A Clinical Study To Evaluate The Effect of Amritadi Churna On Amavata w.s.r. To Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis is an enigmatic disease. Its historical background is not known. But in the recent  years the disease has been extensively probed by development in immunology, biochemistry and  radiology. Ayurvedic physicians have also benefited from these new medical advances. RA is often  considered a benign disease, but it may cause considerable disability, crippling, and death. Patients  sometimes recover spontaneously and achieve complete remission but, in most cases, the disease  becomes chronic, resulting in functional deterioration of the joints and disability. There has been  extensive scientific research in Ayurvedic therapies during recent years. The present study is intended  to focus on the clinical evaluation of an herbal preparation Amritadi churna quoted by Acharya  Chakrapani in Chakradatta in the management of Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis). The results were  quiet promising for futuristic studies with other herbal preparations.
