RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AYURVEDIC TREATMENT & HERBAL REMEDIES
ABSTRACT
Bones are the structural unit of the body which help us to maintain posture and provide a proper shape to the body. Bones are made up of organic components, inorganic components and water. Organic components like collagen and proteins. Inorganic components like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium etc. Organic components are flexible in texture and comprise around 34 to 37% (mostly type 1 collagen) on the other hand inorganic components provide rigid and hard texture to bone which is around 40-42% (mostly calcium 85%). Water comprises the rest 23-25% of bone components. Disturbance in the ratio or deficiency of these components can cause bone related problems and fractures. Few other conditions can be autoimmune conditions where due to some trauma, infection, medication the body starts acting against its own system. These diseases are hard to treat and sometimes untreatable depending on severity. But ayurveda doesn’t believe that these diseases are non treatable. If all factors are kept in consideration we can gradually reverse the condition.
