Arthritis Treatment in Gurgaon at Ayulife Ayurveda – 28 Years of Ayurvedic Expertise in Joint and Arthritis Care

In Ayurveda, arthritis is referred to as “Sandhivata”, a condition that primarily arises due to an imbalance of the Vata dosha—the principle that governs movement and circulation in the body. When Vata becomes aggravated, it leads to the accumulation of “Ama” (toxins) in the joints. This combination of aggravated Vata and Ama obstructs normal joint function, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and restricted movement.

Definition of Arthritis in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda and our experience at Ayulife , arthritis develops when digestive fire (Agni) becomes weak, leading to incomplete digestion and toxin formation (Ama). These toxins accumulate in the joints, disturbing the balance of the doshas—particularly Vata—and resulting in joint degeneration and inflammation. Arthritis is classified into different types, such as:

  • Sandhivata – Osteoarthritis caused by wear and tear of cartilage due to aggravated Vata.
  • Amavata – Rheumatoid arthritis caused by Ama (toxins) and Vata imbalance leading to inflammation and pain.
  • Vatarakta – Gout, where Vata and Rakta (blood) doshas are vitiated, leading to pain and swelling, especially in small joints.

Key factors that contribute to arthritis include:

  • Irregular eating habits and poor digestion
  • Sedentary lifestyle or excessive strain on joints
  • Aging and natural degeneration

Ayurvedic Approach to Managing Arthritis

The Ayurvedic treatment of arthritis focuses on:

  • Eliminating Ama (toxins) from the body through detoxification therapies such as Panchakarma.
  • Balancing the aggravated doshas, especially Vata.
  • Rejuvenating the joints using herbal oils, therapies, and Rasayana (rejuvenation) medicines.
