How many people get affected by Rheumatoid Arthritis ?
Rheumatoid arthritis has a worldwide prevalence rate of 0.5% to 1% in adults .
This disease is two or three times more common in women than in men .
People of any age can get affected with this disease, it even affects children, but it most often starts after 40 years of age .


How does Rheumatoid arthritis affect the body ?
This type of arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, which means our immune system has began to attack it’s own tissues instead of protecting them.
Inflammation is a normal response by our immune system against infections, wounds and foreign objects. In rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory immune response is wrongly directed towards our joint tissues.
The chemicals substances produced by our immune system attacks the soft tissues (Synovium) of the joints and cause inflammation in them.
This leads to swelling, stiffness, redness and pain in the joints.
This inflammatory process progresses to damage the bone cartilages and the joint surfaces.  If left unchecked, it further produces joint deformities and disability.
Smaller joints are generally first affected in a symmetrical manner. Potentially any joint can get affected with the disease.
Along with the joints,  other organs and systems of the body, including the lungs, heart, and kidneys can also get affected.


What are the common factors that cause Rheumatoid arthritis ?
The exact cause of the disease is unknown, however many predisposing factors have been attributed.
Improper dietary habits and unhealthy lifestyle are the most common causative factors as per Ayurveda.
Cold weather, physical and mental stress, certain viral and bacterial infections have been attributed as precipitating factors.


How can Doctor Panickers Ayurveda help ?



Amavata (Rheumatoid arthritis) occurs when an individual indulges in factors that aggravte Vata dosha and Ama (Toxins) in the body. Improper digestion and metabolism leads to accumulation of Ama (Toxins) in our body. This Ama combined with the aggravated Vata dosha localises in the joints and produces pain, swelling and stiffness.
In the initial stage, ayurvedic medications that metabolizes the Ama (toxins) and eliminate them out of the body are prescribed. Later, medications that pacify the aggravated Vata dosha are prescribed by assessing the changes in patients condition.
The choice of the treatment modality is made based on the assessment of the condition of the patient and the severity of the disease.
A Healthy planned diet is essential to support the normal functioning of our immune system, reduce the disease exacerbations and nourish the weakened joints. It thus reduces the severity or frequency of symptoms of the disease.
Following a diet rich in fruit and vegetables helps control the long standing inflammation of the joints. Their nutrients have antioxidant property that helps to neutralize free radical production by the body.

Milk boiled with dry ginger can be taken in the morning and evening instead of tea and coffee.
Consume milk mixed with 3 gms of turmeric powder. Turmeric is  very effective to control inflammation of the joints.
Consume fruits and vegetables such as drumsticks, bitter gourd, carrot, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, mustard greens, papaya. These food items help to reduce the inflammation and hyperactivity of the immune system.

In Ayurveda, Chicken Pox is known as Laghu Masurika. It is medically known as Vericella. It is a highly contagious disease and mostly attacks children between the age group of one to ten years and some times affect adults. It is a viral disease and even after the disease has been cured the virus remains hidden in the body and may attack again later. It is often mistaken as small pox but it is a different disease and less severe.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS

It is mainly caused by a virus called varicella-zoster virus. Local skin infection due to over growth of other bacteria, sensitive skin, prolonged illness, poor immunity, use of a strong soap and taking a long bubble bath may also be one of the causes of chicken pox. People who are in contact with the chicken pox patients have a high chance of getting the disease.
The disease starts with slight fever and pain in the back and legs. The person has a runny or stuffy nose and a burning sensation in the eyes which become red in color and water. There may also be a feeling of chill. Within twenty four hours of these symptoms small red papules appear on the back, arms, legs and chest. Sometimes these papules may also arise on the fore head. These papules turn into vesicles but these dry up within a day or two and a crust brown in color appear on them. These eruptions last several days.
According to ayurveda, chicken pox is caused due to the vitiation of all the doshas – vata dosha, pitta dosha and kapha dosha.

Herniated disk what we commonly call ‘slipped disk’.  It can be a very painful and debilitating condition.
How does Ayurveda help treat herniated disc naturally and safely?
In Ayurveda, herniated disk is a condition that happens due to an imbalance of Vata element. This throws your body out of equilibrium. Ayurvedic treatment is a good way to restore the basic functional strength of your body.
In some people, symptoms like severe back pain, leg pain, or weakness of the lower extremity muscles are traced to a herniated disc. When the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed outside its normal position, you have a herniated disc. This can occur as a result of rupture or bulging due to injury, disease, or deterioration. The spinal disc when pushed out irritates the spinal nerves that lay very close to the edge of these spinal discs causing severe pain.
Herniated disc can occur to anyone. It is, however, seen more commonly in people between the ages of 35 to 45 who perform heavy manual labour or drive motor vehicles for long periods of time. There are a plethora of effective Ayurvedic treatments for herniated disks that help restore the equilibrium that is caused by Vata imbalance and provide you relief from lower back pain.
How Ayurvedic therapies help in treating herniated disk?
The ayurvedic healing therapies are beneficial in many ways:
  • -They help in strengthening the supportive tissues that hold your spine.
  • -They help release the muscular spasm and nerve compression.
  • -They nourish the joints by enhancing circulation and relieve pain.
Here are the Ayurvedic therapies you can employ to treat herniated disk:
Kativasti
The term ‘Kativasti’ is made up of two parts – ‘Kati’ meaning the waist area of your body and ‘Vasti’ meaning a pouch like arrangement. In Kativasti treatment, medicated oils are used on your back to treat the herniated disk condition.
Procedure:
The patient is made to lie down on his/her stomach on a bed. Medicated oil is spread over the lumbo-sacral area. After this, a reservoir or a ring is made on this lumbo-sacral region with dough made out of black gram powder. It is made sure that the ring is free from any leakage.
Medicated lukewarm oil is slowly poured into this ring. The temperature of the oil is preserved by reheating and continuously adding more oil. This is done for 30 to 40 minutes.
Later, the affected area is massaged lightly. It is followed by steaming for another 15 minutes which allows better absorption of medicated oil in your body. This process is carried over five to seven days as prescribed by the ayurvedic doctor.
How safe is Kativasti?
Kativasti is pretty safe for you. There are no side effects. This treatment is even safe for heart patients as only gentle massage is given. The only precaution to be taken is to keep the temperature of the medicated oil lukewarm to avoid blistering or scalding of skin.
Abhyanga
Abhyanga is a process where a person is given massage in slow and rhythmic movements throughout the body from head to toe. Warm medicated oils are used by one or two massage therapists for 40 to 60 minutes. The Abhyanga massage is performed in seven postures in by varying pressure at different points in the body.
