Rheumatoid Arthritis is the most common form of autoimmune arthritis nowadays. It was noticed that about 75% of RA patients are women. About, 1 – 4% of women may get rheumatoid arthritis in their lifetime. The disease most often begins between the ages of 30-50.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined as a chronic disease that causes joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased movement of the joints. Small joints in the feet and hands are most commonly affected. Sometimes in the severe stage, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) can affect your organs, such as eyes, skin, or lungs.
The stiffness of joints in active RA is often the worst in the morning that commonly lasts for one to two hours (or even the whole day). It generally improves with the movement of the joints. If the person having stiffness for a long time in the morning it is indicated that you may have RA, as this is not common in other conditions.
What are the Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
The specific causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis have yet to be identified. Thus it is an autoimmune disease but several conditions that cause rheumatoid arthritis are given below –

What is the Ayurvedic view of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
In Ayurveda, Rheumatoid Arthritis is termed as ‘’Amavata’’. Amavata is a disease in which vitiation of Vata Dosha and accumulation of Ama take place in joint(s), and it simulates rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in modern parlance. Ama is an undigested product, which is not homogeneous for the body. Whenever that Ama gets localized in the body tissue or joints, it can lead to the production of pain, stiffness, swelling, tenderness, etc in the related joints.
Common signs and Symptoms are Jwara (pyrexia), Alasya (lethargy), Apaka (indigestion), Aruchi (anorexia), Gaurava (heaviness in the body), Asyavairasya (altered taste perception), Daurbalya (weakness), Akarmanyata (inability to do work), Utsahahani (laziness), Angamarda (body ache), Daha (burning sensation), Trishna (increased thirst), etc.
What is the Ayurvedic Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
As per modern medicines, there are several anti-inflammatory, analgesics, steroidal, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs which are having certain side effects also.

Healthy diet and Lifestyle
Here we described some of the healthy diet and lifestyle which must be followed by the patients who suffered from RA, these precautions are very beneficial to ease the symptoms and further prevent the formation of Ama in the body.
- The pain, stiffness, and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis may make you less inclined to exercise, but being sedentary can make symptoms worse. Regular exercise can maintain or improve flexibility in joints and the surrounding muscles. Strength training, which builds muscle and tendon strength to stabilize and support joints, can also help. Do the exercise for about 30 minutes daily.
- Smoking is considered a risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis, and stop smoking may improve your symptoms.
- Try adding foods that contain omega-3s, such as salmon and olive oil. These foods have anti-inflammatory properties thus eating them can lower overall inflammation levels in your body.
- Stress can exacerbate RA symptoms, thus the patient should adopt meditation and deep breathing techniques to get rid of the stressful conditions.
- Yoga can help people with various types of arthritis reduce joint pain, improve joint flexibility and function, lower stress and tension for better sleep. Some of the best yoga is mentioned here which must be followed by the RA patients – Sarvangasana, Vrkasana, Mrtasana, etc.
- RA can sometimes lead to limited use of the hands due to stiffness, swelling, etc. The patient should bend the wrists up and down, slowly curling the fingers, spreading the fingers wide on a table, and squeezing a stress ball can all help to increase strength and flexibility in the hands.
- As RA increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, it is vital to keep the heart as healthy as possible. The patient should ride a bike as it can be a safe way to get the joints moving and improving cardiovascular fitness.
