Introduction to Disease: Rheumatoid Arthritis is a condition characterized by deep indigestion, joint pain, swelling, muscle spasms, and back stiffness. The symptoms of this modern rheumatism can be debilitating and require proper treatment.

Treatment Vision: The first step in treating Rheumatoid Arthritis is identifying and stopping the underlying cause of the disease. Ayurvedic Acharyas have recommended specific foods that should be followed diligently to manage this condition.

What causes diarrhea? Diarrhea can be caused by a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical exertion, and eating when experiencing indigestion. Engaging in activities like running, working, or having sex immediately after consuming energy-rich foods can also lead to diarrhea.

How and why does diarrhea occur? When a lazy person consumes heavy foods, it leads to indigestion and a weakened digestive system. Even occasional consumption of fortified foods and short periods of sweating can cause trouble for such individuals. Undigested food remains in the intestines, and sweating draws these undigested chemicals into the blood. This can result in joint and muscle swelling as the body reacts to these dietary chemicals entering the bloodstream without proper breakdown. Diarrhea is the body’s automatic immune response to eliminate harmful substances.

Amawathara Diet: For Rheumatoid Arthritis, it is recommended to crush raw ginger and extract its juice. Add jaggery gradually and consume this mixture on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.

Malnutrition: Consuming indigestible foods like curd, meat, refined flour, wheat, excessive food, and daytime sleep can worsen the condition. It is crucial to avoid these foods and unhealthy habits.

Amawathara Vihara: Adopting a lifestyle of moderation, avoiding mischief, staying mentally engaged, drinking hot water, and using warm water for bathing and facial cleansing can be beneficial. Warm water can also be used for enemas.

Diarrhea treatment: Consuming decoctions of amritbali, ginger, bhadramusta, and arends can help manage diarrhea. Panchakarma treatments like Sadyo Virechana and Yogabasti may also be recommended.

By understanding and implementing the wisdom of Ayurveda, it is possible to manage Rheumatoid Arthritis through proper diet and lifestyle choices. The timeless truths shared by the Acharyas can help in the journey towards healing and well-being.
