In Ayurveda, arthritis is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, leading to dryness, pain, and inflammation in the joints. Panchakarma therapies, like Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm herbal oils and Shirodhara, can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and soothe joint pain. Specific herbs like Guggulu, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric (curcumin) are known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. It’s also beneficial to incorporate a diet that avoids excess cold, dry, and processed foods while focusing on warming, moistening, and grounding foods. Discuss with your practitioner about the best combination of therapies and herbs based on your unique constitution (Prakriti) and condition, as well as any dietary or lifestyle modifications.
