Rheumatoid arthritis or Amavata

In Ayurveda rheumatoid arthritis is known as amavata and was described in great detail by Madhava (Ayurvedic classical text) ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š
Amavata is named after the two involving pathological factors โ€“ Ama and Vata and is the condition where stiffness of the body occurs due to lodgement of Ama and Vata in the joints.

When Ama combines with the Vayu it then gives rise to: ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ
๐Ÿ˜Œvibandha/ constipation
๐Ÿ˜žmandagni/ impaired digestion
๐Ÿ˜Œstambha/ stiffness
๐Ÿ˜Œantra kujana/ gurgling sound
๐Ÿ˜Œvedana/ pain
๐Ÿ˜Œshopha/ oedema and a pin prick sensation which gradually affects the body parts one after the other.

Yesterday talked about a treatment called Podikizhi performed in the Ayurvedic treatment protocol. Other recommended treatments for rheumatoid arthritis are virechana (purgation), a suitable diet and herbal medicines to reduce AMA are essential. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ

We have currently a few patients undergoing Panchakarma - Virechana Purgation treatment. One of our lovely clients is from Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช. We are also having more male clients for ย Panchakarma which is wonderful to see.ย 

We look forward to welcoming you to the Lakshmi clinic.
