A REVIEW OF HERBAL PLANTS USED IN THE TREATMENT OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
AbstractAn inflammatory disorder with an uncertain cause, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is primarily distinguished by progressive cartilage loss resulting in persistent polyarthritis and joint deformity. Studies indicate that pannus development, which harms the cartilage and the bone, is caused by synoviocyte cellular growth, albeit the exact pathophysiology of the condition has not yet been determined. Recent research further supports free radicals’ significance in the disease’s etiology. In addition to the traditional therapy approaches, including glucocorticoids, disease-modifying antirheumatic medicines, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, newer and safer drugs are constantly being sought after because prolonged use of these medications has led to adverse side effects. Through this review, we all have tried to explore different ancient Indian ancient Ayurvedic, Unani and Tibbi, as also some Oriental and Korean herbals for their very own potential for the treatment of RA.
