Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease which is inflammatory and chronic. This disease affects the joint linings of those with this condition, which causes painful swelling. Complications of this disease can cause problems in the patients’ eyes, skin, heart, lungs, and other organs. Being that there is no cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis, different treatment approaches are aimed to reduce the current pain and to slow further damage. In this paper, we will present a summary of past and present treatments to address the best possible treatment options for Rheumatoid arthritis. We will place an added emphasis on the use and effectiveness of alternative medicine and treatments used to treat this disease.
