Ayurvedic
Approach in Treatment of Rheumatism
Rheumatism
consists of various types of diseases and, therefore, one line of
treatment cannot be suggested for all types of diseases.
Yet, in ayurveda, treatment of all rheumatic problems,
with the exception of gout and knee-related disorders, is almost
the same. Local application,
massaging, removal of constipation, restoration of mobility and stopping
furtheer damage are the basic concepts.
However,
the role of food in controlling a disease cannot be denied.
Some rheumatic and arthritic disorders can be improved via a
dietary regimen. If one takes
ayurvedic medicines and herbs but
fails to eliminate disturbing food items from the diet, he is simply
wasting resources and efforts. In
fact, food and medicine complement each other.
Hence, due weightage should be given to the dietary regimen. There are certain dietary restrictions in ayurveda for
those who are suffering from rheumatic problems.
