Introduction

Amavata is among the most common health complaints in medical practice specially In females and most prevalent of all musculoskeletal disorders. Recent studies have shown that womern are three times more affected that men from amavata (RA).It is the most common form of chronic inflammation affecting approximately 1% of adult population. In India as per calculations almost 10 lakh people suffer from this type of arthritis.

In this modern era of improper lifestyle and unstable diet pattern, it is the most neglected part of life where one gives least importance to the timing, duration and quality of dietary habit and pattern. Mandagni plays an important role in causing ama formation and it is sensitive to disturbances due to many internal and external influences like diet and enviormental factors.In modern science, amavata is correlated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).it is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory systemic disease.Modern DMARDs,Steroids are immunodepressent due to its patients have  hazardous withdrawal effects.

Discussion

The statistically significant relief was observed in cardinal symptoms of Amavata (RA) in the patient. This proves that the drug are effective in alleviating the cardinal symptoms of RA. The drug are having Vata pacifying properties due to their Ushna (digestive and metabolism stimulating) and Tikshna (penetrating) properties.

Conclusion

 As per the Ayurveda in chronic stage of disease Agni Bala (digestive capacity) of the patients and Vyadikshamatva (immunity) of the patients are reduced. Hence, it was difficult to achieve better result with short duration of therapy in such cases
