The Ayurvedic term for rheumatoid arthritis is Amavata. Ayurveda says the reason for this disease is formation of Ama (toxins) in the body due to poor digestion, followed by vitiation of all Dosha i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

Ama is formed in body due to incompletedigestion of foods. It is cold, slimy and heavy. This toxic-poisonous waste produced by digestive weakness is said to clog the channels in the body (the shrotas), giving rise to disease. Ama is first localized to Kapha regions (chest, stomach, joint) and then vitiated by Vata, Pitta and Kapha and circulates in whole body causing joint problems, stiffness, lethargy, dullness, lack of mind clarity, confusion, and heaviness.

In Ayurveda, it is believed Amavata develops due to intake of incompatible foods, chronic indigestion, intake of rough, cold, dry, unclean, and difficult to digest foods, faulty habits of living, lack of exercise and doing exercise after taking heavy meal.

Amavata is a chronic disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs.

Clinical Study

A double blind placebo controlled clinical trial of BGR-34 in patients with mild to moderate diabetes mellitus was carried out. The study was done on 48 patients (30 male and 18 females) with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There were 24 patients in the BGR-34 group (drug arm) and 24 patients in the placebo group (placebo arm).

The study concluded, BGR-34 showed very promising results with respect to glycemic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There was a significant improvement in the feeling of well-being due to better control of hyperglycemia. The various mechanisms through which the drug showed these results may be attributed to delay in absorption of glucose from GIT, Inhibition of Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulation and enhancing insulin release and conversion of pro insulin to insulin. It is further suggested that BGR-34 should be further extensively used as a mono therapy/adjunctive therapy for the regulation/ control of blood glucose level.
