What is Osteoarthritis?
As a degenerative joint disorder, osteoarthritis causes the breakdown of tissues over time. People in old age are more susceptible to osteoarthritis which is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage that protects the bones deteriorates over time. Although it commonly affects knees, hips, hands and spine, osteoarthritis can damage any joint. People with osteoarthritis experience it differently. For some individuals, the pain is manageable and allows them to carry out their daily activities, whereas others face more severe pain and limitations. Osteoarthritis develops gradually over the years but for some, it could worsen quickly. The focus of Ayurvedic treatment for osteoarthritis is on balancing the doshas. This reduces inflammation, improves digestion, and promotes overall joint health. Ayurveda treatment for osteoarthritis varies based on individual condition and the severity of the disease.

Heal Osteoarthritis Naturally With Ayurveda
Ayurveda believes that an imbalance of the Vata dosha is closely associated with the worsening of OA, as it affects joint health and mobility. Ayurvedic remedies for Osteoarthritis prevent joint deterioration and regenerate damaged cartilage. For lubrication and strengthening of joints, specific herbs are recommended as treatments to alleviate Vata. Ayurvedic practitioners frequently recommend custom-made formulations based on a person’s specific constitution. The combination of different herbs in these formulations is designed to specifically address the complexities of osteoarthritis, providing a tailored treatment solution. Ayurvedic remedies target the underlying cause of osteoarthritis, taking into account an individual’s constitution and imbalances.
Ayurveda provides various herbal treatment methods for curing Osteoarthritis. Treatment options for osteoarthritis effectively reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body.
The Ayurvedic approach to treating Joint Pain (Osteoarthritis) restores damaged tissues and cartilage in the affected joints. To lubricate and strengthen the joints, it is advised to take Vata-pacifying medications. By understanding the patient’s health condition and the root cause of their condition, we create a personalised treatment plan.
