Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease where body’s own immune system attacks its tissues including its joints and in severe cases other internal organs.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the joints including those of hands and feet. It affects the joint linings causing painful swelling of joints, stiffness which is worse in morning and after rest or inactivity. It also produces fatigue , fever and loss of appetite and in later stages causes joint deformity.
It affects the smaller joints first especially those of fingers and toes and later progresses to other joints like wrist, knees, elbow, ankles, hips and shoulders.
ROLE OF HOMOEOPATHY IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Homoeopathy can be used to manage, treat and cure rheumatoid arthritis successfully depending on the stage of the disease .The sooner the pt starts with homoeopathic treatment the better is the prognosis of the disease. In allopathic medicine the disease is considered as incurable and the pt is put on steroids for the rest of his life. While with homoeopathy we have given intense relief to the patients and have also seen cases getting cured.
A CASE OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS CURED WITH HOMOEOPATHY.
A women 60yrs of age came to us with rheumatoid arthritis. She had severe pain and stiffness in her fingers, wrist, toes and ankle especially on waking in morning. She was unable to move her fingers and do her usual work. She felt very tired and feverish after slightest exertion. Her rheumatoid factor was raised and her doctor had advised her to start with steroids to control the pain and stiffness. She came to us in a state of panic as the doctor had told her that the condition was incurable and she had to be on steroids for the rest of her life and it is going to cause permanent deformities. She refused to take any allopathic medicine and wanted to try Homoeopathy
After taking her case she was prescribed a remedy depending on her physical, general and emotional symptoms and within 6 mnths she improved and within a year her rheumatoid factor was back to normal and all her symptoms had disappeared. Its been a year since we have stopped her medications and she has not experienced any symptoms till date and still her rheumatoid factor is within normal range.
This shows that with proper constitutional homoeopathic treatment we can manage and treat Rheumatoid Arthritis successfully and help thousands of people suffering with this disorder.
