Diseases caused by Purva Janma karma
Rheumatism
is a general term for pain in joints and connective tissues, often related to arthritis. The related term
for this in ancient medical texts is “Vaatha roga”
(wind-disease). The common feature in all these diseases is ‘wind’ (Vaatha), a basic
component (dhatu) in the body which, if vitiated causes Vaatha roga.
There are Poorva Janma causes listed for this
disease in Prasna Marga and Veerasimhaavaloka (karma Vipaka text) which are reproduced
below. While Prasna Marga uses the common term Vaatha roga, Veerasimhaavaloka
makes a distinction between Vaatha roga and Vaatharaktham.
The symptoms of Vaatha roga are pain in joints and
tissues thereby giving rise to difficulty in moving the limbs.
The symptoms of Vaatha raktham are swelling in
joints (sandhi-veekkam), fluid accompanied with heat inside the body, suppuration,
bursting of suppurative swellings etc.
There is yet another type of Vaatha roga, but not
coming under the above set of diseases of rheumatism, as it is related to
gastric troubles caused by indigestion. I will club it under stomach related diseases
that will be written separately.
Vaatha
Roga.

Worship of Lakshmi Narayana
is the recommended for any auto-immune disease. Rheumatoid Arthritis being an
auto-immune disorder, gift of the idol of Lakshmi Narayana is given as a remedy
in Veerasimhaavaloka.
Rheumatism is often accompanied with difficulty in moving the limbs. Walking disability is
also caused by this disease. The Poorva Janma karma for this is mostly to do
with acts that have caused such difficulties to others. Suppose a person has
harmed one in some way that caused the disability to move limbs, it returns to
the person through diseases such as Rheumatism, giving the person the kind of
pain and disability that was caused to others.
The best remedy in such cases is to donate aids that help in walking or moving their limbs.
This is in addition to the remedies given above.

Just discovered your blog. Hope you can reply. Does kampavAtA fall in tgis category of vAta roga and thus remedies are same?
@ eka lavya,
There is no specific reference to Kampavata (Parkinson's disease) in the texts. From Ayur vedic derivations, it seems to be a Vata based disease. If Saturn and Ketu affliction is found, these remedies will be relevant. Otherwise go by the afflicting planets for roga sthan (6th house from lagna and Moonsign), lord of these houses and Mars. The navamsa dispositor of the 6th lord in rasi also must be considered while judging this. Based on these planets, derive the probable remedies.
If Kampavata attacks at younger age, definitely it is purva karma related. If it occurs at old age, it is generalistic.
