ABSTRACT

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the synovial joint lining and is linked to progressive disability, premature death, and socioeconomic burdens. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has no cure, however there are effective treatments to help you manage symptoms. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used on a long-term basis by elderly people but Chronic NSAID use raises the risk of peptic ulcer disease, acute renal failure, and stroke/myocardial infarction in older adults. According to research also long-term corticosteroid use may be linked to more serious side effects such as osteoporosis, aseptic joint necrosis, adrenal insufficiency, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular problems. However Herbal medicines are generally thought to be safe and effective. As a result, people are increasingly turning to herbal medicine believing that plant remedies are free of harmful side effects. Herbal plants have anti-arthritis and anti-inflammatory properties. In this article, we go through the causes, symptoms, and treatments of Rheumotoid arthritis. We're also looking at the effects of herbal plants on Rheumatoid arthritis and some of them such as Ginger, Turmeric, Agnibuti, Ram tulsi Hibiscus platanifolius Linn, Urtica pilulifera L, Morning Glory, and Myrobalan, may have more anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties in the future.
