I treat RA with very aggressive medication, usually with disease modifying meds such as methotrexate, along with plaquenil, plaque illness, sulfasalazine, and, if not sufficient, adding a biologic, such as adalimumab or etanercept.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease of inflammation, so adding anti-inflammatory herbs and spices to your diet might sound like a good idea. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), though, there's not enough evidence to support the use of particular herbs or spices as effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis. Still, a number of herbs and spices do have anti-inflammatory properties.
