Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects all the joints. In some people it affects a wide variety of body systems including Skin, Eyes, Lungs, Heart, Kidneys, Salivary glands, Nerves etc. It is an Auto-Immune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks its own body tissues. If it is untreated or improperly treated, it leads to joint deformity and finger deformity.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is known as “Amavata” according to Ayurveda. The word Amavata comprises Ama and Vata. Ama means “improperly digested essence of food” and Vata is one of the Tridoshas in Ayurveda.
Causes of Amavata
1. Intake of Viruddha ahara(incompatible foods), 2. Irregular lifestyle, 3. Intake of Snigdha ahara (oily food, fried food, fast food, junk food), 4. Lack of exercise (Nischalatha) – sedentary lifestyle, 5. Psychological factors like Kama (Desire), Krodha(anger), Lobha (Greediness), Moha (Delusion), Shoka(Greif) , Manodvega (Stress), Bhaya (Fear)
“कामक्रोधलोभमोहेर्ष्याहीशोकमानोद्वेगभयोपतप्तमनसा
वा यदन्नपानमुपयुज्यते, तदप्याममेव प्रदूषयति ॥ ८ ॥”
Due to the above mentioned causes, Ama formed in the Gut with the help of vitiated Vata circulates throughout the body. Wherever this ama localizes, accordingly the disease is manifested in that particular organ. Especially Ama localizes in all joints, thereby it causes inflammation of joints causing pain.
