On 24th-Nov-2016, a 42-year-old female patient visited our clinic with the complaint of multiple joint pain and swelling, redness & mild deformity of joints in fingers. Her fingers were so sensitive and painful that she scarcely allowed to touch them. She was quite a lot aggravated and felt miserable due to her pain. In addition, she was also suffering from the right heel and left shoulder pain as well. Generally speaking, pains are better from warm; worse from the cold, night, during menstruation. Change of weather aggravates the pain. General Characteristics: Chilly patient. Appetite loss, chronic constipation. Obesity. Mentally nervous, indecisive, cry frequently during conversation. Menstruation is irregular, painful, scanty, and has great weakness during menstrual flow. She scarcely stands or does minor household works during menstruation. Diagnosis: rheumatoid arthritis factor 225 U/ml (23rd Nov 2016)
Homeopathy cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is said to be effective, however, the evidence is limited.
The treatment method takes a different approach and it depends not only on the medicines but the
personality, sensitivities, and emotions of the patients.
It also focuses on the direction from where the pain emerges.
Based on all the factors, a combination of medicines is prescribed.

but to cure it completely what is needed is constitutional treatment.

Scientific Research Study on homeopathy treatment for RA
The effect of the medicinal mushroom Agaricus was tested in rats that were induced with rheumatoid arthritis.1 It was found that by providing this drug as a supplement can calm the effect of RA and gradually provide pain relief to patients suffering from the disease.
Agaricus 30 – Agaricus belongs to the mushroom family that includes both poisonous and edible varieties. Agaricus has proved to be an effective homeopathic medicine providing relief for several medical conditions. Homeopathic medication is prepared from the Agaricus fungus by collecting them as a whole and they are washed and pounded to pulverized powder. Also, the dried cap is the best alternative for fresh mushrooms. The powder is then steeped in alcohol. Later on, it is filtered and stirred.
Phytum 30 – This is a flowering plant belonging to the family of Boraginaceae. Its roots and other parts of the plant offer a remedy to different health conditions. Primarily it helps in treating inflammation and relieves pain. The tincture of the fresh rootstock collected before flowering is found to be very effective. In fact, it is called a bone setter as it strengthens the bone and even cures fractures.
We found that Agaricus 30, Phytum 30 with other homeopathy medicines relieved the patient from pain and reduced inflammation over a period. We suggested the patient to continue with the medicines.
