Ayurvedic Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis - How It Works?

Getting diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis was the most difficult and challenging thing for Mansi, a 49-year old professional and housemaker. Before visiting the doctor, she doubted her own competence and reached the conclusion that she is good for nothing. This is because she faced difficulty while performing even day-to-day tasks like getting up on time in the morning, getting ready for the office and preparing breakfast and lunch. At times, dressing up also became a task for her. She discarded all her clothes with buttons and made a few changes in the house so as to accommodate herself with the joint pain condition.

She was taking allopathic medicines but wasn’t keen on taking them for a lifetime. She took those pills only on the days when she experienced extreme pain, swelling or stiffness in joints. Gradually, rheumatoid arthritis symptoms became a regular part of her life, which affected her mobility, sleep and overall quality of life. On the recommendation of a friend, she consulted an Ayurvedic doctor. She was given a root-cause based personalised Ayurvedic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis after a detailed consultation. The doctor also provided her with a customised diet plan along with a yoga and exercise routine. She was asked to do regular oil massage with Ayurvedic Oil, Jiva Pain Calm Oil to reduce joint stiffness and inflammation. She continued the treatment and followed doctors’ advice properly. As a result of which, her rheumatoid arthritis symptoms became manageable. The pain and stiffness reduced considerably and she started doing household stuff and other things at ease.

Like Mansi, there are thousands of rheumatoid arthritis patients who live with pain and find difficulty in doing regular chores. But with Ayurvedic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, especially taken in the initial stages of the condition, it can be treated and managed properly. How does it work? Read more to know about it.

Ayurvedic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive disorder. To prevent joints from deteriorating further, one needs to take a comprehensive approach. If not treated properly and on time, it may start affecting other organs and give rise to complications like dry eyes and mouth, infections, carpal tunnel syndrome, heart problems, lung diseases and lymphoma.

Ayurveda takes a comprehensive approach to treat a disorder like rheumatoid arthritis. At Jiva Ayurveda, our doctors go to the root cause of your illness, understand your body constitution and lifestyle, medical history, mental state, etc. to suggest a holistic, personalised Ayurvedic treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. The doctors prescribe customised herbs and rasayanas, yoga and panchakarma therapies, diet and lifestyle modifications and natural Ayurvedic medicines.

Ayurvedic treatment for arthritis that Jiva doctors offer focuses on removing ama (toxins) from the joints, balancing the vata dosha (dosha mainly responsible for joint problems) and strengthening your bones from within.

Usually, rheumatoid arthritis patients visit an Ayurvedic doctor when their disease has already progressed to the last stage or complicated state and everything else has failed in protecting their joints from deteriorating. However, this shouldn’t be the case. When Ayurveda is the first choice for treating arthritis and not the last resort, the results are quicker, better and long-lasting. Conventional medicines and painkillers are good for subsiding the pain but if you want safe and effective relief in your condition, Ayurveda can help you in doing so. So, why wait for the symptoms to flare up when you can strengthen your joints from within and treat the rheumatoid arthritis condition. You can consult Jiva doctors over a video call, phone call or visit your nearest Jiva clinic for the treatment. We’ll be happy to be a part of your treatment journey while you achieve balance and good health with Ayurveda.
