HERBAL REMEDIES FOR AUTO IMMUNE DISORDER SPECIALLY IN RHEUMETOID ARTHRITIS

Anand Kumar and Gaurav Dubey*

ABSTRACT

The most prevalent type of inflammatory joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is thought to have an unknown etiology. It affects around 1% of the global population and, in contrast to osteoarthritis (OA), typically affects many joints due to its systemic nature. Reports indicate that between 60 and 90 percent of patients with arthritis who are not satisfied with their treatment plan will probably consider CAM. Rheumatoid arthritis is a debilitating inflammatory illness that progresses over time and causes systemic inflammation of the joints, causing damage to the surrounding bone and cartilage. Being a systemic condition, it can impact the internal organs, including the heart, lungs, and eyes, as well as the entire body. Even though many synthetic medications are employed as the normal course of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, they have side effects that can jeopardise the effectiveness of the therapeutic intervention. Regretfully, current medication can only treat the disease's symptoms, which include relieving joint pain and inflammation, leaving no proven effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. There exist diverse applications for herbs and plants that might be employed to alleviate joint discomfort and inflammation.
