As you would have often heard, Ayurveda treats the person and not the disease directly. In the case of Rheumatism the Ayurvedic Doctor follows a body cleansing/ purification treatment schedule with the aim of immune correction to stop further attacks and damage of the joints. Thereafter a detailed program is followed which includes Elakizhi, Pizhichil, Muttakizhi, Manalkizhi, Greevavasti , Shirodhara, Nasyam and Januvasti.
