Ayurvedic Treatment for Arthritis : Natural relief for Joint Pain

Arthritis is a common condition that causes joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. According to Ayurveda, arthritis is mainly caused by an imbalance of Vata Dosha, which leads to dryness and degeneration in the joints.

Ayurveda offers natural therapies that help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and strengthen the body.

Types of Arthritis in Ayurveda:

Ayurveda identifies different forms of arthritis such as:

• Sandhivata  – Osteoarthritis

Each condition requires a personalized treatment approach.
