Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease manifested by pain, stiffness and swelling of the joints. In the treatment of RA, prescription drugs are used (biologics, anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants). As an adjunct, you can use tablets, capsules, gels or patches available without a prescription with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as herbal preparations containing extracts of ginger, turmeric, willow bark or boswelli.
