Vata (the wind element), Pitta (the fire element), and Kapha (the water element) govern the body’s functioning. We are at our healthiest when these three are working in tandem, collaborating and cooperating with one another. RA is caused by Vata Dosha triggered by Inflammation build-up (Ama). Poor metabolism or inadequate gut health leads to accumulation of Ama, leading to tissue level damages. The build up Vata caused by various factors like mutually incompatible foods (Virudhaharam), unwholesome daily regimen, sedentary work patterns, late night vigil, stress etc., pushes Ama to areas of bones and joints.
