RA or rheumatoid arthritis refers to an autoimmune medical condition wherein the bones, joints and other organ systems in the body are affected. This is a serious illness as it can lead to damage in tissues when the body’s immune system mistakes the body’s own tissues as foreign and attacks them in an attempt to fight possible illnesses. Many health experts and medical practitioners are now turning to herbs to treat rheumatoid arthritis especially now that the world is more aware of the facts about herbs and uses.

Many herbs are anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidants in nature and most of them are used in treating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Although supplements and herbs used in treating RA are all natural, there is a possibility that they can become potent and may interact with prescription drugs. Natural or not, it is still highly advisable that an RA patient discuss the matter of adding or subtracting any medication from their treatment plan with their health care provider. It is wrong to assume that herbs are naturally safe to use and are free of any side effects.

Cat’s claw, evening primrose, boswellia, bogbean, curcurmin, licorice, sesame seed oil, white poplar, oregano, celery, sarsaparilla, feverfew, ginger, angelica, wintergreen, honeysuckle, galangal and wild yam are only some of the herbs considered helpful in treating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
