Understanding Arthritis through Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, arthritis is a disease that follows an imbalance of doshas in the body combined
with bad digestion and the chemical wastes resulting from incomplete digestion that accumulate inside
the joints. This derangement of doshas causes further inflammation and pain, and it reduces mobility.
The most common types of arthritis treated are the following:
- Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of joint cartilage, usually related to Vata imbalance.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Auto-immune disease caused by Aggregation of Kapha and Ama.
- Gout: Caused due to an increase in Pitta, which causes inflammation and also severe pain.
