The explanation of Ankylosing spondylitis may seem weird to modern world people but Ayurveda is an ancient healing science utilizing herbs for centuries and still in practice.

According to modern science, these toxins can be correlated with auto-antibodies which are body's own defence system destroying body's own tissues. These toxins are known as "Ama" in Ayurvedic terminology. So the concept of treating Ankylosing spondylitis is digesting the "Ama" by giving.
