Arthritis, Rheumatism
Ama Vatha
Rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory issue that affects the joints of hands and feet, particularly the synovial joints, causes acute pain and swelling, ultimately resulting in joint deformities and bone erosion. It is an autoimmune disorder which is triggered when the immune system of our body mistakenly starts attacking our tissues. Apart from the joints of hands and feet, rheumatoid arthritis can also affect the organs including skin, eyes, lungs, and blood vessels. Although arthritis is commonly found among those beyond the age of forty, it needn’t be the same in every case.
According to Ayurveda, Vata dominance or aggression is the main cause of arthritis. Upon aggravation, Vata combines with Ama, otherwise known as toxin, and gets accumulated in various joints of our body, thus causing ‘Amavata’. Improper digestion is one of the main causes of accumulation of Ama, or undigested toxic material.
Remedies for arthritis:
1. Ayurvedic method - As Ama and Vata are the main causative factors, a long term remedy for arthritis should include some in-depth treatment methods to digest Ama and reduce Vata. The digestion should slowly improve from time to time, thus reducing the production of Ama, so that no further Ama is created in the long run. This is a slow, steady, and gradual method, and involves a series of authentic ayurvedic treatments.
2. Fasting is highly essential to boost the digestion of Ama. Fasting can either be complete or be partial.
3. Light exercises should complement the daily ayurvedic treatments. The amount and intensity of exercises can vary from person to person, depending on their limits.
4. Liberal intake of fruit juices that are rich in Vitamin C will help enhance the effectiveness of the ayurvedic anti-arthritis therapiess. Vitamin C is highly essential to reduce skeletal pain.
Paralysis, Stroke and Other Neuromuscular conditions
Paralysis is loss of muscle function for one or multiple muscles. It can also be associated with sensory and motor loss. The rate of paralysis is very high. One in 50 is affected and it can either be temporary or permanent. The most common kind of paralysis is the partial paralysis or hemiplegia wherein the muscle function of all the muscles of one side of the body is affected. This could also be due to a stroke. In this condition the patient feels difficulty in using the limbs of the affected side even for minor functions. Speech is also affected in certain conditions Hemiparesis is weakness of the entire left or right side of the body.
Cause : The most common cause for this condition is cerebral hemorrhage. Usually cerebral hemorrhage is caused either by an injury or increase in blood pressure leading to a stroke. According to Ayurveda indulgence is excess of Vata increasing activities like sleeplessness, over exertion and food which are dry and under nourishing are the main reasons. Due to this Vata aggrevates and affects the nerves on one side of the body.
