Second on the list is the gamma-linolenic acid. Different studies showed that it is different than omega-3 fatty acids as it can improve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. You can find it in black currant seed oil, borage oil and evening primrose oils. The problem is that, although it may be a good natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, such ingredients are hard to find.
Herbal medicine is also highly valuable when it comes to natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. We have two herbs, boswellia and Devil’s Claw that can provide results. Boswellia has an active ingredient in boswellic acid, one that blocks chemical reactions involved in inflammation. This makes it perfect to use when talking about rheumatoid arthritis and is available in pill form. Devil’s claw is a plant that can be found in South Africa. Believe it or not, it was used in the region since thousands of years ago in aiding fights against fever, pancreas diseases, stomach diseases, skin conditions and even rheumatoid arthritis. The problem with both plants is that there is a need for further research in order to have concrete evidence that it actually has a beneficial effect. In any case, no matter what natural treatment for rheumatoid arthritis you chose, you must keep in mind that it must be in a mix with conventional medication that was proven to have results.
