Phytomedicine in Joint Disorders
Abstract
Chronic joint inflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis share an upsurge of inflammation and oxidative stress. Medicinal plants are a promising alternative to conventional medication, with a lower rate of adverse events and efficiency frequently comparable to conventional drugs. This review summarizes the available scientific information on joint-friendly medicinal plants tested in human studies, among them Arnica montana, used topically for inflammatory and rheumatic joint complaints.
