UNDERSTANDING THE CORELATION OF AMA CONCEPT AND FREE RADICAL THEORY WITH A CLINICAL INTERPRETATION
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Than any other Medical science, Ayurveda is much more comprehensive in both its philosophical and scientific background. It’s a common belief that a principle which can be experimented or demonstrated in laboratory is science; otherwise it’s a philosophy. It may be; why the subject of fundamental principle was neglected many a times. In real sense Science means truth which can be demonstrated in laboratory or not; may be experimented in test tube or not. In the present article the theory of Ama has taken into consideration to justify the philosophical depth of Ayurveda with its contemporary scientific understanding. The cause for production of Ama, way of its formation, characteristics and nature of affecting Dosa-Dhatu-Malas almost matches with the contemporary concept of Free radical theory. Therefore a sincere effort has been made here to understand the co-relation between these two theories by clinical evaluation of 20 cases of Amavata (Rheumatoid arthritis). Both the concepts are tried to compare many ways which helps to understand the pathology of the disease in better way. The study points that in a similar fashion how Ama reflects the severity of disease in Ayurveda so is free radical as per contemporary science. It can also be concluded that the value of Lipid peroxide measured from serum, which is an indicator of Free radical can be a future parameter to measure the depth of pathology.
