Review on "Herbal Preparations from Ayurveda used to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis"

Abstract

Ayurveda is a natural medicine system that originated in India over 3,000 years ago. The name "Ayurveda" (science or knowledge) is derived from the Sanskrit words Ayur (life) and Veda. Thus, the name Ayurveda, which means "knowledge of life." The popularity of Ayurveda, or traditional. Since most patients begin taking conventional medications as soon as they are diagnosed, ayurvedic therapies are usually administered in combination with or after orthodox medical techniques. To properly grasp the potential effect of food, spices, and medicinal plants, one must have a thorough understanding of their actions. Realizing the potential of Ayurvedic medicine and philosophy and incorporating it into contemporary medical practice is crucial. There are some significant differences between the mechanisms of action of synthetic pharmaceuticals and single constituents and those of polyherbal treatments and their extracts. Despite being based on natural herbal elements, the safety of ayurvedic treatments depends on how they are delivered, taking into account the needs of the individual and their specific sickness circumstances. Many contemporary drugs are derived from the botanicals used in Ayurveda and other traditional medicinal systems. It is expected that a significant step toward resolving some of the current challenges in treating complex disorders like arthritis with only modern pharmaceuticals would be the confirmation of a combined therapy strategy (Ayurveda and contemporary medicine) with improved efficacy and safety.
