Rheumatoid arthritis - modern and Ayurvedic view of treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic joint inflammation. Its main symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness and reduced mobility of the affected joints. This condition can affect not only the joints, but also other parts of the body, such as muscles, tendons and internal organs. 

Causes
From the point of view of modern medicine, rheumatoid arthritis is attributed to a combination of genetic factors, the environment and the immune system, which turns against the body's own cells. 

According to Ayurveda, rheumatoid arthritis is associated with an imbalance in the doshas (bioenergetic forces) in the body, especially in the Vata and Pitta doshas. These two doshas are considered to be the main factors that influence the occurrence of this disease.

1. Vata dosha: imbalance of Vata dosha can lead to accumulation of cold and dryness in joints and tissues, causing brittleness, dryness and cracking of joints. This condition can cause increased pain and discomfort in the affected areas.

2. Pitta dosha: if Pitta dosha is overactive in the body, it can lead to inflammatory reactions and excessive accumulation of heat in the tissues. This inflammation can damage the joints and cause pain, swelling and other symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Other factors that may contribute to rheumatoid arthritis, according to Ayurveda, include excessive consumption of unhealthy foods, unhealthy lifestyle and emotional stress. Inadequate diet, lack of exercise, and lack of rest can also contribute to an imbalance of doshas in the body and an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
