hi sir/madam, Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. Severe arthritis can be easily treated by the Ayurveda. Before going for the treatment as a ayurvedic doctor i would suggest some diets plans which will help in:- 1.Avoid worsening of joint pain, stiffness and swelling. 2.Avoid worsening of gastro – intestinal health. 3.Avoid ‘Ama’ formation – a state of impaired digestion and metabolism, which is the main cause for Rheumatoid arthritis, according to Ayurveda. 4.Avoid imbalance of Kapha and Vata, which in turn worsen stiffening, pain and inflammation. Avoid these food habits:- 1.Curds. 2.fish. 3.Jaggery. 4.Contaminated water, cold water, frozen food stuff. 5.Avoiding natural urges. 6.Skipping night sleep. 7. Black gram. 8. Oil massage – Ayurveda is not all about pouring oils and rubbing on body. In Rheumatoid arthritis, oil massage is not advised. What all things can be added to diet:- 1. Barley. 2. Red rice. 3. Bitter gourd. 4. Ginger. 5. Garlic processed in buttermilk. 6. Water processed with Panchakola churna. I will prescribe some ayurvedic medines which will give you excellent results. 1. Panchasama chooran:– This powder should be taken in a dose of 3-5 grams mixed in hot water half an hour after food, twice daily or at bedtime. 2. Simhanada Guggulu:- 1-0-1 after food with water. 3. Rasnasaptakam Kashayam:- 10 to 30 ml with equal quqntity of water. 4. Panchakola chooran:- 1tsp powder mixed with hot water before or after food. follow the diet and take medicine on proper time. hope i was helpful. stay healthy stay safe.
