Natural Ayurvedic Remedy For Arthritis
By Sam

Arthritis or joint pains is caused mainly due to suppression of agni or digestive fire. This results in poor digestion, which leads to accumulation of undigested wastes in the body resulting in buildup of ama (waste matter). The toxins reach different parts of body and get accumulated at joints.

Thus the first step in treating is to stimulate agni (digestive fire).

Ayurveda classify into three – vata, pitta and kapha type joint pains.

Vata type is characterized by dryness of the joints.  Pitta type is characterized by swollen joints. Pain increases when you move your limbs. Joints feel hot. Kapha type is characterized by stiff swollen joints. Joints feel cold. Move the limbs a bit and you feel relieved from pain.

Certain yoga postures are found to offer relief from pain. Choose the yoga postures that may be beneficial to you with the help of a trained yoga practitioner. Detoxification processes including enemas and panchakarma are beneficial in treating arthritis.
