Ayurveda is used by some Ayurvedic practitioners to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), which they refer to as “amavata.” Supplements, dietary changes, and exercise can all be part of an Ayurvedic therapy plan.
Many of the dietary and exercise-related adjustments may be beneficial if done under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, any decrease in inflammation is likely to be beneficial. Working with a rheumatologist and an Ayurvedic practitioner is vital since RA can cause joint damage if not treated properly.
