Hello, Unfortunately there is no treatment then what your wife is getting. I would suggest you to stick with that treatment. Ayurved and unani are not helpful and can cause complications. I would recommend :
1.Tablet HCQ
2.Tablet SAAZ
3.Tablet Methotrexate
4. Medrol for short periods.
Avoid steroids for long time.
