This study reviews the changes in the Gulpha Sandhi Sharir, with a specific focus on Amavata. Gulpha Sandhi Sharir refers to the ankle joint in Ayurveda, which is crucial for movement. Amavata is a chronic inflammatory disorder that resembles rheumatoid arthritis and primarily affects the joints, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited mobility.The review examines key structures in the Gulpha Sandhi, including bones, ligaments, tendons, and synovial membranes, and explains how Amavata impacts these structures. By analyzing classical Ayurvedic texts alongside modern medical literature, this study clarifies the development of Amavata, highlighting the accumulation of Ama (toxins) and its interaction with Vata dosha. The study discusses significant issues such as joint tissue damage, abnormalities in synovial fluid, and inflammation. It aims to link Ayurvedic principles with modern anatomical understanding, providing valuable insights for the management and treatment of this challenging condition.
