www.agasthya-ayurvedic.com Arthritis is primarily seen in two forms. When connected with risky toxins or Aama, there may be swelling, fever, heaviness and limited movements in joints. It is called Aamavata (Rheumatoid arthritis). The main line of treatment will be internal medicines to correct digestion and to lessen fever and swelling in joints. Warm fomentation with herbal powder (Kizhi) and medicated wraps are best at this stage.

2. What is rheumatoid arthritis (RA)?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic
inflammation of the joints. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when
the body's tissues are mistakenly attacked by their own immune system. The
immune system contains a complex organization of cells and antibodies
designed normally to "seek and destroy" invaders of the body, particularly
infections. Patients with autoimmune diseases have antibodies and immune
cells in their blood that target their own body tissues, where they can be
associated with inflammation. While inflammation of the tissue around the joints
and inflammatory arthritis are characteristic features of rheumatoid arthritis, the
disease can also cause inflammation and injury in other organs in the body.
Because it can affect multiple other organs of the body, rheumatoid arthritis is
referred to as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease.
Rheumatoid arthritis that begins in people under 16 years of age is referred to
as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (formerly juvenile rheumatoid arthritis).

3. Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms and Signs

by other diseases, the symptoms are very characteristic of rheumatoid disease.
