We at Sreeragam Ayurveda Health retreat provide the best Rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Kochi, Kerala.
We have treated more than 150 patients of Rheumatoid arthritis in the past 7 years with 30-50% positive
changes in 120 patients within 21-28 days
of treatment. Rheumatoid arthritis patients were asked to follow oral medication and strict lifestyle
after their discharge from our Ayurveda centre which helps them lead a normal life without pain. Patients
can expect reduction
in pain and swelling within 14-21 days of treatment, further progress can be seen due to the stabilization
of the immune system of the body as a result of the continuous treatment. It is very important for the
body’s
immune system to function optimally in case of a Rheumatoid arthritis patient, why?
Rheumatoid
arthritis is an autoimmune disease and in such conditions patient’s immune system attacks
the body's own healthy tissues leading to inflammation in the affected area. In Rheumatoid arthritis,
the immune system attacks the lining of the joints, impairing its functionality and putting the pressure
on the ligament
and muscles surrounding the joint. This extra function leads to the wear and tear of the ligaments which
is why most of the patient see a loss of muscle mass while suffering with Rheumatoid arthritis
Why
can we see deformed
joints in the case of Rheumatoid arthritis patients?
Our immune system is responsible for the
recovery of any damage of the tissue or creating new tissues or cells. Once the immune system starts
malfunctioning, the regeneration
process or the recovery process will not function as normal. Hence, in case of Rheumatoid arthritis where
there is wear & tear of muscle, ligaments and the immune system is damaging the lining of the joints,
there is no
support available for the degrading joint structure or any recovery process. Due to the pressure of
performing the joint function, the joint structure starts adjusting itself hence finally getting jammed at
a certain point
which is different than its normal position. This shift of position of the structure of the joint is seen
as a deformity from outside.
In Ayurveda, Rheumatoid arthritis can be correlated to Amavata, which is the vitiation of Vata Dosha and accumulation of Ama, taking place in the lining of joints. Ama is a known as the undigested product, which is not homogeneous for the body and whenever Ama gets accumulated in the body tissue or joints, it can lead to production of pain, stiffness, swelling, tenderness, etc. This accumulation will affect the tissue metabolism and hence affect the functioning of the joint, when this phenomenon affects the joints, it is known as “Amavata”.
The cause of Rheumatoid arthritis is not known exactly but there are a few factors that might increase the chances of Rheumatoid arthritis in your body:
Ayurveda believes that stress, irregular sleep pattern, cold storage food items, past history of diseases like dengue etc can be also one of the factors leading to rheumatoid arthritis.
Ayurveda classifies rheumatoid arthritis in the category of Amavata and any disease which can be related to amavata can be a complication associated with rheumatoid arthritis. A patient suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis also has increased risk of developing:
Initial goal of treatment is to alleviate the joint pain and swelling which will help improve the
patient’s ability to perform day to day activities. Slowly patients can go to their normal life
while continuing the Ayurveda medicine for Rheumatoid
arthritis which will lead the patient to complete cure. The duration of the Rheumatoid arthritis treatment
is explained during the physical condition, it is dependent on the patient's body type and condition
but it may
range from 6 month to 2 years.
We consider patient education about very important during our initial
consultation as it will help the patients in keeping a positive attitude towards the Rheumatoid
arthritis treatment and support our doctors since the start. This activity increases the chances of
treatment by 40% by avoiding medical adherence and mixing other treatments which can harm the
progress.
The ayurvedic
drugs given to a patient of Rheumatoid Arthritis will help in improving the condition of the patient as
they are Vata-Kapha Dosha Hara and Amapachaka. The drugs used in management of Amavata should:
Oral medication along with lifestyle changes are suggested to the patients and they need to update the changes in their condition through consultation in every 15-30 days.
(Parallelly) 3-7 days- Slow and gentle exercises such as stretching, walking will be
monitored to boost muscle strength.
Hence making the timeline of the rheumatoid arthritis treatment
to be around 21-35
days in general whereas any of the above timeline can be extended as per the requirement. Meditation is
practised on a daily basis to reduce mental stress and the depression patients might be facing due to the
inability caused
by the condition.
Modern medicine doctors suggest medicine like Anti-inflammatory drugs, Steroids, etc for the Rheumatoid
arthritis treatment which suppresses the immune system of the body. Suppressing the immune system leaves
the damaged joints as it is, this joint will
now incur more wear and tear when in use. By suppressing immune system, we are prone to permanent damage
of joints which will be accompanied by other side effects of the drugs which in case of steroids is very
high
External therapies and oral ayurvedic medicine are given for Rheumatoid arthritis treatment to
reduce inflammation, increase detoxification rate and balance the immune system. This whole process
altogether comprises the
best Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment which has the potential to provide complete cure with faster recovery
process.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints, often leading to reduced mobility and quality of life. While modern medicine offers treatments to manage symptoms, Ayurveda provides a holistic approach to addressing the root cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis and alleviating chronic pain naturally.
Lifestyle plays an important role in correcting the metabolism resulting in the restoration of body’s immune system. Medicine alone cannot alone help chronic patients with rheumatoid arthritis pain relief but also need the patients to adapt to a lifestyle suitable to correct the metabolism for reducing pain from rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is the wear and tear of the joints, which causes the joint bones to rub together, leading to pain, swelling, and loss of motion in the joint. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis among older people and is very common among the age group of 40-70 years. With the time the wear and tear increase in the bones or due to overweight leading to high chances of Osteoarthritis.
