Ayurvedic treatment of arthritis
Natural treatments of arthritis (Sandhigat Roga) can terminate the root cause & prevent its recurrence. There is a clear mentioning of two basic types of arthritis which are rheumatoid arthritis (Ama Vata) & osteoarthritis (Sandhigat Vata). According to Ayurvedic scripts, the improper dietary habits (e.g. Vata-aggravating diet) & sedentary lifestyle leads to diminished intensity of digestive fire, accumulation of toxins (Ama), & vitiation of Vata (air).

Vitiated Vata: - The vitiated Vata circulates toxins, to the various channels of the body & deposits it in the joints. Hence, the first step in the Ayurvedic treatment of arthritis starts with the pacification of aggravated Vata & elimination of toxins from the body. Ayurveda explains several wellness products for enhancing the digestive fire to terminate the formation of Ama.
Accumulated Ama (toxins): - The Ama has a drying effect on the cartilage & this leads to bone rubbing. The Ama can also lead to channel-blockage, implying hindered supplies of nutrients to the joints, enhancing the deterioration rates. Hence, the arthritis treatment is focused on toxins (Ama) reduction, inflammation treatment (Shamana Chikitsa) & Oja's nourishment to terminate the inappropriate immune responses through Rasayanas. Treatment of arthritis stimulates the digestive fire (Deepana), toxins digestion (Ama Pachana), & stabilizes Vata within the body. Natural integrity of the colon is established by strengthening the alimentary canal & the metabolic pathways. Natural remedies for arthritis ensure an unblocked circulatory system yielding an optimum functioning of the joints.

The common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are Angamarda (body ache), Aruchi (loss of appetite), Trishna (Excessive thirst), Alasya (lethargy), Gourava (heaviness in the body), & Jwara (feverishness). This is autoimmune-disease, in which Ojas is diminished along with Ama (Toxin) accumulation. Such conditions subsequently vitiate all three Doshas & result in the condition known as Amavata. Unfortunately, Mandagni (diminished digestive fire) leads to Ama, which promotes the continuation of the disease, if left untreated. Ayurvedic natural treatment of rheumatic arthritis targets the vitiated Vata & calms it down to a required level. Ayurvedic supplements reinforce the digestive system to ward off the Ama formation. Thus, produced purified plasma assimilates in the body adequately, resulting in effective treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Ayurvedic treatment of psoriatic arthritis: Natural treatment of psoriatic arthritis
Ayurvedic practitioners classify psoriasis as "Kushtha". In Ayurvedic terms, psoriasis seems to occur as a result of vitiation of two Doshas viz. Vata & Kapha. Such vitiations manifest underneath the skin & cause accumulation of toxins in the skin, causing inflammation. The accumulated toxins reach up to Rasa (nutrient plasma), Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscles), & Lasika (lymphatic) tissues to induce severe joint inflammations (arthritis). Click to Read More....
