New research shows that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be on the rise among women. While most RA patients need medication to stop joint erosion, the following natural approaches may help, says rheumatologist Daniel Muller, M.D.
- Fish oil: it contains omega-3 fatty acids that reduce inflammation, the driving force behind this autoimmune disorder.
- Mind-body practices: Yoga, meditation, and the like can help relieve stress, a known trigger for RA flare-ups.
- Fasting: Scientists don't know why, but fasting can help people with RA recover more quickly from flare-ups.
