8. MODERN TREATMENT
The mainstay of modern
treatment is early use of
Disease Modifying
antirheumatic drugs.
The main aim is controlling
the progressive nature of the
disease."induction of
remission"
And for this the patient
have to take the medicine for
a lifetime.
9. Biologic therapy
The latest biologic
therapy is the injectible
form of medicine
prescribed in high disease
activity patients.Or when
Oral DMARDs therapy
doesnt seem to respond.
These medicines
directly attack the
chemicals released by the
action of autoantibodies.
10. This action of
the biologics
causes immune
suppression.
Time being it
may control the
inflammatory
process but in
turn leads to long
term side effects.
11. UNANI CONCEPT
In Unani classical text it is most likely to be due to dominance of the
phlegmatic humour
.Waja ul mafasil results from accumulation of mawad e fasida
(morbid matter) in the mafasil (joints).This is due to zauf in quwat e
muddabir e badan (immunity) which fails to expel the morbid matter.
Unani treatment not only strengthens quwat e muddabir e badan
but also saves the body from long term side effects.
The line of treatment of RA mainly involves evacuation of morbid
matter either by ILAJ BIL GHIZA, ILAJ BID DAWA ,ILAJ BIDTADBEER.
12. ILAJ BIL GHIZA-DIETOTHERAPY
All cold and phlegm producing diets
must be avoided
Dietary Recommendations

and fish are beneficial in arthritis.
Dietary restrictions

17. Exercise -Riyazat
Acc to Unani classical
text one of the few
aggravating factor of
arthritis is turk e
riyazat.
Strengthened
muscles helps the joint
function properly.
18. TAKE HOME MESSAGE
My purpose of taking this topic as a
presentation
To highlight
Limitations of modern medicine in a
immunogenetic etiology disease .
And Scope of Unani medicine in the
same.
Thus we should strive in such fields
where the other medicine has got
limitations for the patient and for
ourselves.
