Rheumatoid arthritis (RA ) is a chronic, systemic, progressive and an autoimmune disease. Its early symptoms include inflammation and pain in
smaller joints. Gradually, it spreads to larger joints and also other organs. Inflammation occurs in tendons, ligaments and muscles around joints. It usually starts from the age of 40 to 60 years except juvenile cases. It is a major cause of disability in large population all over the world. Unless proper treatment is taken in early stage, the prognosis is not good. Heredity and environmental factors seem to be cause of the ailment.
In allopathic system of medicines, it is treated with first line of treatment with fast acting antiinflammatory and analgesic drugs like corticosteroids and NSAIDs in short term and then with second line of treatment by slow acting disease modifying agents DMARDs on long term.
Homeopathy medicines can well manage RA illness on long term basis. Great advantage is that it is done without side effects unlike other medications. The disease course is erratic and runs on flare-ups and remissions which are dependent on several factors like hereditary miasm, types of diet, lifestyle, stress, pollutions in environment, weather condition, day cycle and moon cycle.
Immune function disorder is at root of the disease manifestation when lmmune cells and antibodies attack the body's own joint tissues which are involved in inflammation. In homeopathy, two types of medication are effective for RA. In acute stage of the illness, fast acting medicines like Aconite, Arnica, Belladonna, Ledum etc are useful. For chronic state of the disease, the constitutional, nosode and totality of symptoms medicines are very effective from time to time. The objective is to bring the disorderly and confused state of immune system back into order and then illness is remitted.
