A 21-year-old male patient was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis at the age of 12. He suffered from joint pain- both major and minor on and off. He would take conventional medicines and get relief. But since the past 4 months, in spite of taking conventional medicine, he was not getting relief from the joint pain. His CRP value was constantly elevated. His Rheumatologist suggested taking Disease Modifying Anti Rheumatic Drugs like Adalimumab / Etanercept, to control the symptoms, but patient was not willing. So, he approached Dr Syamakrishnan, presenting with major and minor joint pain and difficulty in movement. The pain was severe in the knees and neck. This was diagnosed as Pitta Kapha Pradhana Vatashonita in the amavastha. After 5 months of Ayurvedic medicines, he got complete relief from his symptoms and his elevated CRP value became normal. For the past 1 year, the patient has had no complaints and is in remission.
