Rheumatoid Arthritis and Homeopathy
Weather is known to have an effect on rheumatoid arthritis. It is quite known that arthritis patients show an increase in their symptoms during cold weather. Winters can be very bad for some of them. Even wet weather aggravates the condition for many patients. Some RA (rheumatoid arthritis) patient seems to be too sensitive about weather changes. So much so that they often come up saying that they know ? it,s going to rain? as their joints start to ache.
Homeopathy can be a great boon for all those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. As Homoeopathic prescription is based upon carefully analysis of the symptoms of the patients, it becomes a system of medicine that understands and treat the patients individualized disease characteristics deeply enough to ensure the complete elimination of the disease from the roots.
What is rheumatoid arthritis and how homoeopathy can help?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disorder that affects the joints. The lining of the joints (synovium) gets inflamed and slowly gets destroyed. This causes the patients to suffer from pain, aches and stiffness in joints and eventually the joints to get deformed. The exact cause is uncertain but it is believed that it is an autoimmune disorder. This means that body’s own defense cells attack the joint lining and cause gross changes in them. Although it affect anybody at nearly all ages, this disorders is more common in women and is more common between the ages of 20-50. Diagnoses of arthritis is made on combination of factors; by assessing medical history, performing a physical examination, ordering specific laboratory tests, and x-rays
The Scope of homoeopathic treatment in rheumatoid arthritis is very favorable. But the patient needs to understand that the homeopathic system is aiming to clear out the disease from the body and not trying merely to suppress or give temporary relief .Thus it could take a while before one experiences relief. The time for its treatment is dependent on various factors-The chronicity of the disease (the duration since the disease has been in the body), genetic propensity and the extent of damage.
Although it is not very clear as how homeopathy works in rheumatoid arthritis, it is hypothesized that homoeopathic medicines regulate the immune system and deactivates the misdirected immune cells. They also help in reducing the inflammation in the joints too. Reversal of deformity with homoeopathy is still under debate and nothing conclusive can be said about it.
What kind of homoeopathic medicines are used in treating rheumatoid arthritis and how safe are they?
Homoeopathy works on the principle of ‘like cure like ‘ this in homoeopathic terms means that substances which in their raw states produce symptoms similar to the disease have the potential to stimulate the body’s own restorative process for a similar illness when given in an activated dilution.
Homoeopathic medicines that are used in treating rheumatoid arthritis are mainly from all plant, mineral kingdom. They are then highly diluted and succused (shaken in a specific way).These activated dilutions then stimulates our body’s own restorative systems to eradicate the disease. When rightly prescribed, they are extremely safe.
Is it possible that one can use homoeopathic medicines on their own?
Firstly one has to realize that rheumatoid arthritis is a complex chronic disorder and needs to be evaluated properly before any prescription is made. Secondly, homoeopathy is a very individualized system of medicine. For example the prescription for the arthritis patient that gets an increase of symptoms in cold weather will be totally different from the one who shows an increase during wet weather. That is why Homoeopathy is called as a symptom based system of medicine. Selecting the right homeopathic medicine also requires complete analysis of our body on various levels- mental physical and the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Thus one should completely avoid self medication.

My daughter (11 years) was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile inflammatory arthritis. Blood test report also show her to be suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. She was treated with HCQS initially and subsequently with SAZO 500. The latter probably reacted and she had severe fever with vomiting tendency. Now SAZO is stopped and she has within a day or two from that recovered from fever. She presently has no pains, except some amount of uneasiness in her movement of the fingers of the hands. It may be pertinent to mention in this connection that she initially had pains all over her body joints – it started with finger joints, then spread to knees, ankles, elbows etc. She is presently on on HCQS. Sometimes she complains of neck pain presently which was also previously there with swelling of glands on both sides of the neck, which is presently much subsided although there is some stiffness which can be felt with the help of fingers by touching both sides (like feeling tonsillitis on throat). Will you be kind enough to suggest any future course of action or medicine? ( If necessary I can scan and e-mail her reports to you.)

We went to orthopedic he told initially might slip disk issue , but later they did my tbpcr test which came postive and also did MRI ,in which they saw inflammation in left SI joint .So he started medication of Bone TB ,but my ecr was never increased beyond 30.After the complete course of TB , i started getting similar kind of pain in my right , this time it was very bad.
So we met Rhemhtologist ,they told it was never a Bone TB .From begining it was axial spondyloarthritis. So i started taking ayurvedic medication from Jan 2013 and pain was gonna magically .But suddenly from this July pain as started again and this pain is same as it used to Before Jan .My R-Factor test came negative but HLAB27 positive .
I am still on ayurvedic medicines but my pain is not coming down.When pain increases i take allopathy pain killer Etoshine which helps live happily for three days and after that pain again comes back .
I am loosing trust on all kind of treatments now .I feel everyone just want to make not bothered their patient health .
I just read your article , so let me what is possible from homeopathy side in particular to my case .

Many times he suffers with his neck and arms as well…His arms and hands, many times, will go numb (mostly when sleeping) he awakes with this in order to deal with it. Please tell me what you think the best homeopathic remedy would be for him
