Abstract

Amavata is a sickness that develops when the Vata Dosha connected with Ama becomes aggravated. Aggravated Vata circulates Ama throughout the body via Dhamanies, seeks refuge in the Shleshma Sthana (Amashya, Sandhi, and so on), and manifests as Angmarda, Aalasya, Gaurav, Jwara, and other symptoms in tiny and large joints, deforming the person. In modern parlance, it simulates rheumatoid arthritis. Chakradatta explains Langhan as the first component of Amavata's Chikitsa Sutra. Pain and swelling in various joints, as well as morning stiffness lasting more than 60 minutes, were reported by a 50-year-old female patient. Simhanada Guggulu and Rasnasaptak Kashayam, as well as Masooradi Yoosha as Pathya, were prescribed as part of a 30-day integrative intervention. The Rheumatoid Factor qualitative and CRP qualitative was positive before treatment and found negative after treatment. Anti- CCP was >100 U/ml before treatment and it lower down to 73 U/ml after treatment. Simhnada Guggulu with Anupana of Rasnasaptak Kashayam followed by Masooradi Yoosha as Pathya showed remarkable relief in symptoms and serological markers such as RA factor qualitative, CRP qualitative, Anti-CCP and ESR. Diet is an effective modality in the management of Amavata.
