Rheumatoid Arthritis

According to Ayurveda, Rheumatoid arthritis is correlated to Ama vata. Due to various etiological factors, the ama (toxins) and Vata get vitiated and combine, travel through the body, and take their abode in the lower part of the spine, joints, stomach, chest, and heart. This further enters the circulatory system and results in the symptoms of ama Vata.

Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Tenderness in the joints, especially tiny joints
• Swelling in the joints
• Stiffness in the joints, which worsens in the morning 
• Fatigue even without doing any activity
• Heaviness in the whole body
• Lethargy
• Anorexia or tasteless mouth
• Burning sensation in the body
• Occasional fever or rise of temperature in the affected joints
• Poor or loss of appetite
• The symptoms first occur in the smaller joints (fingers of hands and toes of feet) and tend to develop to bigger joints. As the disease progresses, symptoms often spread to wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips and shoulders. 

It is important to get your symptoms assessed, diet customised and initiate a treatment plan for rheumatoid arthritis. We, at Sitaram Ayurveda, with a legacy of over 100 years, can help you manage your illness with expertise.
