Home Remedies For Rheumatoid Arthritis |

Let’s check out what Ayurveda has to say about this incurable and very painful disease.
Indigestion makes us uneasy and constipated, making the wind in our body poisonous. And when this combination mixes with our blood to reaches the various organs including our knee, it accumulates there and we feel pain and stiffness. This condition is called Aamvaat in Ayurveda.
After a while, if this condition is not cured, it takes the form of Arthritis.
The only thing that we can do as a person to prevent this disease is to keep the digestion process of our body up to the mark, and not let indigestion harass us. If we keep ignoring this disease, it becomes incurable.
Symptoms of Arthritis

Now take a look at some tips that can help in the initial stages of Arthritis.
Note: Although according to Allopathy, Arthritis is categorized into three parts, but Ayurveda offers the same solution for all of them.

Steam massaging procedure
As promised earlier, let’s dive into the steam massage procedure for reliving the pain of Arthritis. When the air in your body is poisonous, it can lead to pain in head, eyes, knee or lower back. Let’s take a look at the steam massage process:
- In 2 liters water, add a handful of Ajwain (carom seeds) and 1-2 spoons of sea salt and bring it to boil.
- When the steam from it starts to rise, cover it with a seep that has holes, like the one used to clean wheat powder.
- Now, take 2 pieces of clothes that are small and thick or use a napkin and soak it in water. After removing the excess water, fold it four times and put it over the cover of the boiling water.
- When the steam makes the cloth hot, take it and put another piece of cloth just like in step 3.
- Check the hotness of the cloth, if it’s too hot let it cool down, otherwise place it on the affected area to release the pain. Everyday steam massage for 20-25 minutes for better results.
This process is known as “Bhap seink vidhi” or steam massage.
Some points to remember while applying this method:
- Never use this for headaches or place it on the area below the navel; otherwise, it can be used on any body part.
- Stop the steam massage once the pain is gone. This procedure gives better and fast result than using rubber bag filled with warm water.
- One can use this water for up to three days, on the fourth day, use new water and repeat the steps.
