Exploring Ayurvedic Solutions for Rheumatoid Arthritis in Kerala

Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in Ayurveda

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition where the body's defense system mistakenly attacks joints, causing swelling and pain. In Ayurveda, this correlates with "amavata," characterized by elevated vata aggravated by metabolic toxins impacting the joints. Shared symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

Contributing Lifestyle Factors

Several lifestyle factors, such as Virudhahara (incompatible food combinations), Mandagni (weak digestion), and Snigdhahara Bhojanam (consumption of oily foods), can contribute to the formation of ama and exacerbate amavata.

Recognizing Cardinal Symptoms

Key symptoms of amavata include Sandhi shoola (joint pain), Sandhi shotha (joint swelling), Stabdhata (joint stiffness), Sparshashatva (joint tenderness), and Sashabda sandhi (crepitation in joints).

General Signs and Symptoms

Amavata manifests as Angamarda (bodyache), Aruchi (loss of appetite), Trishna (excessive thirst), Alasya (lethargy), Gaurava (heaviness), Jvara (fever), and Apaka (indigestion).
