Abstract

CONCEPT OF AMAVATA IN AYURVEDA

Prahlad Meena*, Pramod Kumar Mishra and Indumati Sharma

ABSTRACT

The word Amavata is created by combining the two words Ama and Vata. This disorder is often caused by Agni derangement, which includes, Bhutagni, Dhatvagni, and Jatharagni generating Ama, which is subsequently spread by the vitiated Vata and placed in the Shleshmasthana (Amashaya, Asthisandhi, etc.), resulting in discomfort, oedema and swelling around the major and minor joints, eventually making an individual crippled. It is disease of Rasavaha srotasa. Due to hetu sevan when Ama combines with aggravated Vata, pathogenesis of Amavata occurs. Rheumatoid arthritis is directly linked to these symptoms. It is a persistent degenerative illness primarily affecting the joints that affects the connective tissue. Since RA is an autoimmune disease, healthy body tissue is attacked by the immune system. But it's not always clear why this attack occurred. Amavata is a tough ailment for clinicians to treat due to its chronicity, incurability, complications, and morbidity. In allopathy treatment, NSAIDS and steroids are advised since they relieve symptoms. Agnimandya, Amotpatti, and Sandhivikriti cause the disease Amavata. Therefore, in Ayurveda the goal of treating Amavata is to balance Vata and rectify Agni in order to maintain a healthy Sandhi and Sandhistha Shleshma. The first precise description of Amavata as a disease is found in Madhav Nidan.
