Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, autoimmune disease most commonly found in today’s era. Rheumatoid arthritis can be correlated with Amavata in Ayurveda, where acharyas well explain the etiopathology of the disease. Nidana plays a vital role in the progression of the disease. Hence, knowledge of nidana is essential for avoiding disease conditions and treatment. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease with an unknown cause or genetic susceptibility, according to modern science. Therefore, we need to find causative factors explained in Samhitas that can correlate with the modern era.
