Abstract :
Amavata is a condition that arises from the disturbance or increase of Vata in conjunction with Ama. The Ama is transported by the heightened Vata and accumulates in Shelshmasthana (the sites of biophysical force, similar to kapha, such as joints), leading to symptoms like Angamarda (Bodyache), Aruchi (Loss of appetite), Alasya (Fatigue), Sandhi Shula (Joints pain), and Sandhishotha (Joint swelling). Amavata is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory systemic disorder that primarily impacts synovial joints. In this case study, a 55-year-old male patient visited the outpatient department of Shree Goraksha Ayurvedic College, Hospital & Research Center in Khamgaon, reporting pain and swelling in several joints for the past three years. Furthermore, he has experienced morning stiffness in these joints for the last year. He also encounters difficulties in walking, along with intermittent fever, which was successfully treated, showing significant results with a review of the understanding of samprapti (pathogenesis) of Amavata was conducted.
