Doctors' responses
Chikungunya often leaves long-term joint pain and stiffness that can mimic RA. –In rheumatoid arthritis (Amavata), Ashwagandha is generally not the primary herb because it can sometimes increase Ama and aggravate inflammation in some patients. It may be used only in selected cases . Treatment is usually based on Ama-pachana, Vata balance, and proper detox approach rather than routine Ashwagandha use. —Diagnosis: Amavata / RA / Post-viral arthritis Rx: 1) Aimil Livomyn – 1–2 tab BD after food 2) Aimil Rheumocare – 1–2 tab BD after food 3) Aimil Orthovita – 1 tab BD after food 4) tab trifla 1 tab at night 5) Rheumocare oil local application BD + mild warm fomentation —Advice: Warm light diet, avoid curd at night & cold/fried foods, gentle physiotherapy.
