Aama and Vata are the chief pathogenic factors responsible for the Aamavata. It is the disease of Madhyam Rogamarg. Asthi and Sandhi are the chief sites for the manifestation of cardinal symptoms such as Sandhishool, Sandhisotha, Sandhigraha. Based on clinical symptomatology it can be correlated with the disease “Rheumatoid Arthritis” in modern texts.

Langhana, Deepana- Pachana, local Ruksha Swedana were done along with oral drugs for 30 days. Before starting the treatment, the grading was done on the basis of subjective criteria and after treatment, the grade was reduced. There was no side effect observed during and after the treatment.
