What is

Ayurvedic Treatment for Arthritis?

Ayurvedic treatment for arthritis combines Shodhana (cleansing therapy) and Shamana (palliative care). At Ideal Ayurvedic Resort we study each person's body type (dosha), look for the root cause using Ayurvedic methods, and then begin therapies such as Virechana, Abhyanga, Basti and Upanaham, with medicated oils to lubricate the joints and strengthen the surrounding muscles.

The aim is to support digestion and metabolism and help ease joint pain, swelling and stiffness.

Your treatment plan is set after consultation with an Ayurvedic physician. Please continue any prescribed medication and inform our doctor about it.

How Ayurveda Understands Arthritis

Arthritis is a painful condition of the joints. Ayurveda looks at it through two main patterns.

Sandhivata (Joint Disorder)

Ayurveda treats arthritis as a disorder of the bones and joints in which a vitiated Vata dosha and ama (undigested or improperly formed food essence) play the main role. Unhealthy food habits can weaken digestion and metabolism, so care aims to correct both.

Amavata (Rheumatoid Arthritis)

Ayurveda describes rheumatoid arthritis as Amavata, linked to a build-up of toxins (ama) and an imbalance of Vata. Modern medicine considers it an autoimmune condition. Our approach combines detoxification, herbal formulations, medicated oils and diet changes.
