Abstract
Ayurvedic thought holds that diet is the foundation of both the body and disease. Whereas a healthy diet builds the body, diseases are caused by the opposite.
In India, the fast food culture, hectic lifestyle, and rapid modernisation that are common in cities are also encroaching on rural areas. Because of their altered dietary and living habits, people nowadays are vulnerable to a variety of diseases. Among these metabolic disorders is vatarakta.Stiffness, joint swelling, and pain are among the symptoms of Vatarakta, a chronic illness marked by joint and systemic pain. Both Vata dosha and Rakta dhatu are vitiated in this disease; vitiated Rakta obstructs aggravated Vata, which causes more imbalance and aggravates Vata dosha. According to contemporary science, it shares signs and symptoms with gout. A condition of purine metabolism, gouty arthritis is an inflammatory reaction to the crystals of monosodium urea monohydrate (MSUM) that develop as a result of hyperuricaemia.
