Dr. G. Vinay Mohan*, Dr. Girishkumar Dharmannavar and Dr. Vandana Thipparapu
ABSTRACT
Amavata is a chronic autoimmune disorder, equated with rheumatoid arthritis in modern science, characterized by pain, stiffness, and swelling of joints. Ayurveda describes Amavata as a disease caused by Ama (undigested metabolic toxins) and vitiated Vata Dosha. Recent advancements in gut microbiota research reveal its critical role in autoimmune conditions, offering an opportunity to revisit Amavata’s pathophysiology through the lens of Ayurveda and modern science. This article explores the interplay between gut health, Ama formation, and immune dysregulation, aiming to present a novel integrative perspective for better therapeutic outcomes.
