Ayurveda is oldest life science. Currently people are busy in getting success which has resulted in Mithya ahara-vihara (improper lifestyle & food habits). Amavata is also result of such disturbed lifestyle. Amavata is not mentioned in Brihat-Trayee (major three classical texts). Ama and Vata are the main components in the pathogenesis of Amavata. Vata gets obstructed by Ama and gets vitiated. It circulates Ama all over the body giving rise to the symptoms like Shoola, Shotha, Gauravata etc. The prevalence of RA is approximately 0.8% of the population (range 0.3 to 2.1%); Women are affected approximately more. Available modern drugs not cure and not directed towards improving quality of life and adverse effects is the issue again. Considering the longer duration of therapy and available costly therapies herbal drug like Panchsam churna which is cost effective was tested here. Study was carried out in one sample of 60 patients suffering from Amavata. Overall moderate relief in symptoms was observed. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test has shown significant difference between BT and AT mean for all symptoms (P<0.05). No control drug was taken.
