Rheumatoid Arthritis is an enigmatic disease. Its historical background is not known. But in the recent years the disease has been extensively probed by development in immunology, biochemistry and radiology. Ayurvedic physicians have also benefited from these new medical advances. RA is often considered a benign disease, but it may cause considerable disability, crippling, and death. Patients sometimes recover spontaneously and achieve complete remission but, in most cases, the disease becomes chronic, resulting in functional deterioration of the joints and disability. There has been extensive scientific research in Ayurvedic therapies during recent years. The present study is intended to focus on the clinical evaluation of an herbal preparation Amritadi churna quoted by Acharya Chakrapani in Chakradatta in the management of Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis). The results were quiet promising for futuristic studies with other herbal preparations.
