Aamvaat and its Correlation with Modern Literature

Aamvaat, commonly known as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects joints but can also impact other tissues and organs. This condition, with roots in ancient Ayurvedic medicine, has been extensively described in classical texts like the Yogratnakar and Madhav Nidan. Modern literature on RA reflects a substantial overlap with these ancient descriptions, particularly in understanding the pathophysiology, symptomatology, and management strategies. This abstract explores the correlation between the traditional Ayurvedic perspective of Aamvaat and contemporary medical literature on Rheumatoid Arthritis. Emphasis is placed on comparing the diagnostic criteria, therapeutic approaches, and holistic management practices.
