Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints as well as in other organs in the body. Autoimmune diseases occurs when the body's tissues are mistakenly attacked by their own immune system.  Patients with autoimmune diseases have antibodies in their blood that target their own body tissues.  

In Allopathy,RA usually requires lifelong treatment, including medications includes pain killers, anti inflammatory drugs  and possibly surgery.

It is described as “Aamvata” in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda ,there are herbal medicines which cure the patient without any side effects. We have successfully   treated several patients  with Ayurvedic medicines  who were suffering from this problem.

What causes rheumatoid arthritis (Aamvata) in Ayurveda?

As per Ayurveda, the word ‘Aam’ means toxic material generated as  unwholesome product in the body due to weakening of digestive fire. This ‘Aam’ is then carried by ‘Vayu’ and travels throughout the body and accumulates in the joints, which is the seat of ‘Kapha’. As this process continuous, all the Joints are gradually affected, which results in Severe Pain and Swelling in the Joints. When ‘Pitta’ also gets aggravated, it causes Burning Sensation around the Joints

In modern science, the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown. Even though infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi have long been suspected, none has been proven as the cause.  It is believed that the tendency to develop rheumatoid arthritis may be genetically inherited (hereditary).

 Symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis (Aamvata)?   

When the disease is active, symptoms can include

·        Joints frequently become red, swollen, painful, and tender.

·         Low-grade fever,

·        Muscle and joint stiffness are usually most notable in the morning and after periods of inactivity.

·        Fatigue, loss of energy,

·         Lack of appetite,

·         Muscle and joint aches, and stiffness.

Signs and tests

There is no test that can determine for sure whether you have RA. Most patients with RA will have some abnormal test results, although for some patients, all tests will be normal.

Two lab tests that often help in the diagnosis are:

•         Rheumatoid factor test 

•         Anti-CCP antibody test

Other tests that may be done include:

•         Complete blood count

•         C-reactive protein

•         Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

•         Joint ultrasound or MRI

•         Joint x-rays

•         Synovial fluid analysis

 Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)- Aamvata in Ayurveda

                                           

Our Ancient Acharayas has mentioned several classical ayurvedic formulations for the cure of Rheumatoid Arthritis (Aamvata).  Ayurvedic  herbal preparations  cures by establishing the equilibrium of Tridosha(Vata,pitta,kapha)and sapt dhatus (body tissues).

v In Ayurveda, the main treatment in Aamvata is Aam dosha pachan and further Aam visha nishkaasan chikitsa.

·         There are several herbs named

·        Sunthi

·        Erand

·        Maricha

·        Pippali

·        chitrak

·        Rasna

·        Guggulu

·        Karanj

·        Puti karanj

There are several Classical preparations named

·        Vaishvanar churnam

·        Erand tailam

·        Maharasnadi kwath

·        chitrakadi vati

·        Sinhnaad guggulu

In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar, Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these parameters are  studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also  decides what kind of mode of  preparation to be used for the patient. Panch KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,)  is based on this principle.

·        So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician

Expecting a baby  is an exciting moment for every woman.   The hormones and emotions changes  by every passing day during pregnancy. Nausea during early days of pregnancy creates irritability in the woman.A common concern is “Am I going to feel this awful for another seven months?”.

 Morning sickness, also called nausea gravidarum, nausea, vomiting of pregnancy (emesis gravidarum or NVP), or pregnancy sickness is a condition that affects more than half of all pregnant women. Sometimes symptoms are present in the early hours of the morning and reduce as the day progresses. However, in spite of its common name, it can occur at any time of the day.    

Ayurveda provides effective and safe remedy for morning sickness. We have successfully   treated several pregnant women  with Ayurvedic medicines  who were suffering from this problem.

 What causes  Morning Sickness

• An increase in the circulating level of the hormone estrogen.
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) due to the placenta's draining energy from the mother.
• An increase in progesterone relaxes the muscles in the uterus, which prevents early childbirth, but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
