Abstract
Amavata is one of the most common diseases caused by Agni (indigestion) disorders. Formation of Ama (biotoxin) and distortion of Vata Dosha. Amavata is mainly formed due to the corruption of Vata along with the formation of Ama. Ama combines with Vata Dosha and occupies Slesmasthana (Astisandi), from which “Amavata” emerges. Amabata may be associated with rheumatoid arthritis due to similar clinical characteristics. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic symmetric polyarthritis with systemic involvement. Modern scientific treatment includes the use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs). Long-term use of glucocorticoids, DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), and immunosuppressants causes many side effects. Ayurveda treats this naturally and without any side effects. Acharya Chakradatta mentioned Chikitsa Siddhanta for the administration of Amavata, consisting of Langana, Swedana, and the use of drugs with the properties of Tikta, Katu Rasa and Deepana, Virechana, Snehapana and Basti. These methods are helpful for Amapachana, Vatashaman, Strotoshodhana and Sthana Balya. With the help of this Chikitsa Siddhanta, Amavata's case was successfully treated. After treatment, signs and symptoms improved significantly.
