A CASE STUDY: AYURVEDIC INTERVENTION ON AMAVATA W.S.R. TO RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Introduction: The primary pathogenic factors that cause Amavata are Ama and Vata. It is Madhyam Roga-marga's illness. Agnimandya causes Amavata, an Ama pradoshaja vikara, which causes Ama to accumulate in Shleshmasthana and Prakopa of Vata dosha, causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling that is similar to rheuma-toid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. In India, the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is be-tween 0.5 to 0.75%, while it is roughly 0.8% globally. Materials and Methods: In the current instance, a 26-year-old woman was admitted to our outpatient department (OPD) with a history of morning stiffness and dis-comfort in several joints for a year, as well as swelling in her wrist and hand joints for two months. Amavata is the result of a thorough history and clinical assessment. The patient received Amavata-style treatment based on the signs and symptoms. For 60 days, oral medications were taken in addition to Langhana, Deepana-Pachana, and Sthanik Ruksha Swedana. Subjective criteria were used for grading before treatment, and the grade was low-ered following treatment. Both during and after the treatment, no adverse effects were noticed. Results: There was a significant improvement in overall symptoms. Conclusion: Since it is an autoimmune disease, modern medicine has long provided DMARDS and steroid medicines. However, Panchakarma treatments can address the underlying cause of Vyadhi and offer more encouraging outcomes.
