Materials and Methods: A total of 40 male albino rats weighing (140±10g) were used in this study. Rats were divided into 8 group, first group fed on basal diet as a control negative group, the second group were injected by 0. 1ml of complete fruend's adjuvant and used as a positive control group ,while the other groups were fed on basal diets blended with 5-10% of the white mulberry, black mulberry, turmeric as powder for 28 days. Results: The results showed that turmeric, black mulberry and white mulberry record the better results in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), and C reactive protein (CRP) at entry, Rheumatoid factor (RF), Anti cyclic citrullinated peptide (Anti-CCP) because of its anti-cancer, anti-inflam-matory, anti-diabetic, and anti-rheumatic properties associated with good tolerability and safety.
