Dr. Sahil Basotra, Dr. Rimpy Sharma

Abstract


Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis) is a most common inflammatory joint disorder throughout the world. The modern
treatments available for Rheumatoid Arthritis are not very satisfactory and have many adverse effects. Present day
modern medical doctors prescribe different types of anti-inflammatory medicines and steroids for its management. So now it became a necessity
to find out a safe, economic and effective treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis. So here an attempt has been made clinically to evaluate the role of
Baluka Sweda and Vaishvanar Churna in the management of Amavata. A clinically diagnosed 45 years female patient of Rheumatoid Arthritis
was selected from O.P.D. of Desh Bhagat Ayurvedic Hospital, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab. Baluka Sweda was done twice daily on affected knee
and elbow joint along with oral intake of Vaishvanar Churna 3g twice daily with Luke warm water for 60 days. Total duration of the treatment was
60 days and follow up was done on every 15th day. Result of Baluka Sweda along with oral intake of Vaishvanar Churna was found significant in
the patient. Ruksha Sweda removes Ama from the local site. It was found that after treatment patient had no severe symptoms. Improvement was
statistically significant in symptoms like Jwara, koshth baddhata, Gaurava, Agnimandya, jadya Karmatva (stiffness), joint pain, shoth (swelling
in joint) etc. The overall effect of Baluka Sweda along with oral intake of Vaishvanar Churna was found to be better in management of
Rheumatoid Arthritis.
