Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It typically results in warm, swollen, and painful joints. Pain and stiffness often worsen following rest. Most commonly, the wrist and hands are involved, with the same joints typically involved on both sides of the body. The disease may also affect other parts of the body. This may result in a low red blood cell count, inflammation around the lungs, and inflammation around the heart. Fever and low energy may also be present. Often, symptoms come on gradually over weeks to months. The concept of use of herbal therapy for the treatment of RA is as ancient as mankind and civilization. Herbal medicine and therapy are nowa- days widely used by the common people because of concept of fewer side effects and with a better safety and security profile as compared to modern allopathic medication. The present work was aimed to formulate herbal oil using various herbs viz., satavari, brahmi, ratanjot, harjod, eucalyptus etc., for the treatment of arthritis. The formulated herbal oil was evaluated and various parameters such as viscosity, saponification value, pH etc., were determined and are reported in this paper.
