Summary of article contents:
Amavata is the most crippling joint disease. It occurs throughout the world in all climates and all ethical groups. In modern science, Amavata is compared with Rheumatoid Arthritis which is an autoimmune disorder. In the present era, Amavata is the most common disease affecting a large, aged population. Amavata word is composed of two words Ama and Vata , [5] the condition which is caused by the accumulation of Ama and Vata is called Amavata . In terms of medicine, Ama refers to the events that follow and the factors that arise as a consequence of impaired functioning of ‘ Agni ’ whereas in literal terms the word Ama means unripe, immature, and undigested. This ' Ama ’ is then carried by ‘ Vayu ’ and travels throughout the body and accumulates in the joints, at the weaker sites ( Khavaiguny a) and Amavata occurs. Because of its etiology, Shamana & Shodhana chikitsa [9] are advised in Ayurveda whereas Antiinflammatory, Analgesics, Steroids & DMARDs are required for its management in modern science, which have their own sideeffects. Amavata is the particular type of disease that is mentioned in Ayurveda since the period of Madhavakara, under the category of Vata-Kaphaja disorders & it is one of the most challenging diseases due to its chronicity, incurability, complications & morbidity.
