How do natural treatments help prevent and control Rheumatoid Arthritis for years and improve the quality of life for the long term?

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints, including those in the hands and feet. Rheumatoid Arthritis causes due to the autoimmune process in the body. If you ignore and do not take care of it as soon as the symptoms start, it can lead to a deformity in joints and get bedridden within few years.

How does Rheumatoid Arthritis start?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-lasting autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. It typically results in warm, swollen, and painful joints. Pain and stiffness often worsen following rest. The wrist and hands are most commonly involved, with the same joints typically involved on both sides of the body. The disease may also affect other parts of the body.

According to Ayurveda, improper lifestyle and food habits hamper digestion, create excessive Aam (toxic mucous), and vitiate the body’s Vata (air). As the Aam is built up in the stomach, it begins circulating throughout the body with aggravated Vata dosha. Aam has the property of being sticky and heavy because of which it gets trapped in the narrow channels, in and around the bone. When this Aam with the Vitiated Vata settles around the joints, it causes swelling, stiffness, and severe pricking chronic pain in the joints. You experience difficulty in walking, deformed fingers, unable to bend your back. 

Due to the autoimmune process, you get inflammation and infections, frequent fever, and finally, bones and joints’ degeneration.
