RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS HOMOEOPATHY TREATMENT
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease of unknown origin that affects joint linings, causing fever, painful swelling and stiffness. Over long periods of time, the swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis can cause bone erosion and joint deformity.
There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. However, clinical studies indicate that remission, a symptom free period is more likely when treatment begins early.
Conventional type of treatment includes Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, Steroids, Disease Modifying Anti-rheumatic Drugs and the newer ones are Biological agents.
Rheumatoid arthritis requires a long term treatment to achieve remission and a long term conventional treatment comes with adverse effects whereas Homoeopathy and other alternative holistic treatments offer much promising results without any side effects.
Homoeopathic treatment requires a detailed medical, personal, social and psychological history that leads a doctor to arrive at the constitutional remedy. The constitutional treatment offers better and long lasting results.
Apart from the constitutional remedy, following are the scientifically proven specific Homoeopathic mother tinctures to reduce pain and inflammatory markers in rheumatoid arthritis. Kindly consult your Homoeopathic consultant before you start any of the medicines.
