Question

My mom is 48 and has been dealing with RA for 17 years, mostly on allopathic meds like DMARDS and Methotrexate. In 2015, she got diagnosed with ILD and was treated with Cyclophosphamide at AIIMS. Recently, she developed Avascular necrosis in both hips (stage 2 and 3) from long-term steroid use and had core decompression surgery. Now her doctors want to stop steroids and switch to Rituximab IV. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment that can completely cure these conditions? If yes, how long would the treatment take and what would it involve?
