Introduction
Adult Still's Disease is a rare type of Arthritis with inflammatory joints, pain, fever, and skin rashes. This can occur once or over and over again in episodes. Along with joint swelling, it also causes swelling in tissues, organs, and lymph nodes. Symptoms appear and disappear in episodes. This can occur for months to years. Adult Still's Disease is also known as Polygenic Autoinflammatory Disorder. While making its prognosis we can assume three conditions
- Adult Still's Disease will be for less than a year.
- Adult Still's Disease will have flares, and symptoms will disappear between them
- Adult Still's Disease will have regular flares with long-term arthritis.
Ayurvedic aspect
In Ayurveda, we cannot relate Adult Still's Disease directly to a disease, but we can correlate its symptoms to many diseases. Rheumatoid Arthritis is correlated to Aamvat which is cured by eliminating ama toxins and balancing Vata dosha in the body. Other inflammatory and skin rashes symptoms are due to an imbalance of Vata and Pitta dosha. These doshas are balanced properly with ayurvedic medicines and therapies. Fever is also a symptom of aamvat and other inflammatory conditions that are treated along with these disorders.
The combined occurrence of these three disorders suggest the excessive aggravation and imbalance of doshas in the body that should be quickly managed by enhancing Ojas (immune system), pacifying doshas, and eliminating toxins from the body.
