Arthritis, also known as Sandhivat, refers to a group of diseases that affect the joints, leading to symptoms such as joint pain, redness, swelling, and inflammation. According to Ayurveda, Arthritis occurs due to the inflammation of joints, which is caused by the accumulation of vitiated vata dosha and ama dosha in different joints. This results in stiffness and restricted movement of the affected joints. The vitiated vata dosha reduces the lubrication of the joints, lowers bone density, and causes the degeneration of cartilage discs, ligament swelling, and stiffness. As a result, movement becomes severely painful. Ayurvedic treatment for Arthritis is known to be very effective. The primary goal of this treatment is to reduce joint pain, swelling, inflammation, and improve joint mobility. Various Panchakarma therapies such as Basti, Kati Basti, Snehana, and Swedana are used to reduce swelling and degenerative changes in the joints, and they help to restore lubrication and strength to the joints. Ayurvedic medicinal treatments also focus on improving the digestive system, reducing vitiated vata and ama dosha, and thereby alleviating joint pain.
