Ayurvedic Treatment of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a form of arthritis that occurs in the children under the age of 17 years. It is also known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis and is the most common type of arthritis in children. This type of arthritis may cause several serious complications if left untreated. Hence, the treatment is required. The Ayurvedic treatment is a great option to treat this arthritis.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS?

The symptoms of this type of arthritis usually last for six weeks, but some children may experience the symptoms for few months. In some children the symptoms may last for their entire life. The common symptoms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis are listed below:

  • Pain in the joints
  • Swelling and inflammation in the joints
  • Stiffness in the joints

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS?

This joint problem occurs when the immune system of the body attacks its own cells and tissues. The exact reason behind this is still unknown, but heredity seems to trigger this condition. A family history of arthritis may pose a risk for developing this joint disorder. Some environmental factors such as viruses may trigger this condition.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT OF JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Ayurveda offers a natural way to take care of the body. Ayurveda says, health problems are the results of the imbalances in the doshas (vata, pitta and kapha). Hence, these doshas must be in balance in order to keep our body free from disease.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis that is caused due to the aggravation of vata dosha of the body. Accumulation of ama in the body is another cause of this arthritis. Ama is a toxic product of improper digestion. This toxic product circulates in an entire body and gets collected at the weaker sites. When it gets deposited in the joints and with the aggravation of vata dosha, then this condition leads to disease which is known as aamvata. Arthritis is known as Aamvata in Ayurveda.

DIET AND ARTHRITIS

Diet plays an important role in managing the symptoms of joint problems. Here are some dietary recommendations for patients suffering from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Foods such as vegetable juices and soups, are easy to digest and do not make gas and hence are good ones. Juice of mixed vegetables such as carrot, beat root and cucumber is highly beneficial.
  • A person should eat a lot of green salad with an addition of salt and lemon juice.
  • Fruits such as apples, papaya, oranges and grapes are great for managing the symptoms.
  • Cooking foods with spices like cumin, ginger, coriander, garlic, fennel and turmeric can be helpful.
  • Hot, spicy and fried foods should be avoided as much as possible.  Some foods, including sweets and wind forming foods should also be taken in a limited amount. Wind forming foods are spinach, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, okra and potatoes.
  • Excessive intake of tea and coffee should be avoided.
