Abstract

Amavata is the second most common joint disorders. Now a day‟s faulty dietary habits, unhealthy lifestyle and environment have led to different autoimmune disorders i.e. Amavishajanya Vikara and Amavata is one among them. Rheumatoid Arthritis can be correlated with Amavata in aspect of its clinical features like Sanhishoola (pain in joints) Sandhijadyta (stiffness in joints), Sandhishotha (swelling in joints) etc. To solve this unpredictable clinical condition, many research works have been conducted, but for the treatment of Amavata, safe, effective and treatments with mild complication is still needed. In this study, 40 patients diagnosed with Amavata were registered and randomly grouped into two. In Group A, Alambushadi Ghana Vati 500mg/ twice a day and in Group B, Alambushadi Ghana Vati (500mg/ twice a day) and Vaitarana Basti (15 Basti) were given. On analysis the results obtained, it was found that patients of Group B showed much improvement as compared to patients of Group A in the management of Amavata.
