ABSTRACT:
Autoimmunity is an immune disease in which the immune system reacts to self-antigens. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and immune cell infiltration around the synovial membrane, causing cartilage loss and degradation. So far, allopathic steroidal and non-steroidal medications have been unable to cure or prevent the condition. They can only provide brief comfort by suppressing and lowering joint pain, despite their significant adverse effects.. Alternative medicinal treatments for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis can be employed in a more holistic way to improve the sufferer's quality of life while also slowing the disease's progression. In the review paper, some of the approaches with antitraditional and ethnobotanical significance were explored, and an attempt was made to compile all conceivable plants with Anti-Rheumatoid Arthritis activity. These methods offer some hope in the treatment of RA. The experimental model for examining medication effects on RA has also been studied. This could pave the way for further research in the future.
