Treating Arthritis, Rheumatism with Ayurveda

Joint pain mainly develops due to accumulated toxic matter which results in an imbalance of the three doshas. Due to a weakness of the gastric fire or Agni, when food remains undigested, the undigested juices (Ama rasa) then intermingle with the vitiated doshas, namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The results of which is the creation of pain and inflammation, particularly in the joints, thereby creating and aggravating the condition known as arthritis or severe joint pain which occurs throughout the body.
