Reiter's Syndrome - Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment


Reiter's syndrome, also known as seronegative spondyloarthropathy or reactive arthritis, is a combination of symptoms involving the joints, eyes and the urinary tract. This condition is believed to be caused by a bacterial infection and is commonly associated with a genetic factor known as HLA-B27. This condition most often affects young men between the age of 20 and 40. Common symptoms include frequency of urination; burning urine; fever; chills; swelling and pain in joints and tendon insertions; conjunctivitis and uveitis; and rarely, ulcers on the penis, feet and hands, mouth ulcers, and heart disease.

The Ayurvedic treatment of Reiter's syndrome is aimed at treating the basic infection, controlling the symptoms, and improving the immune status of the body. Medicines like Sukshma-Triphala, Triphala-Guggulu and Panch-Tikta-Ghrut-Guggulu can be used to treat the basic infection. Symptoms related to the genito-urinary tract can be treated using medicines like Chandraprabha-Vati, Gokshuradi-Guggulu, Punarnavadi-Qadha, Gomutra-Haritaki, Ashokarishta and Chandrakala-Ras. Herbal medicines which can be used for genito-urinary problems include Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), Shilajit (Purified bitumen), Haridra (Curcuma longa), Daruharidra (Berberis aristata), Saariva (Hemidesmus indicus), Gokshur (Tribulus terrestris), Varun (Crataeva nurvala), Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia), Rasna (Pluchea lanceolata), Ashoka (Saraca indica), Udumbar (Ficus glomerata) and Shalmali (Bombax malabaricum).

Joint pain and swelling can be treated using medicines like Punarnavadi-Guggulu, Maha-Rasnadi-Guggulu, Yograj-Guggulu, Vat-Gajankush-Ras, Maha-Vat-Vidhwans-Ras, Trayodashang-Guggulu, Dashmoolarishta, Vish-Tinduk-Vati, Nirgundi (Vitex negundo), Sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina), Tagar (Valeriana wallichii) and Khurasani ova (Hyoscyamus niger). Conjunctivitis and uveitis can be treated using Tapyadi-Loh, Saptamrut-Loh, Punarnavadi-Guggulu, Triphala-Ghrut and eye drops containing Haridra, Daruharidra, Chandan (Santalum album), Karpur (Purified camphor), rose water and honey. Nodules on the hands, feet and penis can be treated using medicines like Triphala-Guggulu, Arogya-Vardhini and Gandhak-Rasayan. Mouth ulcers can be treated using Kamdudha-Ras, Shankh-Bhasma and Jeerak (Cuminum cyminum).

Most people affected with Reiter's syndrome recover within a few months, though symptoms of arthritis may last longer. Ayurvedic medicines help to improve the therapeutic response, speed up the recovery process and prevent recurrence of symptoms.

  2. I began experiencing sharp pain and stiffness in my right hand. This pain always occurs in the morning and may not go away. I thought that I hurt my hand somehow but I could not remember what I did. I also began to experience extreme fatigue and malaise. About 4 months later, I went to the doctor and after many repeat blood tests to rule out Lyme disease and Lupus, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I was adjusting to the medications Plaquenil and methotrexate, but they make me feel sick also. I had a ringing in my ears and loss of appetite. I sometimes had problems writing, dressing, or writing with my right hand.When the medication no longer helps, i was introduced to Health herbal clinic in Johannesburg who have successful herbal treatment to rheumatoid arthritis diseases. I spoke to few people who used the treatment here in United States and they all gave a positive response, so i immediately purchased the rheumatoid arthritis herbal remedy and commenced usage, i used the herbal supplement for only 5 weeks, all symptoms gradually faded away, herbs are truly gift from God. contact this herbal clinic via their email healthherbalclinic @ gmail. com or visit www. healthherbalclinic. weebly. com
