ABSTRACT Autoimmune disorders are the conditions in which immune system mistakenly attacks on its own body. The prime example is R.A. i.e. Rheumatoid Arthritis. In this condition usually lining of the joints are involved causing bone erosion and joint deformity. With similarity in signs and symptoms this disease can be correlated with Amavata in Ayurved. In Aamvata Samprapti starts with Agnimandya due to Mithya Aahara Vihaar or unhealthy lifestyle. The Nidana Sevana leads to Agni mandya that produces Ama in Body. Vitiated Vata dosha carries such Ama to kapha/shleshma sthana. Such dislodged Ama produces acute signs and syptoms e.g. acute swelling, pain, stiffness in the joints. Contempory science offers significant relief in the condition but produce lots of side effects. In such Ayurveda therapy can give very significant relief. Here is a case of a female Patient aged 50 years, with severe Shoola and Stabdhata in Manibandh and Vama Gulfa Sandhi pradesh Since 5 yrs. She was dignosed as a case of Aamvata and was admitted in Panchakarma ward of Parul Ayurveda Hospital. Ayurvedic Procedures (Panchakarma) i.e. Valuka Sweda, Vaitaran Basti along with shaman Aushdhi were administered. With 15 days treatment patient showed significant improvement. In this study an attempt has been made to evaluate the effect of Vaitaran Basti in modified Schedule along with Valuka Sveda and Shamana Aushadhi.
