Ayurveda & Osteoathritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common condition, affecting the weight bearing joints (e.g. knees, lower back, hips, etc.), often described as "wear and tear" arthritis.

In Ayurveda this condition is called as Sandhighat Vata.
This condition can be a very mild disease or a severe disease that greatly limits everyday activity.
Ayurvedic Science is based on the principles of Bio-energy.

There are three types of Bio-energies or Doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which control metabolism and all other functions of human body.

The equillibrium of the Doshas provide complete health and imbalance of these Doshas lead to various disorders.

Osteoarthritis (Sandhighat Vata) is a Vata disorder in which excessive Vata energy causes dryness in the joints followed by pain, swelling and stiffness of affected joints.

Ayurvedic therapy in Osteoarthritis not only prevents further deterioration in the joints but also rejuvenates the damaged cartilages.
