Ayurveda & Rheumatoid Arthritis
The disease Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic disease that primarily causes joint inflammation, pain, loss of function and eventual joint destruction and deformity. Rheumatoid Arthritis disease is of variable severity ranging from mild inflammation in a few joints to symmetric involvement in multiple joints, mainly in the hands and feet.
A brief description in the ancient scriptures, Rigveda, which roughly dates back to 1500 B.C. In the 9th century A.D., Indian Ayurvedic physician, Madhava wrote a full description of Aamavata, but it was not until 1800 that the disease, described by French physician Augustin Jacob Landré-Beauvais, was recognized in the western world. In 1859, British rheumatologist Alfred Baring Garrod, named the disease Rheumatoid Arthritis.
