ABSTRACT

Amavata is the most common endogenous disease which is produced due to frequently formation of Ama in the human body. With the march of time most habits of the human being i-e. dietary habits, social structure, life style as well as environment have been changed. Occurrence of Amavata on large scale is one of the outcomes of this so called advancement. It is the commonest among chronic inflammatory joint disease in which joints becomes swollen, painful and stiff. Due to its chronicity and complications it has taken the foremost place among the joint disease. It continues to pose challenge to the physician due to severe morbidity and crippling nature. There is no doubt modern system of medicine play an important role in overcoming agony of pain, restricted movement and disability caused by the disease. Simultaneously prolonged use of allopathic medicines are not only giving rise to many side effects, toxic symptoms and adverse reactions even including many organic impairments. Patients are continuously looking with a hope towards Ayurveda to overcome this challenge due to merely insufficient management of this disease in other system of medicine. So it is need of time to work more and more on principles of treatment, which are effective in Amavata. Here I have tried to elaborate principles of treatment related to Amavata, enumerated by ancient Ayurvedic seers.
