Ayurvedic treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Ayurveda is an traditional Indian practice involving a natural, holistic method for treating medical conditions. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) treatment is done by Ayurveda. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease which causes chronic inflammation of the joints. It causes inflammation of the tissue around the joints, as well as in other organs also. Autoimmune diseases cause illnesses that occur when the body's tissues are mistakenly attacked by their own immune system. Patients suffering from autoimmune diseases have antibodies in their blood that target their own body tissues, where they can be associated with inflammation. Because it can affect multiple other organs of the body, it is referred to as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease.

Ayurvedic treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis depend on which diagnostic guidelines the practitioner uses. Like those who practice from the guidelines "Madhava Nidana" believe that imbalances in the gut and inflammatory compounds cause RA and on the other hand, practitioners believe that RA is the result of poor dietary and reflects lifestyle habits which causes inflammation in the body.
