Everyone knows that the weather has an impact on our well-being and health. Some of us believe that some weather phenomena can cause specific ailments. The most popular method is to combine pain in the joints with rain. But does such a relationship really exist? This question has been answered by researchers from the Harvard Medical School.

The material collected in 2008-2012 was thoroughly analyzed.
Experts from the Harvard Medical School searched the collected materials for answers to several questions. First of all, whether it was raining or after rainfall, more people reported to the doctor with back pain and joint pain. Did people who saw their doctor for a different reason on rainy days also complain of pain in the knees or back, and whether the symptoms worsened in patients diagnosed with rheumatism?

- Gender – due to the complex hormonal balance, women are more exposed to the unpleasant effects of weather changes in all age groups. It is especially noticeable during periods of hormonal fluctuation, i.e. during puberty and menopause.

If we take care of the hygiene of life, meteoropathy may turn out to be a temporary condition.
