Understanding Arthritis

Arthritis is a common disease around the world, and many people in India also suffer from it.

When you have arthritis, your joints ache, you feel stiff, and moving them becomes more challenging.

Since this illness affects people all over the world, there are many medicines to treat it. However, one of the most effective treatments that anyone can try is Ayurveda.

Allopathy is another method that can effectively treat arthritis, but it may not suit everyone. On the other hand, Ayurveda, being the oldest way to cure, is a great approach to find relief and is often a suitable option.

Types of Arthritis in Ayurveda

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis often known as degenerative joint disease. It typically affects hands, hips, and knees.

Osteoarthritis occurs when joint cartilage breaks down, leading to changes in the underlying bone. These changes progress slowly, worsening over time, causing arthritis joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Some individuals also experience reduced mobility, impacting their ability to perform daily tasks.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, causing painful swelling in affected parts.

It commonly targets multiple joints, particularly in the hands, wrists, and knees. Inflamed joints damage tissues, leading to chronic pain, instability, and deformity.

Rheumatoid arthritis can also affect other body tissues, causing issues in the lungs, heart, and eyes.

Smoking, obesity, and genetics contribute to its development.

Common Causes of Osteoarthritis

Arthritis | Injury or Overuse | VedicSutrra | NOIDA

Injury or Overuse

A common joint injury or repeated stress on your joints, can harm them and lead to the development of osteoarthritis (OA).

Arthritis | Obesity | VedicSutrra | NOIDA

Obesity

Carrying extra weight can stress your joints, leading to osteoarthritis (OA) in those areas. This mainly occurs in the hip and knee joints. Obesity slows down your metabolism, raising the risk of osteoarthritis (OA).

Arthritis | Genetics | VedicSutrra | NOIDA

Genetics

If a person has family members with osteoarthritis (OA), they are more likely to develop it too.

Common Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis | Inherited Traits | VedicSutrra | NOIDA

Genetics/Inherited Traits

Individuals born with specific HLA (human leukocyte antigen) class II genotype genes are more prone to developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These genes can also worsen arthritis symptoms.

Arthritis | Smoking | VedicSutrra | NOIDA

Smoking

Smoking is a significant contributor to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Smoking cigarettes not only raises the risk of developing this arthritis but also worsens its symptoms once it occurs.

Arthritis | Obesity | VedicSutrra | NOIDA

Obesity

Being overweight increases the likelihood of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Panchakarma Ayurvedic Treatment for Arthritis

Panchakarma Ayurvedic treatment is a natural way to help cleanse and revitalize the body, making it especially useful for those dealing with arthritis. This treatment can reduce pain and help restore balance in your body. Here’s how it works:

  • Purvakarma (Preparation Phase): In the first phase, the body gets ready for detoxification:
  • Snehana (Oil Massage): Warm herbal oils are gently massaged into the skin. This not only improves blood flow but also provides relief from joint pain.
  • Swedana (Steam Therapy): After the massage, steam therapy is used to help clear toxins and ease stiffness in the joints. 

Pradhan Karma (Main Treatment Phase)

This part includes the main treatments:

  • Virechana (Purgation Therapy): A natural laxative helps to cleanse the digestive system and eliminate extra toxins.
  • Basti (Enema Therapy): Herbal enemas are given to help balance the body’s energies and reduce inflammation in the joints.
  • Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Herbal oils are applied through the nose to help clear congestion and support better breathing.

Paschat Karma (Post-Treatment Care)

After the main treatments, it’s important to restore balance:

  • Dietary Recommendations: A personalized diet plan is created to support healing and keep the joints healthy.
  • Lifestyle Guidance: Activities like yoga and meditation are encouraged to enhance overall well-being.

Arthritis symptoms are effectively managed through Panchakarma Ayurvedic treatment, while the underlying causes are also addressed. This holistic approach can lead to improvements in overall quality of life.
