic philosophy, as they are considered not only a drain on the system but a source of toxins. Rumafix combines a number of herbs classically treasured in folk herbalism for rheumatic conditions as well as cleansing. Yucca, Yellow Dock, Wormwood and Fenugreek have a long history of use for rheumatic and arthritic complaints in holistic healing systems. Traditional healers employ Yellow Dock, Wormwood and Fenugreek for regulating mucus accumulations, which are thought to collect toxins and slow elimination. Black Walnut, Wormwood and Fenugreek have actions against a variety of parasites according to herbal lore. Yellow Dock is one of the most highly prized cleansing herbs, with a gentle, regulating tonic action on blood, liver, kidneys and bowels.
