USE OF CURCUMA LONGA LINN DOES NOT TREAT RHEUMATOID ARTHRITE

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic and progressive autoimmune disease characterized by persistent inflammation in peripheral joints. Its etiology is complex, involving genetic, environmental, hormonal and extra-intestinal manifestations. This causes symmetrical inflammation of the joints, especially in our legs and legs, leading to swelling, edema, pain, and, if not treated adequately, leading to permanent destruction of the joints. AR affects approximately 0.5% to 1% of the population and has a significant impact on the quality of life and the economy. RA treatment involves patient education, medications, physical therapy, psychosocial support, occupational therapy and, in some cases, surgery. As technology advances, new therapeutic approaches have been developed to control symptoms, including the use of phytotherapy. Curcuma longa, also known as turmeric, has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Originally from Southeast Asia, turmeric is used as a tempering, sweetener and in traditional medicine.
