Rheumatoid arthritis ayurveda Definition and causes
In Rheumatoid Arthritis the lining of joints or lining of
internal organs are inflamed . This disease may be chronic ( lasts
for a long time ) or may flare up intermittently. The inflammation
of lining of joints causes swelling, pain, redness, stiffness and
warmth in the affected region . The cells of inflamed lining release
enzymes which may harm the related bone and cartilage. This process
may cause deformity of joint, pain and may restrict joint movements.
In ayurveda there is very detailed description about Rheumatoid
arthritis or "Ama vata". It has been described as
" Sa Kashtaha Sarvarogaanaam yadaa
prakupito Bhavet |
Hastha paada shiro gulpha trika jaanu uru sandhishu ||
Karoti sarujam shopham yatra doshaha prapadyate |
Sa desho rujate atyatham vyaviddha iva vrishchkaihi || "
This means " If the disease "ama vata" (rheumatoid arthritis) becomes chronic the joints ( sandhi )of hands (Hastha), feet ( paada) , ankles and elbow (gulpha ) , low back ( trika ) , knee ( jaanu ) , and hip ( uru ) become inflamed and painful. The pain in affected joints resembles the pain of a scorpion's sting."

Causes:
The exact cause of Rheumatoid arthritis is not known. But
immunologists have discovered that Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto
immune disease. Some may have a tendency to inherit this disease.
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is very well explained
in ayurveda. The rheumatoid arthritis is caused by formation of "ama
"
(Ama is a toxin that is produced by imbalanced body fire ). The
toxin ama is carried by imbalanced vata ( one of the three energetic
forces ) and reaches the kapha ( one of the three energetic forces )
dominated places like joints, stomach , chest , brain etc. This
toxin becomes sticky due to imbalanced doshas and blocks the vital
channels which nourish the body.
The sticky toxin ama not only affects the joints but also spreads
all over the body . The channels ( channels like arteries,
intercellular spaces , pores in cells etc are called srotas ) which
allow nutrients to flow through and nourish body tissues , cells get
partially blocked. This leads to a decreased supply of nutrients to
body tissues and cells . Thus the immunity of the body gets lowered
, the appetite reduces , the body becomes weak due to insufficient
nourishment of body tissues.
The ama which gets harbored in joints acts like a foreign substance
and triggers the immune system. This leads to inflammation of
linings of joints .
