Hello. My husband was diagnosed with Takayasu Arteritis in April of this year. His treatment includes prednisone & methotrexate. He is finally down to 6mgs & feels another relapse coming on. Are there all natural remedies that treat takayasu arteritis? Also, are there all natural treatments that help with tapering off prednisone & methotrexate?Thank you,KB
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor At present there are no herbal or natural treatment methods available for this condition. Some persons may experience a self limited disease, whereas others may have a progressive disease or one that relapse and remits. Steroids are the main stay of treatment, with or without the addition of other medications. If your husband is starting to notice returning symptoms of this condition, then he needs to inform his doctors. The dose of the medication may need to be increased. I hope this helps
