Arthritis Care Through Ayurveda

Arthritis and Ayurvedic Healing: A Path to Wellness

Understanding Arthritis: More Than Just Joint Pain

Arthritis is not merely a condition characterized by joint pain. It profoundly impacts daily comfort, flexibility, and overall quality of life. In Ayurveda, arthritis is viewed as a disorder stemming from an imbalance of Vata dosha, which governs movement and lubrication in the body. When Vata becomes aggravated, it results in dryness, stiffness, degeneration, weakness, and pain in the joints.

Ayurvedic Insights into Arthritis

The most commonly encountered form of arthritis is Sandhivata, a Vata-related condition affecting the joints. This condition can be either degenerative or inflammatory, manifesting symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and dryness. Commonly seen Sandhivata conditions in clinical practice include:

• Cervical spondylosis

• Lumbar spondylosis

• Disc prolapse

• Sciatica

• Tennis elbow

• Frozen shoulder

• Osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, hands, etc.

  
  

In addition to these, conditions like Amavat (Rheumatoid arthritis) and Vatarakta (Gout) are also prevalent in Goa. The accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body, often due to poor digestion or lifestyle choices, leads to Amavata, resulting in swelling, inflammation, stiffness, and severe joint pain.

Our Holistic Therapy Approach for Arthritis

At Sree Shanti Wellness, our treatment approach aims not only to alleviate pain but also to address the root causes of the disorder. By correcting the imbalance, we can reverse the pathology and promote healing in the joints through a combination of diet, rest, medicines, and therapies. The following steps outline our arthritis care process:

1. Personal Consultation

   Each individual's condition is unique. After assessing your dosha imbalance, digestive strength (Agni), lifestyle, and the root cause of your condition, our physician designs a customized treatment plan. This plan includes diet, exercise, medicines, and therapy tailored to your needs.

   
   

2. Detoxification (Panchakarma) and Therapies

   Not every condition can be managed with medications alone. To eliminate deep-seated toxins and reduce inflammation, we employ specialized therapies such as Abhyanga (oil massage), Swedana (herbal steam therapy), Janu Basti, Kati Basti, Manya Basti, Patra Pinda Swedan, Churna Pinda Swedan, Upanaha Swedan, Lepanam, Basti, and Virechana. These therapies are performed under expert supervision to ensure optimal results.

   
   

3. Herbal Medicines & Formulations

   We provide carefully chosen Ayurvedic medicines tailored to your arthritis. These formulations help reduce pain, nourish joints, and strengthen bones and muscles. Classical preparations such as Rasnadi Kashayam, Guggulu preparations, and Dashamoola, along with our proprietary herbal combinations, are often utilized.

   
   

4. Diet & Lifestyle Guidance

5. Consume warm, easily digestible foods.

6. Avoid cold, dry, and fermented items.

7. Maintain regular oil massages to keep Vata in balance.

9. Engage in gentle yoga and stretching to support mobility.




10. Rejuvenation (Rasayana Therapy)

    Once pain subsides, we prescribe Rasayana herbs to strengthen tissues, enhance flexibility, and prevent recurrence.
