Living with rheumatoid arthritis isn’t easy. The pain, fatigue, and mobility issues can really get you down. And while medications help, they also come with side effects. If you’re looking for rheumatoid arthritis natural treatment options, you’re not alone.
Many people want to try complementary therapies alongside standard care. In this post, I’ll walk you through the most promising natural RA treatments, common symptoms, and an intriguing new therapy called biomagnetism that’s getting attention.
Types and Symptoms
Types
When it comes to rheumatoid arthritis, not all cases are the same. There are actually a few different types of RA that can affect folks. Let me break them down.
Seropositive RA: This is the most common type—about 70-80% of RA patients have it. With seropositive RA, there are specific antibodies in the blood that can be detected with a test.
Seronegative RA: In seronegative RA cases, those tell-tale antibodies don’t show up on blood tests even though someone has swelling and damage in their joints.
Juvenile RA: Unfortunately, RA can strike at any age, even in kids. Juvenile RA (or juvenile idiopathic arthritis) usually starts before age 16. The symptoms are similar to adult RA.
Mild RA: A small percentage of people have a milder form of RA that responds really well to treatment. They may go long periods in remission with their joints looking and feeling pretty normal.
Symptoms
Because RA is an autoimmune condition that causes chronic joint inflammation, some of the most common symptoms include:
- Joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and tenderness – especially in the hands, wrists, and knees
- Fatigue and feelings of weakness all over
- Firm lumps called rheumatoid nodules under the skin in places like the elbows
- Low-grade fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss during RA flares
- Difficulty with daily activities like grasping objects, getting dressed, or standing up from chairs
The symptoms of RA tend to come and go. You’ll experience symptom flares followed by periods of remission where you feel better. Tracking your symptoms helps you figure out what triggers arthritis for you.
Lots of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) feel helpless even after taking their traditional medicines from a health professional. They keep on having bad pain, swelling, and soreness in their joints that won’t go away.
That’s where biomagnetism therapy can come in to try managing RA symptoms better, when the usual medication just is not working enough.
Biomagnetism for Rheumatoid Arthritis
If you’re looking for a promising new natural RA treatment option, biomagnetism has been getting some buzz lately. Biomagnetism practitioners use magnets of varying strengths and polarities placed on specific points on the body.
The role of biomagnetism for rheumatoid arthritis
- The theory is that placing these biomagnets can correct imbalances in the body’s pH and energy flow. This allows the body to heal and reduce inflammation naturally.
- This therapy is a natural type of healing, not invasive at all, and 100% drug-free. It doesn’t involve taking any medications or supplements.
- For people with RA, biomagnetism could potentially reduce their pain levels, improve blood flow to those swollen, pain joints, and help their joints work and move properly again.
- The idea is that RA throws off the normal energy flow in the body, and biomagnetism brings it back into balance. This allows the body to heal itself and lower the nasty inflammation attacking the joints.
Since it’s not invasive, has no side effects, and doesn’t hurt, biomagnetism therapy is worth asking a rheumatologist about.
However, some RA patients who tried it along with their normal medications found it decreased their painful symptoms when nothing else gave relief.
Now, more studies are still needed to prove if biomagnetism really helps RA or not. And it will not replace regular medical treatment completely.
Natural Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Mind-body practices like meditation, yoga, tai chi, and deep breathing. Relaxing both your mind and body can work wonders.
- Supplements like omega-3 fatty acids and curcumin/turmeric. Always check with your doctor first before starting a new supplement.
- Hot and cold therapy can alleviate sore joints. Think hot packs, cold packs, baths, etc. Feels so good!
- Acupuncture performed by a licensed practitioner may provide arthritis pain relief. The gentle needles don’t bother me.
- Massage, either self-massage or professional, loosens up tight muscles and improves mobility. Ahhh…
- Low-impact exercise like walking, swimming, and stretching keeps you mobile. Start slow and listen to your body.
Along with this natural treatment you have to consult your rheumatologist or health professional before trying any new therapies. It’s all about finding what works for your unique symptoms.
FAQs About Biomagnetism and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Q1. Can I use biomagnetism along with RA medications?
Yes, you can use it together with your standard RA meds. Some folks use it for extra relief of symptoms. But it’s smart to check with your rheumatologist first before using biomagnetism.
Q2. Where do I find a biomagnetism practitioner?
Search online for testimonials and certified biomagnetism therapy practitioners with lots of experience in your local area. Check they have good RA patient reviews.
Q3. Should I stop my RA meds for biomagnetism?
No, don’t stop taking any of the medications prescribed by your health professional without asking them first! Biomagnetism will complement standard RA treatment by providing extra relief, not replace it entirely.
Q4.Is biomagnetism therapy safe?
Yes, it is considered very safe and not invasive at all. The magnets don’t hurt the body, they just make some people feel a mild tingling sensation. There are no known bad side effects of biomagnetism therapy.
Wrapping Up!
Even though there are lots of traditional medical treatments out there, folks today often look into more natural healing approaches too. If you want a natural option, Biomagnetism therapy could be worth trying out for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) relief.

Dr. Garcia is a well-known expert in the field of biomagnetism. He’s been studying and using it for 14 years now with patients. His life’s mission is to make biomagnetic pair therapy available to more people who need it.
To do that, he travels all across the USA giving training sessions and teaching other practitioners how to safely use biomagnetism. He also offers online training programs so even more people can learn this therapy. Hundreds of his students now actively practice biomagnetism therapy to help patients.
