Natural Medicine for Joint Pain – Ayurveda

Joint pain can limit mobility, cause discomfort, and affect overall wellbeing.

In Ayurveda, joint pain is often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and dryness in the body. Cold weather, poor digestion, toxin buildup (ama), and stress can worsen this imbalance, leading to stiffness, inflammation, and pain.

Fortunately, Ayurveda offers time-tested, natural remedies to soothe joints, restore balance, and promote lasting relief.
