Overview

In Ayurveda, it's believed to be caused by an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and is responsible for the functioning of joints and muscles.

About osteo

In Ayurveda, osteoarthritis is understood as "Sandhivata." Let's delve deeper into how Ayurveda perceives and treats this condition:

Dosha Imbalance:

Ayurveda attributes osteoarthritis to an imbalance primarily in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and controls the joints. This imbalance can lead to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in the affected joints.

Dietary Considerations:

Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for osteoarthritis aim to pacify Vata dosha and reduce the formation of ama. This typically involves consuming warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest, such as cooked vegetables, whole grains, herbal teas, and healthy fats like ghee.

Herbal Remedies:

Ayurveda offers a range of herbs and herbal formulations that can help alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis and support joint health. Some commonly used herbs include: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can help reduce pain and inflammation in the joints. Guggulu (Commiphora wightii): Has anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in relieving joint pain and swelling. Shallaki (Boswellia serrata): Possesses anti-inflammatory properties and is effective in managing joint pain and inflammation.
