Abstract
The Ayurvedic system of medicine is generally known for its potential to treat rheumatic diseases. However, documentations in international literature are scarce due to several reasons: Western and Ayurvedic medical systems are based on different conceptual frameworks and have no common disease entities. Ayurvedic treatments are often individualized treatments with complex phytochemical compositions. To address these challenges we analysed the Ayurvedic disease entities related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by literature [1]. Further, in an open observational pilot study, a team of Indian Western and Ayurvedic physicians diagnosed patients as RA (ARA-criteria 1987) [2] followed by the Ayurvedic diagnosis [1, 2].
