Neuromuscular Disorders, Gout & Arthritis, and the Clinical Management of Fever
In this in-depth session of our Ashtanga Hridayam series, we explore Ayurveda's classical understanding of dermatological, hepatic, and neuro-muscular conditions.
This session opens with four classes on Vata disorders, tracing the causes and progression of facial palsy, hemiplegia, frozen shoulder, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and related conditions.
Next, you’ll spend six classes on gout and rheumatoid arthritis (vatashonita): their causes, stages, and prognosis, what aggravates the five types of Vata, and how avarana (Vata blocked or masked by another dosha or tissue) presents in the clinic.
The course closes with five classes on treating fever and inflammation (jwara) step by step, including managing the ama stage, fasting and reducing therapies, Panchakarma, and the formulations that suit each stage.
