Do you mean does one go into remission from RA with herbs? The answer is no. One may use the herbs or supplements to take care of some of the inflammation. It is misinformation to say one goes into remission on herbs. I would challenge these patients to prove they truly are diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis an autoimmune disease, or osteoarthritis.
If you have any questions the American College of Rheumatology has evidenced based peer review literature to provide the truth in recommendations for RA care and treatment for remission.

I would be very cautious. I pursued the natural approach for about 15 months. I religiously followed the AIP diet, worked on my stress levels, did yoga, popped a zillion supplements, worked on improving my gut health, and on and on. I was working with an integrative physician who ultimately sent me back to a rheumatologist because the damage to my hands and feet was becoming visible. Now, I still use what I learned from the more holistic approach and combined it with medication and things are much, much better.

Like I said no natural remedies used alone are able to treat RA. People that are adamant about natural are doing more harm than good. RA inflammation left untreated affects the heart, kidneys and every other organ in your body until you die from complications

While natural remedies can help manage rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms, they should not replace prescribed medications.

While natural remedies can help manage rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms, they should not replace prescribed medications. Some people find relief using complementary therapies like acupuncture, herbal supplements, or dietary changes. However, it's crucial to consult with a doctor before trying any alternative treatments, as they can interfere with RA medications or cause side effects. Always follow your doctor's advice and remember that natural does not always mean safe.
