Exploring rheumatism remedies through the lens of homoeopathic plant families

Abstract

Rheumatic diseases, also known as musculoskeletal diseases, predominantly affect joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles. These conditions present clinical symptoms like pain, stiffness, and inflammation, leading to disability and impairment of daily activities. These diseases occur due to a range of factors, including ageing, degenerative issues, and abnormal immune responses. Rheumatic diseases affect more women than men and are often misdiagnosed as symptoms of several endocrine diseases such as diabetes or thyroid disorders. Conventional medications for rheumatism often result in impaired vital organ functions, leading people to search for safer and more effective treatments, such as Homoeopathic medication. This article delves into the use of homeopathic plant family remedies for rheumatism, using Dr. Yakir's chart for a better understanding of these remedies. The classification of Rheumatic remedies according to their kingdom has expanded the possibilities of using previously underutilized treatments with increased accuracy and simplicity.
