Arthritis refers to a group of inflammatory joint disorders characterized by pain, swelling, and stiffness. Common types include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout.

Management involves medication, lifestyle modifications, and, in Ayurveda, holistic approaches targeting the root causes. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and personalized Ayurvedic treatments are integral in enhancing joint health and mitigating arthritis symptoms.
Causes of Arthritis
Arthritis, a common condition affecting millions worldwide, encompasses a group of disorders causing inflammation and stiffness in the joints. The primary causes of arthritis are multifaceted, often involving a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, as certain individuals may inherit a susceptibility to arthritis. Environmental factors, such as infections or injuries, can trigger the onset of arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.
Treatment of Arthritis
According to Ayurveda, most pains are caused by the aggravation of vata (air) dosha. Arthritis is a condition that is caused by the accumulation of ama and aggravation of vata.
- Utilize Ayurvedic herbs with anti-inflammatory properties, such as turmeric, ginger, and Boswellia, to reduce joint inflammation.
- Administer detoxification procedures to eliminate accumulated toxins contributing to arthritis symptoms.
- Prescribe an anti-inflammatory diet, emphasizing foods that pacify aggravated doshas and promote joint health.
- Provide personalized recommendations for exercise, yoga, and daily routines to support joint flexibility and overall well-being.
- Focus on balancing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas to address individual imbalances contributing to arthritis.
- Employ external applications such as warm oil massages and poultices to alleviate pain and nourish joints.
- Incorporate stress-reducing techniques like meditation to address psychological factors impacting arthritis.
- Conduct an individualized assessment to identify specific triggers and tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
