An Old Lady with Rheumatoid Arthritis Finds Relief in Pain with Homeopathy
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. This condition can also affect the tissues surrounding the joints and other organs of the body.
RA is a constitutional disease that is auto-immune; so, it calls for constitutional medication. Homeopathy offers excellent treatment for patients of RA, particularly for those who have not developed joint deformities. Pain control is very effective with homeopathy without any side effects whatsoever. The treatment can also have a role to play in controlling the progress of the condition to some extent and in delaying the onset of complications. Homeopathy is very strongly suggested for all cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
