Abstract

Rheumatism is a painful joint disease. It is more frequent in female, due to an abnormal uric acid metabolism. The cause is raised serum uric acid level and deposition of uric acid crystal in cartilage of joints, resulting in recurrent attacks of pain and inflammations. Modern medicines do not have any cure for this disease, except their prevention and temporary relief. However, traditional herbal remedies do have a cure. A decoction, oral powder, herbal oil or hot formulation prepared from some household herbs is an excellent remedy for rheumatism, which is discussed in the present paper.
