Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly targets its own joint tissues, primarily the synovial membrane — the lining of joints. This immune attack leads to persistent inflammation, thickening of the joint lining, and progressive damage to cartilage and bone. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear, RA is systemic and inflammatory, often affecting joints on both sides of the body symmetrically — commonly the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, and ankles. Over time, RA can lead to joint deformity, reduced mobility, chronic fatigue, and even complications in other organs if left untreated. Early diagnosis and holistic intervention are key to slowing progression and preserving joint function.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis Treatment
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own joints, leading to chronic inflammation, swelling, pain, and progressive joint damage. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is wear-and-tear based, rheumatoid arthritis can affect multiple joints symmetrically and may also impact other organs. If left untreated, it can lead to joint deformity and a significant decline in mobility and quality of life.
At BJRM Ayurveda, we take a comprehensive and root-cause approach to managing rheumatoid arthritis. Our treatment is designed to calm the overactive immune response, reduce inflammation, and protect joint structures using time-tested Ayurvedic therapies. This includes detoxification through Panchakarma, immune-modulating herbal medicines, personalized diet and lifestyle guidance, and specialized therapies like Marma stimulation and Snehana. Our aim is to ease pain, prevent further joint erosion, and help patients regain energy, mobility, and a better quality of life—naturally and sustainably.

Ayurveda’s Perspective on Rheumatoid Arthritis
According to Ayurveda, Rheumatoid Arthritis (known as Amavata) is primarily a result of aggravated Vata dosha combined with Ama — toxic, undigested metabolic waste that accumulates due to poor digestion (Agni imbalance). When Vata carries this Ama into the joints, it obstructs the channels (Srotas) and causes swelling, stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. The condition often begins with sluggish digestion, heaviness in the body, and fatigue, progressing to painful, inflamed joints that shift in location and worsen in cold or damp weather.
As the disease advances, the toxic buildup continues to irritate and inflame the synovial lining, eroding joint structures and causing deformities. The autoimmune nature of RA is seen in Ayurveda as the body attacking itself under the influence of accumulated Ama and disturbed doshas — particularly Vata and Kapha — disrupting both immunity (Ojas) and joint health.
Ayurvedic treatment for RA focuses on digesting and eliminating Ama, pacifying Vata, and strengthening digestion and immunity. This involves deep detoxification through Panchakarma — especially Langhana (lightening therapies), Swedana (sudation), and Virechana (purgation) — followed by Rasayana (rejuvenation) to rebuild tissues and restore balance. Herbal formulations are used to reduce inflammation, support metabolism, and nourish joints. Along with diet and lifestyle adjustments to boost Agni and prevent recurrence, the goal is not just relief from symptoms, but long-term immune regulation and improved joint resilience.

Marma Bandhana
Marma Bandhana is a targeted Ayurvedic therapy that helps manage Rheumatoid Arthritis by calming inflammation, easing joint pain, and supporting immune balance. It involves wrapping medicated herbal bandages on specific marma points—vital energy centers linked to joints and nerves. These bandages are infused with herbs that pacify aggravated Vata and clear Ama (toxic buildup), helping reduce swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in commonly affected areas like fingers, wrists, knees, and ankles. Unlike aggressive treatments, Marma Bandhana works gently, promoting mobility and slowing joint damage over time. Regular sessions can support long-term relief and improve overall joint function.

I’m 43 years old. I had intense hip pain and numbness running down my leg, and couldn’t sit for more than five minutes. A friend recommended BJRM Ayurveda. The doctor suggested Marma Bandhana, a non-invasive treatment. This is my 11th session out of 15, and I’ve almost fully recovered.
Bhuvanesh

I’m 73 years old and had been suffering from bilateral osteoarthritis in both knees for over five years. Nothing worked in allopathy, so I decided to try Ayurvedic treatment at BJRM. After 15 sessions of Marma Bandhana therapy, my knee problem is almost cured. I also had gastric issues and am currently undergoing treatment for that as well.
