Amavata- means accumulation of Ama (apakwa rasa) in joints leads to the disease called as Amavata.
This is very painful condition of arthritis.
Ama- Viated dosha causes agnimandya (sluggish diagestion).Due to agnimandya the diagestive juice which was formed was Apakwa (unproperly diagested/immature). This apakwa rasa goes through the circulation in all over tissue and body organs. As it is immature tissue can take it but can not metabolise it .Therefore it remains as it is in cell.This Ama was sticky in nature.It blocked the all small channels in the body due to this body cells and tissues do not get proper nutrition. And this leads to the multiple damage of organs and tissues.
Causes-
Viruddha ahar sevan
Ati guru ahar sevan-Heavy food
Atibhojan/Ajirnashana- Intake of food in very much quantity or intake of food befor its diagestion
Mandagni-sluggish diagestion
Avyayama-Lack of exersice
Nischala-sedentory life style
Snigdha,madhur bhojanam-intake of oily food and sweet things
Diwaswap-Day sleeping
Intake of fermented food
Pathogenesis-
Due to all mentioned causes ama is formed in body.The viated Vata pushes this ama to all over the body through blood circulation.This viated vata pushes this ama mainly in to the shleshma sthana(kapha Pradesh) i.e in joints and muscles.This viated vata and kapha was combined with morbid pitta which cause the further corrosing of ama .This corrosive ama destroys any tissue and organs with which it comes in to contact.

Management Of RA With Ayurveda
Modern science has no known cure for rheumatoid arthritis. The role of treatment in RA is to reduce joint inflammation and pain, maximize joint function and prevent joint destruction and deformity.
Physical therapy has no curative effect for arthritis nor does it alter the course of the disease process. The objectives of physical therapy are analgesia, maintenance of normal ranges of motion in involved joints, maintenance of normal power in muscles involved, protection of joints against additional trauma that might result in further structural deterioration / deformity.
