Auto-immune Disease, Herbs, Inflammation, Rheumatoid ArthritisAbstract
Chronic, persistent and incapacitating autoimmune ailments known as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) are marked by cartilage and bone damage surrounding the joints as well as systemic inflammation of the joints. The fact that 75% of RA patients are female points to the significance of hormones in the etiology of the condition. Synovial membrane inflammation involves mechanisms in the form of genetic, environmental, including immunologic variables that are believed to have a role in its pathogenic mechanism. When it comes to treating RA, the focus has shifted from relieving symptoms to implementing therapeutic regimens that affect the disease’s activity and eventually have been found to halt or stop structural joint destruction. Salicylates, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), Methotrexate (MTX), as well as biologic response enhancers, are some examples of drugs. However, it has negative effects which need to be overcome. It is required to employ herbs and a variety of plants to treat joint pain and inflammation. There are numerous plants with medicinal properties that have been clinically demonstrated to have anti-rheumatoid arthritis effects. As a result, plants and their derivatives with significant benefits are being used for the management of rheumatoid arthritis. The current assessment focuses on medicinal plants that have anti-rheumatoid arthritis efficacy.
