A Clinical Case Study of Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) With Special Reference to the Role of Agnimandya and Upashayatmaka Parikshana by Rasonadi Kashaya and Kulattha Yusha

Amavata is a major inflammatory disease mostly brought on by Agnimandya, which leads to the accumulation of Ama. Along with Ama, the weakened Vata Dosha sits in the joints and moves around the body, causing symptoms including joint pain, edema, stiffness, and general body discomfort. These symptoms are similar to those of Rheumatoid Arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disease that targets synovial joints. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of Agnimandya in the etiopathogenesis of Amavata and to compare the therapeutic efficacy of Rasonadi Kashaya and Kulattha Yusha. Thirty patients were arbitrarily divided into two groups of 15 each. Group A received Rasonadi Kashaya, while group B received Kulattha Yusha. The evaluation was made using the traditional indicators as well as an analysis of Agni and Ama. The Group A showed more improvement in joint symptoms, whereas Group B showed better outcomes in boosting digestion and decreasing edema highlights the importance of Deepana-Pachana therapy.
