WThat is Immunology ?
Immunology is the study of the immune system and
is a very important branch of the vamedical and
biological sciences. The immune system protects
us from infection through rious lines of defence.
If the immune system is not functioning as it
should, it can result in disease, such as
autoimmunity, allergy and cancer.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PRODUCTS
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune
disease in which the body immune system which
normally protects its health by attacking foreign
substances like bacteria and viruses mistakenly
attacks the joints. This creates inflammation
that causes the tissue that lines the inside of
joints (the synovium) to thicken, resulting in
swelling and pain in and around the joints. The
synovium makes a fluid that lubricates joints and
helps them move smoothly.
