  • Title: Rheumatoid Arthritis Reimagined: The Confluence of Ayurveda as a Scientific Medicine

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a complicated chronic condition that necessitates a comprehensive cognitive and intellectual analysis of its cause, ongoing complex micro and overt symptoms, and aggravating and contributory variables. Thorough evaluation and analysis of deep subjective and clinical data is also necessary. Understanding the basic concepts of Ayurveda is essential since its main philosophy is focused on a holistic approach for assessing the patient based on all planes of consciousness, including the surface entities of the disease. Second, it's important to understand how Ayurveda can help manage, prevent, and treat long term illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis.

Ayurvedic herbal treatments for rheumatoid arthritis have shown biodegrading effects on a severity score calculated by magnetic resonance imaging, as well as immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and joint mobility improving benefits. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis can improve their general health using a variety of holistic techniques thanks to Ayurveda. There is growing evidence to support the use of interdisciplinary therapy.
