Summary of article contents:
Amavata is a very painful condition in daytoday life. It is a chronic disorder related to especially sandhisthanas (joints). It can be compared with Rheumatoid Arthritis (R.A.). In modern medicine, R.A. is treated with steroids and various NSAIDS which has multiple side – effects. In Ayurveda, Amavata is caused due to impairment of Agni (indigestion) and vitiation of Vata dosha which form ‘ Aama - The untransformed, nonassimilated component in the digestive process.' Amavata is a madhyama rogamarga disease and causes severe pain, stiffness and is difficult to treat. Hence, there are chances of recurrence. For this, in Ayurveda, both Shamana and Shodhana treatments are explained very well. In this case study, the patient was dependent on steroids and her physiological functioning body was hampered. By Ayurvedic intervention ( Shodhana and ShamanaChikitsa) we have effectively manage the disease by gradually tapering the steroids and ultimately stopped. The sequential treatment plan is effectively used in this case. Keywords: Amavata, Aama, Shamana, Shodhana
