Role of Homoeopathy in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of synovial joints, pain, stiffness, swelling, and progressive joint destruction. It commonly affects small joints symmetrically and may lead to deformity and disability if untreated. Conventional treatment includes NSAIDs, corticosteroids, DMARDs, and biologics. Homoeopathy aims to provide individualized treatment by considering the totality of symptoms and improving the patient’s overall health. This article discusses the role of homoeopathy in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, including constitutional remedies, symptom-based prescribing, and supportive care.
