In Ayurveda, RA is correlated to Ama vata based on the symptoms produced in RA. Panchakarma is an effective therapy in managing musculo skeletal disorders. Due to alpaagni, apaaka of rasa dhatu occurs and got accumulated in amasaya produces aama leads to Amavata. Panchakarma is the best treatment to bring back Agni to normalcy by digesting Ama, and eliminate out vitiated doshas. Among Panchakarma procedures swedana, virechana, snehapana and kshara basti are told as treatment modes. Also, physiotherapy and rehabilitation application significantly augments the medical therapy by improving the RA management there by reducing the difficulties faced by RA patients for doing their routine activities.
