Rheumatoid Arthritis is a Joint Disorder, which affects Multiple Joints at various sites. It is described as “ Amavata” in Ayurveda. The word ‘ Ama’ means Toxic material generated as a un wholesome product in the body due to weakening of digestive fire. This ‘ Ama’ is then carried by ‘Vayu’ and travels throughout the body and accumulates in the joints, which is the seat of ‘Kapha’. As this process continuous, all the Joints are gradually affected, which results in Severe Pain and Swelling in the Joints. When ‘Pitta’ also gets aggravated, it causes Burning Sensation around the Joints. |
