Abstract
Due to the busy schedule and cut throat competition of life in the society no one can focus to maintain their health to healthy form. The things that create trouble in most of the people are having faulty dietary habit & not following daily and seasonal regimen (Dina charya & Rutucharya) as stipulated in Ayurveda. So different diseases related to daily life are rampantly appeared, out of them Amavata is one of the most common disease. It is made up of two words i.e. Ama and Vata. Various factors are responsible for mandagni like virudha ahara, virudha chesta (Sharirika as well as Manasika). Due to Mandagni Anna rasa does not undergo proper digestion as it results in Apakwa anna rasa which accumulates in Amashaya is known as Ama.[1] This Ama circulates all over the body, if kha vaigunya occurs it obstructs the srotas and vitiates Vata dosha. This vitiated Vata dosha with Ama enter dhamanis and circulate all over the body. The vitiated Vata & Ama enter into the trika sandhi leads to stiffness of body, which is called as Amavata. The clinical sign & symptom of Amavata mentioned in different Ayurvedic classics is partially equivalent to the clinical sign & symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis. It possesses a challenge to the physicians owing to its apparent chronicity, incurability, complications and morbidity. Females are three times more affected than male. Treatment for Amavata are Langhana, Swedana, Tikta Deepana, Katu Dravya sevan,Virechana, Snehapana & Vasti.
