What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

In the realm of Ayurveda, Rheumatoid arthritis is termed "Amavata Roga." The imbalance of Vata Dosha, and Kapha Dosha is considered a prime factor responsible for causing RA. The rog falls under the umbrella of auto-immune diseases, where our body's healthy cells are being attacked by the Immune system assuming them foreign invaders. The small joints are affected primarily, and adversely by Amavata, as it tends to make them red, inflamed, and painful. Rheumatoid arthritis Ayurvedic treatment is a novel approach through which relief can be confirmed against this joint concern.

There is a wide range of signs which may manifest this roga. Hours-lasting joint stiffness, pain, redness, tenderness, and immobility are some general complications that patients with RA experience. With the progressive course of time, Rheumatoid arthritis causes the destruction of the cartilage, bones, and ligaments through which several problems such as deformity, or nodules formulation can easily arise.

Basically, this Vikaar (disorder) can be of three types, namely: Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis, Seropositive RA and Seronegative RA

Being a fatal inflammatory disorder, it is a must to opt for an effective and reliable treatment plan for Amavata. Ayurveda is a 5000+ years old healing therapy, that works wonders while dealing with Amavata.

Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis

RA has a complex etiology, thus there is no single specific cause responsible for its occurrence. However, some of the RA causative factors are as follows:

1. Genetics

The condition of rheumatoid arthritis may run from one generation to another, thus if anyone in your family has a medical history with any auto-immune disorder, especially Amavata, then there are high chances of your experiencing RA. Certain genes that are associated with the development of RA are HLA-DRB1, PTPN22, STAT4, and TRAF1-C5. However, such a heredity proposition is not necessary. Individuals with the absence of such genes may also be affected by RA.

2. Excessive smoking

Smoking acts as one of the prime factors for the development as well as progression of several chronic inflammatory disorders including RA. The presence of silica minerals and other harmful substances makes the body prone to get affected by rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to being a rich powerhouse of fatal substances, smoking also supports the malfunctioning of our immune system, where antibodies start harming healthy tissues instead of foreign invaders. 

3. Sedentary Lifestyle

A sedentary lifestyle where there is a lack of physical movement, or you often stay lethargic, and immobile contributes to the development of Amavata (RA) significantly. Such practices are directly linked to immune system dysfunction. Apart from making the joints inflexible, inflamed, and painful, several other complications such as reduced bone density, restricted range of motion, and poor blood circulation (rakta pravaha) can also be accompanied by a passive lifestyle. 

4. Unhealthy Diet

Your diet and health share a common linkage, the food you intake will form a direct reflection on your body. Consumption of junk, oily, processed, frozen, stale, over-cooked, or undercooked food items delivers adverse effects on the body. Excessive spice-containing, dairy products, non-vegetarian food items, and edibles rich in saturated fat, trans fat, and refined sugar can also trigger RA. In Ayurveda, such foods come under the category of “Tamsik Ahaara.” The patients with Amavata Roga are advised for a complete avoidance to reduce the severity, and raging of this auto-immune disease. 

5. Obesity

Being overweight enhances the risk of manifesting rheumatoid arthritis. Your joints, especially knees and hips have to tolerate extra pressure induced by extra weights. Due to such mechanical joint stress, the joints become inflamed, red, and weak. Obesity can be associated with insulin resistance, where the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, eventually worsening the condition of RA. 

6. Compromised Immune System

The main triggering factor of the disease is the inability of the immune system to attack or generate an effective response against foreign invaders. Under such dysregulation circumstances, immunity cells mistakenly start attacking healthy tissues, especially the synovium (lining of the membranes that surround the joints.

Signs and Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis Shows various Symptoms described as followed below:

  • Painful joints: Along with the pain, people may observe severe swelling in one or more joints. Such swelling is induced by the malfunctioning of the body's immune system against healthy cells. 
  • Redness and warmness: The joints are mostly seen warmer due to inflammation. Sometimes they even start to change to light red colored. 
  • Stiffness: Joint stiffness is yet a prime sign of rheumatoid arthritis. The joints and muscles often become tight, cramped, or painful resulting in restricted movement and hampering overall functioning.
  • Fever: In some cases, low-grade fever accompanied by body aches can also arise due to rheumatoid arthritis. 
  • Deformity: In severe cases, the joints may also start to deform. Primarily such deformation occurs in small joints such as fingers, toes, and wrists, but it can affect other body parts equivalently.
