Key Ingredients & Their Actions:
Ferrum phos. (8x) ? Rheumatic Pain & Inflammation:

Ferrum phos. is a remedy for articular rheumatism and general rheumatic pain. It helps with symptoms like a stiff neck, pain in the shoulder that radiates to the chest and wrist, and jerking in limbs. It is effective for conditions where pain shifts from one joint to another, as well as for sprains and loss of grip strength in the wrist.
Lithium carb. (8x) ? Joint Pain & Nodular Swellings:

Lithium carb. is indicated for rheumatic pain affecting small joints such as the fingers, arms, and shoulders. It also helps with nodular swellings in the joints and can relieve paralytic stiffness in the body. Soreness in the fingers may improve with grasping and applying hot water to the affected area.
Natrum sulph. (8x) ? Rheumatism & Cold Damp Weather:

Natrum sulph. is especially useful for rheumatic pain that worsens in damp, cold weather. It helps with the pain in limbs that causes the person to change positions frequently, as well as trembling in the hands, especially on waking up or when writing.
Nux vomica (4x) ? Muscle Weakness & Loss of Power:

Nux vomica is beneficial for sudden loss of power in the arms and legs, particularly in the morning. It addresses the muscle weakness and stiffness often seen with rheumatic conditions, and helps with a sense of heaviness or lack of coordination.
Rhododendron (4x) ? Rheumatic Pain & Stiffness:

Rhododendron is a well-known remedy for rheumatic tearing pain, especially on the right side. This pain tends to worsen when the person is at rest or during stormy weather. It is particularly useful for pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists, which gets worse when not in motion.
Mode of Action:
This combination works by addressing the inflammation, pain, and stiffness that accompany rheumatic conditions:

Ferrum phos. promotes healing and reduces inflammation in the muscles and joints.
Lithium carb. helps with joint mobility and reduces nodular swellings while alleviating pain, especially in smaller joints.
Natrum sulph. relieves pain that is aggravated by cold and damp weather and helps with trembling and painful stiffness in the limbs.
Nux vomica helps reduce muscle weakness and lack of coordination, making it useful for early morning symptoms.
Rhododendron targets pain in the limbs that is worse at rest, and it provides relief from stiffness, especially during weather changes.
