What are some natural treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis?

Answer 1

RA has been with us since time immemorial and up to now nothing has been found to cure it. the present treatments involve many different medications all of which tend to have some undesirable side effects. The biggest problem with RA is that you can not afford to experiment with questionable cures because while the inflammation is there damage is being done to the joints.

Answer 2

RheumatoidArthritis - Treatment - Chang Shan - Anti-Inflammatory

Medical researchers have identified Halofuginone as a treatment for

RheumatoidArthritis. Halofuginone is a drug derived from the

ancient herb Chang Shan (Latin botanical name: Dichroa Root).

Chang Shan, herb has been used in Chinese medicine for more than 2,000

years to reduce fever and fight malaria. Chang Shan is considered one

of the 50 "fundamental herbs" of traditional Chinese medicine.

Researchers have now discovered that in the body, one common precursor

T cell can give rise to both tissue-protective T regulatory, or Treg,

cells and the inflammatory T cell type known as T helper 17.

These inflammatory Th17 cells play a prominent role in many autoimmune-

related disorders, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis,

Scleroderma, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Psoriasis.

Researchers have discovered a small molecule called Halofuginone

prevented inflammatory Th17 cells from emerging without interfering

with tissue-protective Treg cells.

The researchers believe that halofuginone acts by activating a

biochemical pathway known as the amino acid starvation response, or

AAR, which typically protects cells when amino acids, the essential

building blocks of proteins, are in short supply.

In amino acid deprivation, cells try to conserve amino acids by

preventing specific types of responses that are energetically

expensive. A primary response of these cells to halofuginone is

shutting down the inflammatory response cycle.

Emerging science indicates that Rheumatoid Arthritis Sufferers may

reap the greatest benefit from this anti-inflammatory compound. With

this new discovery it is now possible to inhibit this destructive and

repetitive chronic autoimmune cycle from reoccurring. In essence,

allowing the body to repair itself..!

Answer 3

To date there is no generally accepted natural cure for RA. The closest you can come is the use of foods that have anti-inflamatory property's as these help control the damage done by the disease. RA is an autoimmune disease and it is thought to be genetically passed on. at present it is not known what causes it or how to modify the the body's structure in order to stop this reaction from happening.

Answer 5

There are numerous natural treatments available for arthritis. Applying cold treatments such as an ice pack for fifteen minute periods can reduce inflammation. Heat treatments such as heating pads can help as well but be careful not to use anything too hot. Magnetic jewelry is also believed by some to reduce pain from arthritis, but this claim has not been scientifically proven.

Answer 6

Joint pain or so-called arthralgia has its basis most often in the excessive burdening of the joint cartilage and surrounding tissues and may appear regardless of age and level of general physical activity. People who have problems with joints most often experience pain in the knees and wrists, inflammatory disorders involving the surrounding structures, i.e. tendons, ligaments or synovial bursa occur less often.

The most common causes of pain in the joints include:
