From the foreword:
This book Amavata Vijnana or Rheumatology in Ayurveda is a sincere effort in this direction. It has explained in a very simple language the intricacies of Amavata, Sandhivata and Vatarakta. A very good correlation between the pathogenesis both from modern and Ayurvedic point of view is a highlight of this book. It contains excellent photographs that will help the reader to visualize the conditions very easily.
