Abstract

Context: Bad dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles affect Agni. Weakness of  Agnileads to formation of Ama.Ama is indigested Aadya Rasa Dhatu. This Ama produces various Amaprodoshaja Vikara. Among these, Amavata is most challenging  for physician. In Amavata Ama gets lodged in Kapha Sthanas with the help of vitiated  Vyana Vayu. Thus Prakupita Ama and Vata both lodged in Kostha,Ttrika and Sandhi  produces Shotha ,Shoola and Stabdhata. Due to their similar mode of presentation, a  disease, rheumatoid arthritis can be broadly grouped under the heading Amavata.

The subjects  for the study were patients who were between the age group of 16 and 60 years.  Results: Wilcoxon sign rank test was used to access the effect of therapy on subjective  criteria of thesis. Statistically highly significant relief was achieved in all the cardinal  & some associated features. Functional parameters were observed to be highly  significant, highly significant changes were found on ESR and CRP but changes in RA  factor were found insignificant. 40.0 % of the patients showed mild improvement and  unimproved in rest as an overall effect.
