A CASE STUDY OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS IN AMAVATA

Abstract

The terms Ama and Vata are combined to form Amavata. Agni derangements, suchas Jatharagni, Dhatvagni, Bhutagni, etc., are frequently the cause of the illness. Thisleads to the production of Ama, which circulates throughout the body viavitiatedVata and is positioned in the Shleshmasthana (Amashaya, Asthisandhi, etc.), causing pain, stiffness, and swelling over both small and large joints, ultimatelyrendering a person lame. Based on their shared medical characteristics, Amavata'sscientific presentation closely resembles the distinct spectrumof rheumatological problems known as rheumatoid arthritis. A persistent inflammatory, unfavourable, and deforming symmetrical polyarthritis with systemic involvement is calledrheumatoid arthritis (RA).
