Arthritis & Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, joint pain occurs due to the imbalance in the functional energy or Dosha in the body, known as Vata. This energy is responsible for movement and spaces, which corresponds to the space between the joints. An imbalance in a form of Vata known as Vyanavata can cause circulation problems. As a result, the tissues fail to get nourishment. This leads to wear and tear in the joints causing severe pain. One more form of energy is the Shleshaka Kapha. This helps keep the joints lubricated allowing for smooth movement.
Ayurveda texts like charak samhita, sushruta samhita, Ashtang hridya and Asthtang samgrah had widely mentioned about Ama and Amavrita Vata.
1. Amena sahita vata Amavata’. The virulent Ama circulates in the whole body propelled by the vitiated vata dashas producing block in the body channels that stations itself in the sandhi giving rise to Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis).
2. The combinations of ‘Ama’ and vata form Amavata. It shows the predominance of Ama & vata in the samprapti of Amavata.
3. Ajeerna produce ‘Ama’ & along with vata it produce Amavata.
Ama is produced by agnimandya of both Jatharagni and Dhatwagnis. Even though ama is a cause for various diseases, in Amavata it is the main causative factor. Ama and vata vitiated simultaneously and disease is manifested mainly in joints of hasta, pada, sira, trika, gulpha, janu and uru.
1. The first Rasa dhatu, which has been inadequately digested due to the weakness of digestive fire and accumulating in the stomach in the abnormal state, is known as Ama.
2. The undigested Adya Ahara dhatu is Ama.
3. The food material which will not undergone vipaka, leads to Durgandha, which is large in quantity, which is picchila & which leads to Gatra Sadana is called Ama.

Arthovilla oil
Regular Ayurvedic oil massages can help eliminate toxins and get rid of impurities in the body. Improves the blood circulation, especially in the targeted areas where there might be stiffness, inflammation or pain - sciatica pain. Based on Ayurvedic medicine theory, the oil prevents uric acid to be formed in the body, thus reducing the chances of developing any serious joint problems.
Arthovilla tablet & syrup
The quintessential herbs used in arthovilla tablet and syrup are effective in reducing joint swelling, pain, stiffness and other symptoms of inflammatory joint disorders including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The degradation of glycosaminoglycans, which leads to articular damage and cartilage breakdown, is a common condition in patients on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They significantly reduce the degradation of glycosaminoglycans and protects the joints. They are anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant that inhibits the formation of nitric oxide, which can cause further oxidative damage to degenerate joints and bones.
Imbalance in the Doshas causes the weakening of the digestive fire. This causes the accumulation of toxins. The toxins are carried to the joints by Vata and they cause pain. The Shleshaka Kapha gets dried up due to the presence of toxins. This affects the lubrication in the joints causing pain. Ayurveda believes that to help manage joint pain, helping to maintain the Dosha is necessary. This can be done through the help of therapies, helping to make dietary and lifestyle changes, and using Ayurvedic herbal supplements.
Exercise is necessary at all time, and specially for arthritis patients to maintain healthy joints, relieve stiffness, reduce pain and fatigue, and improve muscle and bone strength. A therapist might help you tailor your exercise program to deal with your individual condition. A typical routine includes:
● Low-impact aerobic activity
● Exercise to increase core strength
● Yoga, tai chi, geritonics, or pilates
● Range of motion exercises for flexibility
● Strength training for muscle tone
Rest is just as important as exercise. Sleeping 8 to 10 hours per night and taking naps during the day can help you recover from a flare-up more quickly and may even help prevent exacerbations. You should also:
● Reduce stress
● Avoid positions or movements putting extra stress on your affected joints
● Adjust home activities to make them easier
● Try meditation
Home Remedies and Lifestyle Regular exercise is strongly recommended for arthritis patients.7 Exercise can reduce pain and improve physical function, muscle strength, and quality of life for people with arthritis. While it can be difficult to be motivated to exercise when you are having symptoms such as pain or fatigue, choosing the right exercise to enjoy can make a big difference in your quality of life.
Eating a nutritious diet is important for maintaining ideal weight and for bone health, too. There is no known diet that can cure arthritis, so you can start by following the basics of healthy eating; you may also benefit from incorporating anti-inflammatory foods. To name some - ginger, turmeric, cherry [Anthocyanosides lower uric acid levels], Pineapple [bromelain is anti-inflammatory], Omega-3 foods, raw apple cider vinegar.
Reducing stress may also help calm the pain and stiffness associated with arthritis. Being under stress can heighten your pain perception. A study also found that psychological stressff was associated with flares and relapse in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Home remedies to manage pain and stiffness can help you keep it from interfering with daily living. You can try tactics such as cryotherapy (cold packs), heat therapy or warm water therapy (especially for stiffness), or self-massage.
Assistive devices can help protect your joints and make it easier for you to go about your day. Look into canes, walkers, raised toilet seats, grabbers, and other helpful devices.
We have the privilege of saying that any patient who uses arthovilla has found ease and recovery to a great extent through disciplined regimen and conscious eating.
