EFFECT OF A POLYHERBAL COMPOUND IN THE MANAGEMENT OF AMAVATA (RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS)
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Amavata is a disease of multiple joint pain, stiffness and swelling chiefly. Symptomatically it keeps quite resemblance with rheumatoid arthritis which is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Being autoimmune and inflammatory in nature use of immunosuppressive agents, DMARDs, NSAIDs creates many adverse effects and limits the prognosis of this disease. Ayurveda explains gastro-intestinal affection of the disease. An improper functioning of gastro-intestinal system produces ama, the main pathogenic factor of the disease. Hence drugs correcting GIT system improve the disease condition. Present study was carried out on 15 patients using Ajmodadi churna, a polyherbal compound at Sir Sunderlal Hospital, Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. There was significant improvement in symptoms and it was evident clinically and statically too.
