ABSTRACT

Amavata, a pathological disease, results from a failure of Agni, the digestive fire. This malfunction results in the formation of Ama, a biotoxin, and exacerbates the Vata Dosha. In most cases, Amavata is the result of Vata becoming out of balance in conjunction with the production of Ama itself. Having the Ama interact with the Vata Dosha and residing in the Shleshmasthana (Asthisandhi) is what causes the situation that is referred to as "Amavata."Due to the fact that amavata and rheumatoid arthritis share similar clinical characteristics, the two conditions can be linked together. The autoimmune illness known as rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by the development of persistent symmetrical polyarthritis that encompasses the entire body. The use of glucocorticoids, NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs), DMARDs (Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs), and immunosuppressive therapy are all components of the management approach that is utilized in contemporary medical practice. Which, when used for an extended period of time, causes a number of adverse effects. Ayurveda takes a natural approach to addressing illness, without causing any unintended consequences. A reference was made by Acharya Chakradatta to Chikitsa Siddhanta for the treatment of Amavata. This treatment consists of Langhana, Swedana, and the application of substances with Tikta and Katu Rasa characteristics that have Dipana and Pachan characteristics together. Employing Virechana, Snehapana, and Vasti when necessary. In the practices of Amapachana, Vatashamana, Strotosshodhana, and Sthana Balya, these techniques are quite helpful. With the help of this Chikitsa Siddhanta, a patient being diagnosed with Amavata was successfully treated. Following the completion of treatment, a notable improvement in the signs and symptoms was observed. Throughout the course of treatment, there were no issues discovered.
