Complete remission of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis with lithium carbonicum: A homeopathic case report

Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent synovitis, raised inflammatory markers, and circulating autoantibodies such as Rheumatoid Factor (RF). The typical clinical phenotype of RA is a symmetrical, deforming, small and large joint polyarthritis, often associated with systemic disturbance and extra-articular disease. This case report presents the complete clinical and laboratory remission of a 34-year-old female with seropositive RA, severe small-joint involvement, and markedly elevated RA factor (34.60IU/mL). Individualized homeopathic treatment with Lithium Carbonicum resulted in significant symptomatic relief and normalization of laboratory parameters. This case highlights the importance of precise remedy selection and the efficacy of homeopathic management in chronic autoimmune disorders.
