Amavata is mainly due to the derangement of Agni, which results in the yield of ama, which circulates in the body and gets located in sandhis, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling over the joints. In modern times, it can be correlated to Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorder that mainly affects the joints but can also affect many other tissues and organs. It mostly affects several joints [poly arthritis] simultaneously, along with stiffness, swelling, morning sickness, etc. This commonly occurs between the ages of 40 and 70 and is more widely seen in females than males, with a ratio of 3:1, respectively. Owing to its chronicity, complications, morbidity, and crippling nature, Amavata will be challenging for the physician to treat. Methods: This is a single case study of a 51-year male patient with complaints of pain in the bilateral knee joint, meta carpo phalangeal joints, proximal interphalangeal joints, elbow joints, and right shoulder joint for 2 years, along with severe pain all over the day and morning stiffness. He was administered internal medicines along with external therapies such as Dhanyamla dhara, mild abhyanga, patra pinda swedam, and matra vasti. Result: The patient had symptomatic relief, such as reduced pain, stiffness, and swelling; he could lift his hand to walk, and the flexibility of the joints became easier. Interpretation and conclusion: The stiffness and pain for the patient have been reduced with the help of Dhanyamla dhara, mild abhyanga, patra pinda swedam, and matra vasti.
