Rheumatoid arthritis according to Ayurveda is generally caused by the accumulation of ama. Ama is a toxic substance that is created when the body fire gets imbalanced. The basic starting point of the creation of ama is the imbalance of vata which gradually moves to the joints, brain, stomach, chest, and other Kapha dominating parts of the body. Ama is sticky in nature, so it blocks all the important channels which are used for nourishing the body. This ama not only affects the joints but also reaches all parts of the body causing damage to them.
