Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), known as Amavata in Ayurveda, is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and inflammation.
Unlike osteoarthritis, RA usually affects both sides of the body and may include symptoms like fatigue, fever, or weight changes.

Ayurveda treats RA holistically by removing toxins (Ama), balancing the body’s energy (Vata), and strengthening digestion (Agni) through herbs, Panchakarma, diet, and lifestyle changes.

Ayurvedic View on the Cause of RA

According to Ayurveda, weak digestion leads to toxin buildup (Ama) in the body.
When Ama mixes with an imbalanced Vata, it settles in the joints — causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Common triggers include:

  • Poor digestion or eating processed/incompatible food

  • Lack of physical activity

  • Cold and damp exposure

  • Stress, overwork, or emotional strain

Common Symptoms:

  • Persistent joint pain (fingers, wrists, knees, ankles)

  • Morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes

  • Swelling and tenderness in joints

  • Fatigue and low energy

  • Low-grade fever or loss of appetite

If left untreated, RA can lead to joint deformity and reduced mobility.

Ayurvedic Diagnosis (Rog Nidan)

Ayurvedic diagnosis focuses on understanding the root cause by evaluating:

  • Dosha constitution (Prakriti)

  • Digestive health (Agni)

  • Presence of toxins (Ama)

  • Pulse examination (Nadi Pariksha)

This helps create a personalized treatment plan that removes the cause, relieves symptoms, and prevents relapse.

  • Basti (Medicated Enema): Pacifies aggravated Vata, strengthens the colon, and eases joint pain.

  • Lepa / Upanaha (Herbal Poultices): Applied to swollen joints for local pain relief.

All therapies are prescribed and monitored individually for safe, effective detoxification.
